We bought 6 lessons for my daughter (4.5 years old) and my son (3 years old). Before the lessons, neither child could swim without a floater or liked putting their faces in the water. Our instructor Wanda McKittrick did a fantastic job. We were extremely patient and encouraging as she worked with my kids. By the end of the 6 lessons, my daughter was swimming on her own without a floater, and jumping off the side of the pool. Both kids felt 100% more comfortable in the pool.

We are so very pleased with our experience with Sunsational and our incredible instructor Suzanne. You can't beat the convenience of an instructor coming to your home. We are so lucky that instructor has been Suzanne! She is very patient and encouraging to our 3 year old. He has come so far in his comfort level in the water and is starting to grasp swim
basics. It was so important to us to find someone who made learning swim fun, and she does it wonderfully! Thank you so much Suzanne & Sunsational Swim School!
Suzanne was incredible with my boy. Very patient and positive. My son was 2 years 5 months and now 2 years 8 months and we have completed 16 of 18 lessons. He has made so much progress. He is the size of a 4-5 year old yet only 2, so not quite swimming on his own but very close. I will work with him over the Fall and when he is 3 definitely sign up for lessons again. Great experience, comes to your pool, one on one lessons and very flexible. Highly recommend Sunsational and Suzanne.
We had Miss Wanda McKittick while we were in Florida this winter for 5 weeks, in the Naples area. It was a great experience for our 3 year old son who is just getting started with swimming lessons. After the first lesson, he ditched his puddle jumper for good. He had so much confidence doing crab walks on the wall in the deeper areas and staying in the shallow water where he could practice his new skills. He loves the activity where he would try and touch the toy fish on the bottom. He still talks about it to this day!. I Highly recommend Sunsational and Miss Wanda!

Anthony Williams was a fantastic swim teacher for my 3 year old Daughter. He has such patience and a great sense of humor which meant that my daughter was able to build a super relationship with him from day one. Anthony really cares about the pupils he teaches and goes above and beyond to ensure that they get the most from their swimming lessons. We now have a very competent and confident little swimmer who amazes us with her ability to do so much at such a young age in the water. Thank you Anthony.

Hi, my name is Wanda and I graduated from Northern State University with a Bachelor in Elementary Education. I swam competitively in high school. I’ve taught swim lessons for 5 years. I have experience with infants to 12 year olds. I’ve also worked with children for 30 years as preschool teacher, preschool director, early head start home visitor, special education preschool and a nanny. I hope I can teach children to love water like I do.

Hi, my name is Mait, and I have experience with lifeguarding/swim instructing children from the ages of 1-12, working on basic skills all the way to stroke technique. I also have years of experience working with children, including children with special needs, through babysitting, and volunteering as a mentor with the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. I love teaching swimming as I was a competitive swimmer for 10+ years, and it is such a vital skill for everyone to have, especially in Florida!

Hi. My name is Gisele. I learned to swim at age 3, and have found joy (and safety) in the water ever since! I have fluid, correct strokes and am a very strong swimmer. As a youth, I swam on various recreational and professional swim teams and worked as a lifeguard too. I am an educator with lots of experience working with young children (typical and special needs). I have taught ages 6 months-adults to swim. I am patient, kind, and lots of fun.

Hi, My name is Micheale. I have been teaching children to swim for over 20 years. I have been watching and teaching children for almost 30 years. I attended college in Arizona. Growing up in Florida water safety and knowing how to swim was like learning how to walk, ride a bike, and learning how to read. Important and something that came naturally. I want all kids to enjoy the water and know how to be safe around it. :)

I bring a wealth of experience and a deep love for swimming to every lesson. With a background in competitive swimming, including four years of college level, Ive transitioned seamlessly into coaching, driven by a passion for helping others age 2-adults discover the joy and confidence that comes from mastering the water. To all 3 levels: beginner, intermediate, advance! Family friendly, continuous progress, and complete attention!

Hi, I'm Jesvia. I've been teaching swimming lessons for over 6 years, from infants at 8 weeks old to individuals in their 70s. Alongside this, I've volunteered for my kids' soccer and flag football teams. I was a national water polo team member for 20+ years. By day, I'm an HR Coordinator and wellness program advocate. As a mom of two and fiance to a veteran, safety is paramount. Teaching swimming isn't just a passion, it's imparting life-saving skills, with discipline and fun.
