Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Ponte Vedra Beach

Focus on Water Safety

Where do most young children drown in Ponte Vedra Beach? Sadly, the answer is 'in their own swimming pool'. For this reason, our lessons prioritize the 'Sunsational Safety Sequence': turning around and reaching the side of the pool after an accidental fall into the water. We make that sequence the heart of our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee for students ages 3 and older.

Convenient Scheduling

Trying to fit kids into group lessons can often feel like fitting a square peg into a round hole! With Sunsational, you set the day of the week and the time that is the best fit for you. Weekdays before lunch? Weekend afternoons? Multiple children in back-to-back lessons three days a week? Absolutely!

Customized Lesson Plans

Most swim lessons take a one-size-fits-all approach to instruction, but Sunsational lessons are personalized for each swimmer. Our teachers recognize and honor individual needs, differences, and strengths, and their one-on-one lessons are tailored to help your child progress in the way that is most effective for them.

Home or Community Pool: Your Choice!

You select the pool that fits your active lifestyle, whether that's down the street or at your home. You'll soon see how much money and time you save when you have a Sunsational Swim instructor that comes to YOU!

My husband and I are so glad we selected your company for swim lessons for our daughters. When I first called, all of my questions were answered in detail and I was provided additional helpful information. We were quickly matched with a great swim instructor, Maddie. She was amazing with our kids. Our 2 year old now knows basic swim techniques as well as survival techniques such as how to grab on to the wall and monkey crawl to the stairs. She has learned how to jump in and hold her breath and close her eyes. Our 1 year old learned age appropriate techniques (she started at 9 months). I am very happy with how our kids have progressed with the lessons.

Teaching a 2-year-old how to swim and be safe in the pool is no easy task, but Ms. SaCoastia did this with patience and persistence. She was just the right balance of kind and firm with my cautious child. My child is much more confident in the pool and can swim to the edge of our pool and monkey crawl to the stairs and get out on her own! This was only with one package, so we'll probably get another set of lessons to hone my child's skills even more! Thank you Sunsational and Ms. SaCoastia!

My 5 yr old daughter loved Miss Cocoa (Sacostia). She went from only swimming in the pool with her paddle jumper to swimming like a brave little fish within a few lessons. By the end she was swimming in the deep end, started to learn the breaststroke and could jump in and swim back and forth to the side with no problems. Miss Cocoa was very strict but kind. She was always on time and communicated well in advance if there was a delay or changes needed to the schedule. She was also very easy to work around my schedule and any changes that came up, mainly due to rain. I can't say enough nice things about Miss Cocoa. My daughter was so proud of herself. She still asks about Miss Cocoa. I will be sure to request her at the next round of lessons :)

I am a 60 yr old who wanted to become a stronger more effective swimmer before a water vacation. I found Sunsational online . It was an easy enrollment.

My instructor Clare was FANTASTIC! My friend and I drastically improved our swimming in a short period of time . Clare helped us perfect our stroke, increase our strength and designed drills to improve the skills we would need for snorkeling and swimming in potentially rough water. So happy we had Clare as our instructor! Highly recommend!!

Michelle Davis was our swim instructor for my two grandsons. She was so patient and always communicated with me regarding the swimming schedule. Our five-year-old was our greatest concern, but after intensive swimming lessons, he could swim to the side of the pool and float in his back. Our other grandson just needed to refine his skills, and she worked to improve his swimming style. Excellent swim instructor!

We'va had a great experience with our instructor Katie H. She has been amazing with our kids and has been able to excite them about learning to swim and get over their previous fears of the water. They have progressed immensely over the course of our lessons and we couldn't say more great things about Katie.

Sunsational swim school is a great deal. What's better than having a personal swim instructor teach your kids in your own pool? our teacher, Catherine, was excellent. Very patient and fun. The kids were excited every day for their lesson and could not wait for her to come. I would recommend sunsational to anyone wanting to teach pool safety and swimming in their own home.

I had a great experience taking lessons from Catherine. She covered most of the strokes and skills in a month's time (3 hours a week) and taught them in an effective manner. I have learned so much in a short period of time thanks to her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone taking swim lessons. thanks, Sunsational

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.

We specialize in private, at-home swimming lessons. Our swim instructors come to you and service all of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL and surrounding areas.

Our Learn to Swim Guarantee promises that children ages 3 years and older will demonstrate critical water safety skills after 12 private lessons.

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.
