Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Carmichael

Focus on Water Safety

Where do most young children drown in Carmichael? Sadly, the answer is 'in their own swimming pool'. For this reason, our lessons prioritize the 'Sunsational Safety Sequence': turning around and reaching the side of the pool after an accidental fall into the water. We make that sequence the heart of our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee for students ages 3 and older.

Convenient Scheduling

Trying to fit kids into group lessons can often feel like fitting a square peg into a round hole! With Sunsational, you set the day of the week and the time that is the best fit for you. Weekdays before lunch? Weekend afternoons? Multiple children in back-to-back lessons three days a week? Absolutely!

Customized Lesson Plans

Most swim lessons take a one-size-fits-all approach to instruction, but Sunsational lessons are personalized for each swimmer. Our teachers recognize and honor individual needs, differences, and strengths, and their one-on-one lessons are tailored to help your child progress in the way that is most effective for them.

Home or Community Pool: Your Choice!

You select the pool that fits your active lifestyle, whether that's down the street or at your home. You'll soon see how much money and time you save when you have a Sunsational Swim instructor that comes to YOU!

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
Carolyn was amazing! She was patient, kind, and made every lesson a fun experience for my son. I don't think he even realized it was a "lesson." He just knew his friend Carolyn was coming over to swim with him. I would highly recommend her.

We had a great experience using this school. They got back to me right away and I was able to connect with the instructor by text. We had Abi and she is fantastic! Very encouraging and helpful. My daughter was comfortable with her from the first day. I highly recommend Abi!
Bambi C on yelp
Vincent was great! Worked well with the kids to where they were comfortable with him. He pushed them in a gentle manner and was willing to take parental feedback.
Zac S on yelp
Kelly was awesome!!! She worked with both of our boys, ages 4 and 7. With her instruction, I was very amazed at how they progressed. Both are now very comfortable in the water, and can both swim. Our 7 year old was a quick learner. He just needs to learn the butterfly stroke. Our youngest isn't as good or as fast as the older, but he can for sure keep his head out of water. I would definitely recommend using Sunsational Swim School.
If you have a pool in your backyard, this is the way to go. 1 on 1 instruction. Or in our case 1 on 2 instruction. And if you are in the Roseville/Rocklin area, Kelly is someone you can trust with your kids in the pool.

Kelly was amazing with my kids. They went from being afraid of the deep end and just wanting to jump up and down in the water to swimming the length of the pool and jumping into the deep end-- all in just six lessons. I highly recommend Sunsational Swim School!

Marriaha has gone above and beyond our expectations with our son, Gabriel!

When she first came to us, Gabriel did not even want to go into the water. Today, he can jump in, turn, kick to the side, and reach the edge, almost all by himself. He is able to go under the water and "swim" about 3 to 4 feet from one person to another or to the steps. My husband and I both feel confident that he is on his way to being a good little swimmer very soon, and only at the age of 3 years old.

Gabriel's confidence has improved dramatically as a result of our lessons with Marriaha, and we will forever be grateful!

Ally has been great with my son. He is progressing well and he really likes her. He is no longer afraid of the water and is excited before each swim lesson but he thought it was more of a "play date". She has been very accommodating when we have needed to change a lesson.

our instructor Alison has been really good with my son, and flexible with her schedule. My son actually looks forward to his lessons, and is getting more comfortable in the water.

We have been using Sunsational for our kids every summer and this is in fact our 3rd year with them. Sunsational has been so great in accomodating our needs especially when ot comes to planning the schedule for their swim lesssons. They make sure that the instructors they match follow the rules and policies of Sunsational. They are also so fast in finding an instructor and the whole process in signining up with them is very simple and easy.

Vlad has been exactly what we needed to vault our 8 y/o granddaughter into being a confident, skilled swimmer! He is patient, kind, funny, dedicated, and purposeful in his teaching - and did I say PATIENT??? I highly recommend him as an instructor, I am very, very pleased.

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 Carmichael, 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. .

All Sunsational Swim Instructors are certified in CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety.

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.
