Private Swim Lessons
in Sacramento, CA

If you’re ready to take Sacramento swim lessons on your terms, you’ve come to the right place. Sunsational Swim School will deliver a swim instructor to the pool of your choice at a time that’s convenient for you. That’s right. There’s no need to drive across town or rearrange your schedule to accommodate a swim teacher in Sacramento. You can book your private swim lessons in Sacramento and surrounding areas today – right from this website.

Everyone who lives in Sacramento appreciates the appeal of swimming and water sports. On 100+ degree Sacramento summer days, the pool is the place to hang out and cool off. Swim teams are as abundant as the city’s trees, and every gym has a lap pool. In community pools, water aerobics classes are often held year-round – even on those winter mornings socked in with Tule fog. And the Sacramento River is perfect for boating, waterskiing, and jet skiing.

In Sacramento, knowing how to swim is almost as important as knowing how to walk. But group swim lessons for infants, toddlers, and kids at park and recreation districts are almost always full and are always a hassle. Besides, in group Sacramento swim lessons, the child spends most of the time at the side of the pool while the instructor works with other kids. In contrast, Sunsational Swim School’s private swimming lessons in Sacramento deliver the one-on-one instruction that allows students to quickly progress and excel.

When you book your Sunsational Sacramento swim lessons, you’ll be paired with a swim instructor in Sacramento who will come to your private pool, community pool, country club pool – or any other pool to which you have access. Your lessons will be tailored to the student’s needs and goals – whether the student is a child or an adult, a beginner or a triathlete – and taught on your timetable. Best of all, you’ll get the Sunsational Learn-to-Swim Guarantee and our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Why wait? Book your private swimming lessons in Sacramento today!

Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
We had a great experience using this school. They got back to me right away and I was able to connect with the instructor by text. We had Abi and she is fantastic! Very encouraging and helpful. My daughter was comfortable with her from the first day. I highly recommend Abi!

Alison was so patient with my son. She was firm and expected him to push past his fear but she then praised him and built up his confidence. We never heard her waver in her support of him. He learned a lot of skills in 6 short days, but above all, he's more confident in the water. I would hire Alison again in a heartbeat, and actually wonder if it is possible to rebook the same teacher if she's available next summer. Thanks!

Our instructor Robert did a great job with our boys. He was incredibly patient with them and made the lessons fun while helping my little one gain more confidence and my older boy to become a much stronger swimmer.

Sara was such a fantastic instructor for our 3-year-old! She was kind and patient with her, and used great incentives (playing games and motorboat) to motivate her to do her best. She was very knowledgeable, and knew what skills our daughter needed to practice to move to the next level. Sara was a perfect fit, and we are so happy with the results of these lessons! We have a little swimmer now!

Wonderful! It's a huge investment, but so important. We love having the instructor in our home rather than having to travel to a public pool. I spoke with Sunsational and they answered all of my questions. Easy to schedule and I love that the have highly qualified instructors. Our instructor is Alison and she is so patient and yet making great progress with our 4 year old son. He did not know how to swim and hates putting his face in the water. 4th lesson he's going underwater and she has let him go a little bit at a time to swim on his own. Wow! I was so impressed and so pleased. After Alison left my son asked if we could invite her over for his birthday party - yes the very same boy who asked me to cancel all the lesson's on his 2nd day. Thank you Alison!!!

Kayla was a great swim teacher. We have had lessons in the past and never felt like the kids learned or progressed much. Kayla is fun and kind but firm. She is truly knowledgeable about teaching swimming and has helped my kids tremendously!
Living outside of the city has been difficult to get into swim lessons classes. This was a great and easy way for us to get personalized lessons at convenient times for 2 different aged kids. Our instructor was fabulous. My 3 1/2 yr old can swim and my 8yr old could compete on a swim team if chooses. Scheduling lessons and adjusting times directly with the instructor was great with our changing schedule.

Alison is an AMAZING instructor! She works so well with our stubborn daughter. She's also very understanding when it comes to rescheduling lessons. 11/10 would highly recommend!!
Customer Review On yelp
We purchased 18 classes for our 3 year old and we have 5 left to go. I'm extremely satisfied with Sunsational Swim School and our instructor Madeleine! I received my confirmations and matching very quickly. Madeleine is great, very prompt, super flexible with our schedule and AMAZING with our son! In 13 classes our 3 year old son is so much more comfortable in the water, almost swimming and floating on his own, learned to catch his breath, go under water, walk on the bottom of the pool and safely get out of the pool on his own. We've had a great experience so far.

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 Sacramento, 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. If you don't have access to a pool, consider these public Sacramento pools near you: Doyle Pool Oki Pool McClatchy Pool.
What qualifications do your instructors have?
All Sunsational Swim Instructors are certified in CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety. Many of our instructors in Sacramento, CA also have additional certifications in lifeguarding, water aerobics, and infant swimming. We ensure that every instructor has at least two years of teaching experience and undergoes rigorous background checks. 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. Begin a registration now to select your package and see a full, no obligation price quote.
When can I register? How?
