Infant Swim Lessons with a Sunsational Instructor

Your baby’s first splash should be fun – not stressful. But with drowning being the leading cause of death for young children under the age of four, including babies, water safety isn’t optional – it’s essential. That’s where our top-rated, experienced instructors come in.

Our lessons help support your baby’s progress from their first splashes in the water to more advanced water safety skills. Our swim instructors teach with gentle techniques like songs, games, and repeated guided movements. Your baby can learn to float, kick, enter the water with assistance, and find the pool edge, with skills introduced progressively based on each child’s readiness. We call this skillset the Sunsational Safety Sequence. All infant swim lessons are parent-and-baby, with a caregiver in the water for every lesson for children under 2 years old. Families also have the option to create small group parent-and-baby swim lessons with friends or playgroups for a shared experience.

When can babies start swim lessons?

From backyard pools to sun-drenched beach days, water is everywhere—but is your baby ready? The American Academy of Pediatrics supports introducing children to the water early as part of a layered approach to drowning prevention. Many families choose to begin parent-and-baby swim lessons as early as six months to start building comfort and foundational water safety skills. A lifetime of water adventures is such a precious gift for your child. Parent-and-baby swim lessons are a great way to spend fun, quality time together while helping your child build foundational water safety skills. Start early and enjoy the experience together.

Baby swim lessons made easy for parents

Getting to swim classes can be tough – that’s why we bring baby swim lessons to you! We want your baby to be comfortable in the water, so we offer private parent and baby lessons or the option to create a small baby group (3 to 6 babies) with your friends.Our instructors make it easy for everyone to have fun while learning key water safety skills together. Babies will receive a certificate after completing their lessons. What’s more fun than your baby earning a certificate with their friends?

Cathi has been an outstanding swim instructor for both of the kids. After just two lessons, the 1 and 3 year old have become noticeably more comfortable and confident in the water. Cathi clearly goes above and beyond, taking extra care to ensure even very young children feel safe while learning new skills. Both children quickly grew comfortable, smiling and participating after only a short time. Cathi adapts her teaching style to each child’s age and comfort level, showing real patience and encouragement. Her creative and gentle approach makes swim lessons something the kids look forward to each week. There is clear, steady progress after every session, and trust was built right away. Overall Impression It’s rare to find an instructor who brings out so much confidence and joy in such young children, making Cathi highly recommended for families looking for a fun and positive introduction to swimming.

We had an amazing experience with Austin as our son's instructor. Our toddler just turned 2, which is a challenge in general, but Austin was endlessly patient with the perfect demeanor to teach such a young child with a very short attention span. He was always very communicative, polite, professional and on time. If we decide to book additional lessons when our son is older we would definitely want to work with him again!

'Our 1.5-year-old started lessons very nervous and scared to even touch the water -- but thanks to Miss Stephanie's incredible patience and gentle approach, she's now completely comfortable and loves being in the pool. Over just a short time, she went from crying when entering the water to joyfully floating on her back, splashing around, and playing with pool toys. It's been amazing to watch her confidence and happiness grow each week. Miss Stephanie is not only patient but also very understanding and accommodating when life happens and we've needed to reschedule. We are so grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the genuine care she shows for each child. We couldn't recommend her more highly -- she's been a huge part of helping our little one learn to love the water!' -Maggie M

Teaching a 2-3 year old to swim is hard work! Highly recommend Aiden if your looking for private lessons for your toddler

Quan was the instructor for our 3 kids ages 6, 4 and 2 yrs. He was exceptional with getting them swim safe. Our boys can freely swim and our 2 yr old daughter is getting very close to completing a swim-float-swim style. He was very patient with our kids and energetic enough to keep their interest. If you are fortunate to get Quan as your kids instructor (or for yourself) I truly feel you are learning from one of the best!

5 reasons to start baby swim lessons now

Many parents wonder if their baby is too young to start learning to swim.They think babies will eventually learn the skills on their own, or that the skill isn’t necessary. Here’s why starting baby swim lessons now is a smart choice:

Water safety starts early

Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children under five. Babies are naturally curious, which is why baby swimming lessons make so much sense. An awareness of the water, and water safety skills, could very well save your child’s life one day.

Decreased risk of drowning

It’s not always possible to watch your child every second, and water is often part of everyday life—from bathtubs and backyard pools to beaches, splash pads, and family outings. Young children can be at risk around even small amounts of water, especially infants & toddlers under 5. Swimming lessons can help children build comfort in the water and begin developing important water safety skills as part of a broader approach to drowning prevention.

Encourages social interaction

Swimming and playing in the pool with parents and other babies helps boost babies' social development.  Babies learn through shared experiences, laughter, and engaging in activities together. Your child shouldn't have to skip these character-forming moments due to a fear of the water or because you simply haven't found the time for swim lessons.

Builds their strength

For babies, swimming helps strengthen their muscles, improve coordination, and enhance their motor skills – all without any unnecessary stress on joints. Plus, the water’s resistance provides a full-body workout, even for the tiniest of swimmers. Swimming may even help learn to walk sooner thanks to better muscle control.

Lifelong skill that starts early

Swimming is a skill for life. Providing your baby with swimming lessons opens up a whole new arena of fun and fitness that they can participate in all their lives. If you don't know how to swim, consider taking a parent and baby swim class together or taking adult swim lessons on your own. Create core memories in the water, together!

WE CARE ABOUT WATER SAFETY

After years of offering swimming lessons for babies, we understand that building water safety skills is an important part of learning to swim. Instructors focus on helping students develop these skills through guided play, repetition, and positive experiences to build foundational swimming skills.

How to prepare your baby for swim lessons

Not ready for a formal class yet? Start at home! Simple activities in the bathtub, like gently pouring water over your baby’s head, introducing words like “kick” and “splash”, or laying them on their back in shallow water, can help them feel comfortable in the water before their first lesson. When you’re ready for the pool, help your baby be successful with these tips:

  • 1

    Feed them at least 30 minutes before a lesson to prevent tummy discomfort

  • 2

    Pack essentials like swim diapers, towels, dry clothes, and fresh diapers

  • 3

    Arrive early so you have time to get ready

  • 4

    Ease into the water to keep the experience positive

Water safety is always the number one priority

Even the most comprehensive water training program isn’t enough to drown-proof your child. Babies should always be within arm’s reach in the water, and children should never swim unsupervised. The goal of baby swim lessons is to help build comfort in the water and introduce foundational water safety skills, which may help reduce the chance of accidental drowning as part of a broader approach to water safety. This includes active supervision, pool fences and barriers, alarms, and other safety measures, but risk can never be eliminated completely.

Even if your little one was the star of the class, it’s important to remain vigilant with supervision to help ensure positive and safe experiences in and around the water for years to come.
