Private Swim Lessons
in Fort Lauderdale, FL

If you live in the Fort Lauderdale area, there’s water everywhere you look! If you’re catching waves at Dania Beach or chilling out in your own pool, you know how important it is to be safe in and around the water. From Pompano Beach to Plantation and everywhere in between, water safety skills are one of the most important gifts you can give your family members, from child to adult.

At Sunsational Swim School, students of all ages—infants, toddlers, older kids, and adults!—learn the skills they need to be safer in the pool, whether that’s in their own pool or at a neighborhood facility. For swimmers who already know the four main strokes (backstroke, freestyle, breaststroke, and butterfly) and hope to compete with Swim Fort Lauderdale or another team, Sunsational has a number of current and former coaches whose private lessons will help improve your turns, speed, and stroke technique.

Sunsational’s Learn-to-Swim Guarantee package is unique in the world of swim instruction: if your swimmer hasn’t mastered the “Sunsational Safety Sequence”—responding to a simulated fall into the pool by turning around and swimming unassisted to the side—after the first twelve lessons, you receive up to four additional sessions at no extra cost, to help them complete learning these safety skills.

Regardless of your swimmer’s current ability level, you’ll love the difference between Sunsational Swim School’s effective, personalized private swimming lessons, and crowded group swimming classes with kids at your community pool. You’ll see progress in weeks, not months or years, when you work with a Sunsational swim teacher in Fort Lauderdale.

Our teachers plan lessons to fit your swimmer’s individual strengths and challenges, so that they can quickly gain essential water safety skills.

Courtney is teaching my 2.5 year old twins to swim at our pool. Both kids look forward to their lessons and we can see improvement in skills and confidence in the pool with each lesson. I feel like they are developing a great foundation for a lifetime of swimming.

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?

There are also other considerations when you ask "are private swim lessons worth it?" In most cases, we find the answer to be yes.
