Private Swim Lessons
in Desoto, TX

Driving kids all over Desoto 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 Desoto! 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 Desoto 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 Desoto. 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 Desoto swim lessons today and see the Sunsational difference for yourself?

Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Desoto

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 Desoto 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 Desoto 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.

Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
Cheyenne was great! Our son loved the pool but was very tentative and was nervous to try to learn to swim. Wouldn't even put his face in the water. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts at public lessons we decided that a personal instructor would probably be better. After just two lessons Cheyenne had our son jumping into the pool with enthusiasm. He was definitely more nervous once she got to "the deep end" with him, but she was so patient and caring with him that she had him swimming with confidence by the time the lessons were complete. Thanks so much Cheyenne!

Tucker was absolutely AMAZING with our almost 3-year-old. He took her from swimming with floaties to swimming proficiently around the pool, under the water, and diving to get toys off the bottom in just 18 lessons. She loves him!! He was patient, gentle, reassuring, and built trust with her but also pushed her just enough to achieve the growth and confidence we see in her now in the pool. Could not be happier with our investment.

Our instructor, Marni, has been the perfect instructor for our 3-year-old son. He's pretty stubborn and scared of putting his head underwater. And luckily, Marni is as patient as can be with him, such a calm nature, which is exactly what he needs. It took a couple of lessons, but she was able to earn his trust, and he's well on his way to learning to swim. He's even excited to show us how he can dunk his head underwater!

Renee exceeded out expectations! She was timely, polite, and PATIENT :) Renee was able to make a quick connection with our 5 year old and made each lesson a fun experience for her. Our daughter looked forward to her weekly lessons, and it's AMAZING how much she learned in such a short time period. We would highly recommend her!

I researched several swim schools and decided on Sunsational and I am SO glad I did! They have the bios of each instructor so I was able to research them and they were so willing to work with me to find a female instructor for my 2 grand daughters ages 2 & 4! We were very blessed to get Renee and WOW! She was SO patient and calming with the girls and worked with our schedule! By the 3rd lesson the 4 year old was starting to overcome her fear of putting her face in the water and able to swim several feet! Highly recommend this school and Renee if you're lucky enough to get her!

We purchased the 12 30min lesson package for our 22 month old. It was the best decision we've ever made. I can't say enough great things about our experience with our instructor, Savannah Moore. Our girl went from crying, screaming and signing "help me" during the first lesson to jumping in the water, going under water and then reaching for the wall during her last lesson. Savannah's patience during the meltdowns was amazing to watch (and truly inspiring. Ha!) We will absolutely be requesting Savannah next year's swim lessob

We had a great experience working with our instructor Marni. After just a few lessons my 4 year old could swim in the pool unassisted and my 6 year old gained confidence with higher level skills. Marni's kind, gentle, and calm demeanor helped my kids feel comfortable with her instantly, I would absolutely recommend this service and working with Marni.

What are the benefits of private swim lessons vs group?

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