Private Swim Lessons
in Orlando, FL

There’s never a bad time to learn to swim in Orlando! Whether you’re out boating on Lake Apopka, making the short drive out to Cocoa Beach, or enjoying your own private swimming pool, you know that water is everywhere. Learning how to enjoy the water safely is a must for all residents of the Sunshine State, and at Sunsational Swim School, we bring those critical swimming skills to you.

When you sign up for private swim lessons with one of our Orlando-area instructors, you can rest assured that your child will quickly gain the skills needed to be safe in your home or community pool. Our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee means that your swimmer will be more likely to know how to avoid falling into the water, and how to turn around and get to the side if they do wind up in the pool.

Our Orlando swim lessons can help learners of all ages—infant, toddler, older child, or even adult!—to gain needed skills in a matter of weeks, not months or years like it often takes in group swim lessons. Before you know it, your swimmer will be able to approach water situations with confidence, from your home pool to the water parks at Disney and Sea World.

And, if your child is ready to take their swimming to the next level and join FSLA or one of the many other local swim teams, we can match them with an Orlando instructor with years of experience as a coach who can get them up to speed in no time. These same teachers can also help athletes training for a swim competition like a triathlon or even hoping for a qualifying time on a military swim test; just let us know your needs and we’ll find the best Sunsational instructor to help you get there!

Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Orlando

Focus on Water Safety

Because most drownings of young children happen in their home swimming pools, we prioritize teaching skills of water safety. Learning how to safely recover from a fall into the water by knowing where to find the ladder, turning around, and swimming back to the side is at the heart of our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee.

Convenient Scheduling

Need an early-morning swimming class or want to schedule two of your kids in back-to-back lessons? No problem! Our instructors schedule lessons according to your timeframe.

Customized Lesson Plans

No two students are the same, so our well-qualified instructors will make lesson plans that meet your child’s needs, using encouraging, gentle techniques to help them work through any fears they may have and quickly make progress in their ability to swim.

Home or Community Pool: Your Choice

Save time and money by choosing the location that fits your busy lifestyle. Sunsational Swim Instructors travel to your preferred community pool—or to your own backyard!

We were recommended to try out Sunsational by one of my mom's friends who live in Winter Garden. We went online to register for classes and days later we were contacted by Joel. One of the best decisions we ever made was to sign up for in-home swim lessons with Sunsational Swim school! Our instructor Joel has been patient and a good teacher to our child.

Joel is amazing coach. My son was lucky to have him. I will highly recommend him. Keep up the good work. My son loves his coach. You guys are really lucky to have him in your company.

Starting swim lessons for our 16 month old during the pandemic (with us spending more time at home) was the best thing we have ever done! Her grandparents have a pool at their house so pool safety is a high priority for our family. Teaching her to swim especially in Florida was a must. We couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Joel has been so helpful in teaching her the fundamentals of swimming and reminding us how to practice with her throughout the week. We have seen her progress so quickly in just 9 lessons and are sad our lessons are almost over. We are so grateful we found sunsational swim school so our little one is more comfortable and confident around the water!

Joel is amazing. Our girls (4 and 6) had been in community center swim lessons since they were babies but they still needed floaties. Since we recently moved into a house with a pool, we really wanted the peace of mind of knowing the girls can swim to safety if they fall in. Within 3 sessions, my oldest was swimming back and forth across the pool without a floatie. Now, after only 12 lessons, they are better swimmers than me. Joel was very patient but firm and they really liked and respected him. Thank you for what you do!

We've had several lessons with Bailee so far and our son is doing really well. Even diving down to get toys where before he wouldn't get his head in. So proud of the progress he's made with her instruction.

Our swim instructor, Joel is extremely patient, and finds creative ways to get our 3 and 6 year olds engaged in their lesson. He's even used music to get them going on their reluctant days. Both of them are making tremendous strides in just a few lessons.

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 Orlando, FL and surrounding areas.

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.
