Lorena is amazing with our 4-year-old. She has taught her how to swim and survive in just a few short weeks. She has been super flexible and accommodating with scheduling sessions. I am impressed by how she has taken a girl who was timid and apprehensive in the water to a water-loving mermaid. Our daughter calls Lorena her best friend. I highly recommend Lorena for your personal swim instructor!!

We could not be more pleased with Sunsational and our swim instructor, Debarati. From the very first lesson, my husband and I could see a noticeable difference in both our 5 and 3-year-olds demeanor towards swimming and getting their face wet. Both of our children could not swim in the beginning but within a few lessons, our 5-year-old was starting to swim on his own with supervision, happily dunking his head underwater and very excited about his progress. Our 3-year-old was extremely fearful of getting her face wet but Debarati was kind and patient but gave a gentle push and helped to give our daughter confidence in her abilities. Debarati was exceptional-professional, punctual, kind and we all really enjoyed working with her this summer!

Debarati was such a wonderful instructor for our 5 and 3 year old! We have had months of swim classes at another swim school with very little progress and within the first class, both kids were dipping their faces under water! By the end of our 12 lessons, our 5 year old is swimming independently and our 3 year old has greatly improved, as well. We all loved working with Debarati and would definitely recommend her and Sunsational!

We decided to do private back yard swim lessons for my 7 month old given that group classes were cancelled due to Covid. Sam our instructor has been amazing - we wear masks, she is so positive and informed and she is great with the baby helping to make swim time fun and get him comfortable in the water. She has also been super flexible and easy to work with! Highly recommend Sam!

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 Hinsdale, IL 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. Many of our instructors in Hinsdale, IL also have additional certifications in lifeguarding, water aerobics, and infant swimming. 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.
