Private Swim Lessons
in Alief, TX

Driving kids all over Alief for swim lessons can be aggravating: between struggling to get through traffic to get there on time and classes scheduled at the least convenient possible time, maybe you've asked yourself 'Is it worth it?'

The good news? There's a better, faster, less stressful way to help everyone in your family be more confident in the water: private swimming lessons with a Sunsational Swim instructor in Alief! When you choose us as your swim school, we bring personalized lessons to your club, community pool, or even your own backyard.

Everyone knows that kids learn better when they have one-on-one attention, so it's no surprise if you haven't been impressed by the results from your child's crowded group lessons at the public pool. And, if you are a reluctant adult that's finally brave enough to learn to swim, it's much less nerve-wracking to give it a try for the first time in the comfort and privacy of your Alief home—not next to a class of infants and toddlers who seem ready to compete in the Olympics!

From start to finish, we make learning to swim convenient, cost-effective, and confidence-building. To get started, enter your zip code and answer a few brief registration questions, and we'll match you with a top-notch swim teacher who will come to you: any time of day, anywhere in Alief. From early-morning sessions to prepare for a military swim test, to weekday afternoons after school to work on stroke technique for a swim team tryout, there's no schedule that our Sunsational instructors can't accommodate.

Does it sound too good to be true? It's not—and because we're so sure we'll deliver the results you want, you can take advantage of our Sunsational Learn-to-Swim Guarantee (for kids 3 and up), if your swimmer is still unable to turn around and reach the wall after our twelve-lesson package. Why not sign up for Alief swim lessons today and see the Sunsational difference for yourself?

Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Alief

Our Focus: Water Safety

Our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee emphasizes each student's ability to turn around and swim back to the wall after an unintentional fall into the pool. Swimmers throughout Alief have learned to be safer in their own backyards with Sunsational's private swimming lessons, learning these critical skills in the comfort of home swimming pools.

Scheduling at Your Convenience

Private swim lessons scheduled at the time that works best for YOU are the ultimate in stress-free swimming in the greater Alief area. Whether you have multiple kids that you want to schedule back-to-back or an adult in the family that needs lessons on their lunch break, our instructors can accommodate your calendar!

Individualized Lesson Planning

We understand that every swimmer brings a different set of skills and challenges to the water, so our personalized lessons help each student to conquer their fears and make real progress in their water safety skills. Not only do our infant and toddler classes help even the youngest swimmers to be able to turn around and get to the side of the pool, but our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee (for kids ages 3 and up) provides up to four extra lessons at no charge if your swimmer hasn't mastered our “Sunsational Swim Sequence” by the 12th class.

Which Pool? You Decide!

Our Sunsational instructors will work with you at your favorite pool in Alief, whether it's down the street or just outside your back door.

Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
Renee is doing an excellent job making our toddler feel comfortable with the water and learn the basics of swimming safety while also helping our 8 year old continue to progress in learning new techniques and hone her skills further. I really appreciate the focus on water safety during each lesson. I'd recommend Sunsational to anyone interested in learning to swim in the privacy of their own pool.

Chris is great! Super easy to work with and has been flexible with the schedule. Our daughter was acting shy and didn't want to float so he just went on with the next skill which is to pull yourself out of the pool by the ledge. Then on to kicking and eventually back to floating. He gives us advice on a couple of things we can practice before the next session. We get a really good read on what is going on and is able to communicate that to the parents. We have been very happy!
Megan W on yelp
Our instructor Erika was fantastic. She's really high energy and does a great job connecting with kids. She knows when to be supportive and when to push harder. Our son is 10 and swims well but some of his strokes needed refinement. Erika did a terrific job. Now his strokes are really smooth and he's fallen in love with swimming all over again. We highly recommend Erika for anyone looking for a swim instructor.

I cannot say enough about how much we love Miss Emma! My son is 15 months old and was not even remotely cooperative when we started lessons. Miss Emma went out of her way to make sure he felt comfortable with her and looked at the pool as a fun place. She was wonderful with him and he is jumping into the pool by himself and holding his breath like a champ! I cannot believe how much he has improved and I'm sure he will be swimming on his own before he turns 2. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating to our schedule. We are so grateful to Miss Emma for all that she did and I highly recommend her and Sunsational!

Emma Pace was my four year old daughter's swim instructor. Emma was very sweet, professional, friendly, and patient, and within a couple of lessons, my daughter trusted and became comfortable with her. She was always punctual and never hesitated to stay a bit longer when she was close to making a breakthrough in the specific lesson she was teaching that day. My daughter not only learned how to swim but she is very confident and loves being happy in the water (which makes me extremely happy). I highly recommend Emma! My daughter still asks Miss Emma.

Sunsational Swim has teamed us with the best coach possible for our kids. The 6 year old was not keen of swimming without floaters, but Ella has done magic with her, my 6 year old is not only swimming without floaters but is also trying to learn freestyle swimming in 6 classes
Customer Review On yelp
Erika has been an exceptional swim instructor and my daughter absolutely loves the lessons with her. She is patient and really cares about the progress of her students. I am very glad to have her as my daughters swim instructor and happy we went with Sunsational Swim School.
Grant B on yelp
Emma has been exceptional with my 2yr old daughter. She is very professional and knows exactly how to get a Toddler to pay attention and just the right moments to make learning fun. We're only a third of the way through lessons and my husband and I are thrilled with her progress. My daughter has really shown an increase in her confidence and is excited to practice her new skills. We can't wait to see how things go over the next 4 weeks!

Frequently Asked Questions

What age groups do you offer private swim lessons for?
We offer private swim lessons for swimmers of all ages, starting as young as 6 months and going through adulthood. Whether your child is a baby, toddler, or school-age, or you’re an adult looking to overcome a fear of water, our experienced instructors create personalized lesson plans to suit every age and skill level.
How long does it take to learn how to swim with private lessons?
While every swimmer is different, we proudly offer a Learn to Swim Guarantee for children ages 3 and up. Most students meet their water safety goals within just 12 lessons. Private swim lessons allow for one-on-one instruction, so learning is typically much faster compared to group lessons.
What are the benefits of private swim lessons vs group?
Private swim lessons offer personalized attention, ensuring each student receives tailored instruction based on their unique learning style and needs. In a private setting, the instructor can focus entirely on the swimmer's progress, allowing for faster skill development and addressing specific concerns or fears. There are also other considerations when you ask "are private swim lessons worth it?" In most cases, we find the answer to be yes.

We specialize in private, at-home swimming lessons. Our swim instructors come to you and service all of Alief, TX and surrounding areas.

What is your Learn to Swim Guarantee?
Our Learn to Swim Guarantee promises that children ages 3 years and older will demonstrate critical water safety skills after 12 private lessons.

If your child hasn’t reached this milestone, we’ll offer up to four additional lessons at no cost to ensure they meet the goal.
What is the cost and how many lessons are typically required?
The cost of private swim lessons varies based on the package you choose, with options ranging from 6 to 18 lessons.
