Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Costa Mesa

Our Priority Is Water Safety

The majority of child drownings happen when they are unable to safely exit the water after a fall into the water. For this reason, our Costa Mesa swim lessons emphasize teaching kids to find the side of the pool, turn around, and swim to the side.

Scheduling at Your Convenience

Want to plan your infant?s lessons before lunchtime? Definitely! What about an evening session for a reluctant adult that?s always wanted to learn to swim? We can do that! The time of day that best fits your busy life is a great time for a Sunsational Swim lesson.

Lesson Plans Unique to You

Our teachers use gentle encouragement and a progressive approach to plan lessons to meet each swimmer?s unique needs and rapidly learn the skills needed to be safer in and around the water. We?ve seen such consistent results with our program that we offer a Learn-to-Swim Guarantee package for ages 3 and up (infant and toddler lessons excluded).

You Choose the Pool

Your life often feels like it?s on fast-forward, right? Who wants to drive across Costa Mesa in order to get to overfilled swimming lessons when a Sunsational Swim teacher can bring a private swim class to your home or favorite local pool?

Our experience has been spectacular. Danilo is the best swim coach I've ever seen in action with kids and my son has learned a lot! Danilo is patient and focuses on the skills but makes it fun! My son Tyler always looks forward to his lesson with "Coach Dan". He definitely deserves a bonus, a raise, etc. Thank you!

My 6-year-old daughter started lessons with Doreen 3 weeks ago and we could not be happier with the results! Before she started, our daughter wouldn't submerge her head or swim in the deep end, let alone swim all 4 actual strokes. As of her 12th lesson (3 weeks later) she is jumping in, diving to the bottom of the pool, and has informally learned all 4 strokes!! Doreen has been amazing and our daughter looked forward to having her lesson every day! Best experience ever and money well spent! I highly recommend Doreen and Sunsational Swim School!

We signed out 6 years old up for lessons 3 weeks ago. We've had 4 lessons per week with Miss Doreen and couldn't be happier! Our daughter started lessons scared to dunk her head underwater and not wanting to swim in the deep end. Today, she's diving to the bottom of the pool all on her own and swimming in the deep end.

We started lessons back up this year 2020 and Sunsational swim school has paired us up with another great instructor. Lessons are going great! Alex A is a fantastic teacher and my son really loves working with her. She is always on time and has a great attitude. She finds ways to keep it fun for him so he stays engaged. She is fantastic. My son is only 3 1/2 and he swims pretty great for his age and I feel safe having him in the water. 2019 We have had lessons with Jennifer Le now for the past few months twiceand she is fantastic. My 2 1/2-year-old has had lessons before but he has excelled so much just in the past month with her. He was very difficult to work with in the beginning with crying and not wanting to swim but she was able to get him to swim and have fun. She was very open in switching days if that needed to be done and getting make up classes set up. Having swim lessons at my home is such an amazing convenience.

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 Costa Mesa, 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. .
What qualifications do your instructors have?
All Sunsational Swim Instructors are certified in CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety.

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.
