Private Swim Lessons
in Denver, CO

Although it may surprise you, Denver has an impressive array of opportunities for enjoying the water! From the water parks at Elitch Gardens and Water World to tubing on the Poudre River, there’s no shortage of opportunities to make a splash. Here in the Mile High City, one of the most important skills you can provide for a child is how to be safer around water.

At Sunsational Swim School, our private swim lessons throughout the Denver area help learners of all ages—from infant to adult!—grasp the skills needed to recover from a fall into the water, whether at the neighborhood swimming pool or in their own backyard.

You’ll love the difference between overfilled, one-size-fits-all group swimming classes at the public pool and our individualized private swimming lessons. When you’re paired with a Sunsational swim teacher in Denver, your swimmer will show improvement in weeks, not months or years. In fact, our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee package promises that if your child is unable to perform our “Sunsational Safety Sequence” (i.e. turn around and swim unassisted to the wall after a simulated fall into the pool) after the twelfth lesson, we’ll provide up to four free lessons to help them fully get there.

What if you know how to swim and need to get your racing strokes to a higher level? If you or your child are interested in swimming with the Denver Triton Swim Team (DTST) or another team in the area, our private lessons with current and former swim coaches are ideal for improving your technique in freestyle, butterfly, backstroke, and breaststroke, speeding up your turns, and maybe even winning a few races!

Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Denver

Our Priority Is Water Safety

Most drownings in Denver happen when a child cannot get out of the pool after a fall. For this reason, Sunsational swim lessons emphasize teaching kids to find the wall, turn around, and swim to the side of the pool.

Scheduling at Your Convenience

Any time that fits your lifestyle is a great time for a Sunsational Swim lesson. Need to fit in a toddler lesson after breakfast? Of course! Maybe you’d like an after-work class for an adult who is ready to conquer their fear of the water? No problem!

Lesson Plans Unique to You

Our teachers’ progressive approach gently helps swimmers quickly learn the skills needed to be safer in and around the water. Unlike one-size-fits-all group classes, Sunsational Swim lessons are customized to the strengths and challenges of each individual learner. We’ve seen such incredible results with our program that we gladly offer a Learn-to-Swim Guarantee package for swimmers 3 and older (infant and toddler lessons not included).

You Choose the Pool

We get it: you’re busy! Who needs to drive from Boulder to Aurora for twice-a-week swimming lessons with too many kids in the class? Take the hassle-free approach: have a Sunsational Swim instructor bring a private swim class to your home or favorite Denver pool!

Maria, was fantastic! So good with the kids and made each lesson fun for them while being assertive where she needed to be. We've see such great improvements with our kids' swimming and are absolutely thrilled with the results. Would highly recommend Maria as a teacher and Sunsational as a service.

Amanda was a wonderful teacher! My kids looked forward to her lessons- and they NEVER want to take lessons! She was kind, patient, and fun. My kids improved their swimming skills and gained more confidence.

Keesha was an amazing instructor! My son's confidence in the water and swimming ability has grown so much in the short time he's been with Keesha. She is a true professional with lots of patience and is also such a warm and kind person. She challenges my son with something new every lesson and encourages him throughout, giving him praise and high fives. We love Keesha and would highly recommend her!

The process was very straightforward. You do have to pay upfront but we were matched up with our instructor within a day or so. Keesha was able to accommodate my schedule and was very flexible when we had to reschedule any lessons. It was a truly great experience from beginning to end.

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 Denver, CO 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.
