Hi, I’m the CEO and founder of SafeSwimLA. I’ve been a swim instructor for 8 years and have a lifelong passion for swimming. Over the years, I’ve focused on teaching water safety and helping others build confidence in the water. I’m currently a finance major with associate degrees in business and economics, and I’ve used my education to turn my passion into a purpose-driven business with an amazing team. Swimming is more than a sport—it’s a life-saving skill, and I’m proud to share it with our community.

As a dedicated swim instructor and certified lifeguard, I’ve spent the past 3.5 years teaching children the joys and importance of swimming. I believe learning to swim should be fun, engaging, and empowering—not just another task. My goal is to create a positive, supportive environment where every child can build confidence and develop at their own pace. With patience, creativity, and energy, I’ve helped many young swimmers grow from nervous beginners into strong, confident swimmers. Each lesson is designed to be both enjoyable and impactful, instilling a lifelong love for swimming and water safety.

I’m Aren Malekian, and I’ve been passionate about basketball and swimming for over 12 years. I played both competitively, including two years on my high school swim team and four years of high school basketball. For the past two years, I’ve coached young athletes in both sports, helping them grow in skill and confidence. I enjoy working with kids and focus on teaching values like hard work, perseverance, and teamwork to make a lasting, positive impact.
