Private Swim Lessons
in Orange, CA

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

Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Orange

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 Orange 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 Orange 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.

Which Pool? You Decide!

Our Sunsational instructors will work with you at your favorite pool in Orange, whether it's down the street or just outside your back door.

Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
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 of the strokes!!! Doreen has been amazing and our daughter looked forward to having her lesson everyday! Best experience ever and money well spent! I highly recommend Doreen and Sunsational Swim School!

Doreen is very good teacher. She is very patient and knowledgeable. After 2 sessions, my daughter who is 5 years old has already know how to swim. After 6 sessions, my daughter is water safe. I'm very impressed on the progress. I will continue to book another 12 sessions for my son. Thanks for Doreen , my daughter is now water safe and I'm free of mind.

Miss Doreen has been the best! Our 6 year old daughter has learned so much, so quickly! Doreen is a great teacher, and is very patient and sweet. Our daughter was pool safe by the 6th lesson and has learned so much more than I had expected. This is her last week of lessons and has already gotten her back stroke, breast stroke, freestyle, diving, and so much more down. Highly recommend Sunsational!

I found Sunsational Swim School as I was searching for an instructor to give the kids a 12 day crash course for swimming before we left for our summer vacation! With the kids being in school everyday until 5 and both my husband and I working full time, we struggled with finding a swim instructor that could accommodate our schedules! Sunsational Swim quickly matched us with Doreen who was a true blessing! She was incredibly patient and sweet with the kids, made it a point to teach them safety while enhancing their swim skills and was very accommodating to our crazy schedules! Thanks Doreen- we look forward to booking you again when we get back from vacation!

Maura has really developed a rhythm w/ our 4-year old son and he is excited for her to come for lessons. He is getting so much better with his strokes and the improvements overall that he is making are great!
Nicole C on yelp
Doreen is an absolutely wonderful swim instructor!. At our first lesson, my 6 year old was super nervous about being in the pool. After just a couple of lessons, she was confident and 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?
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 Orange, 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. .

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.
