Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
I scheduled my 5 YO for swim lessons and from the time I was connected with the instructor (Grant) to completing the lesson package was a great experience. Customer service is a lost art and Grant gives me hope that there are people who truly care about their job. Grant scheduled a phone call well in advance of the first class to gain a better understanding of what we wanted to accomplish and to understand what works and what doesn't for our child in a learning environment. In addition, Grant would always text to confirm our scheduled class which I always appreciate. As soon as my 5 YO met Grant, they immediately felt at ease and you could feel Grant's confidence and presence. He encouraged where necessary spoke with a gentle authority and above all made sure to have fun!! Thanks Grant and hope many more families get the opportunity to have you as an instructor!

James was an excellent instructor. My kids are now more confident swimmers and love swimming. James got them motivated to continue learning water sports. James was always on time, provided lesson feedback and what each kid should work on for practice, and was always very kind. My kids had the best time! We moved to another area of the county and I hope we will be able to find an instructor like James again. If you want your kiddo(s) to become proficient and love learning, definitely go with Sunsational!

Ms. Christina has been so good with our group of 6 kiddos. We have two babies, two beginners and two intermediate swimmers that make up our group and she has done a wonderful job of teaching each of them at their levels and pushing them to learn new skills every day. We are very happy that we chose Sunsational Swim.

We have loved the 1-1 fun & learning with Grant Still. He has a great attitude even when my crazy 3 year old is splashing him in the face. He has taught him skills and created a level of excitement about swimming for my son. We have all thoroughly enjoyed the time and care put into each lesson.

Grant has blown us away with his skills! His expertise, patience, and age-appropriate sweet demeanor (and flexibility) are only a few of the strengths this coach has. His only character flaw is that he is a Washington Husky. :)

Nancy was a phenomenal teacher! My 5-year-old daughter learned much more than I ever expected her to in such a short period and she was just beyond excited every time Nancy arrived. She made swimming fun and was kind and understanding when my 2-year-old also wanted to join in on the fun! We had a wonderful experience and would recommend her to anyone!

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.
Where is your pool located?
We specialize in private, at-home swimming lessons. Our swim instructors come to you and service all of Carmel Valley, CA and surrounding areas.
What happens if I don’t have a pool at home?
No pool? No problem! Many of our clients use a neighborhood or community pool for their lessons. Our swim instructors are happy to meet you at any safe, local pool of your choosing. If you don't have access to a pool, consider these public Carmel Valley pools near you: Carmel Valley Pool .
What qualifications do your instructors have?
All Sunsational Swim Instructors are certified in CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety. Many of our instructors in Carmel Valley, CA also have additional certifications in lifeguarding, water aerobics, and infant swimming. We ensure that every instructor has at least two years of teaching experience and undergoes rigorous background checks. Every instructor is fully insured and covered under Sunsational Swim School's insurance policy.
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. Specifically, they’ll be able to swim to the side of the pool after an unexpected fall. 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. For most students, we recommend at least 12 lessons to build essential swimming and water safety skills, and we proudly offer a Learn to Swim Guarantee within those 12 lessons for children ages 3 and up.
