Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Runnemede

Focus on Water Safety

Where do most young children drown in Runnemede? 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!

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews

Heather is friendly, professional and she does a great job keeping my 2 year old daughter interested in what she is learning. My daughter has already learned so much in only 2 lessons. Having my child learn the necessary skills to become a good swimmer in a pool she is comfortable using and without the distraction of other children is great. I would highly recommend Heather and Sunsational Swim School!

Customer Review On yelp

We are so thankful for Sunsational swimming school for sending Heather out to us. My son is 4 years old and he has nonverbal autism and he is very much are drawn to the water. We've had a couple close calls with him almost drowning and we knew we needed someone out as soon as possible. Heather has been extremely patient with him, and he is shown much improvement we will definitely be continuing our lessons with them and Heather.

My son (3.5 years old) really wanted a "fast" swim teacher. Chits was wonderful!!! She encouraged him in all the right ways and I was amazed at how much he was doing after just the first lesson with her. She's patient and kind but firm when needed.

Customer Review On facebook

Heather has been fantastic with our kids. One is very outgoing and one is very shy and reserved. Heather works with them both in their element so they both feel comfortable! It's been a great experience thus far!

Jacob was extremely patient and kind with our son. He went from only swimming with a puddle jumper to now swimming under water with no assistance! In a very short time. Thank you Jacob!
