Private Swim Lessons
in San Antonio, TX

Warm weather lasts a long time in San Antonio, so it’s always the perfect time for swim lessons! While your child may have a long way to go before they’re ready to brave the water park at Six Flags just outside of San Antonio, or to tackle the waves at Port Aransas on your next family trip to the beach, Sunsational Swim School instructors are ready to help them gain confidence in their water skills.

Your Sunsational Swim teacher will come to the pool you select, wherever you are in the greater San Antonio area—without the time and hassle often required to get to crowded group lessons in another town.

Our swimming lessons in the San Antonio area are private, one-on-one classes that use gentle encouragement and sequential learning, allowing students to rapidly master the skills needed to be safe in and around the water. This is especially important for younger swimmers, who need to know how to avoid a fall into a pool, and how to turn around and get to the wall if they do wind up in the water.

Rather than spending money each month on crowded group swimming classes at the community pool, wondering if your child will ever learn to swim, you can watch them grasp key skills in a matter of weeks from the comfort of your own home. We back our methods with a Learn-to-Swim Guarantee for kids 3 and older: if your swimmer is unable to swim to the wall unassisted after the lesson package is completed, Sunsational will provide you with up to four extra sessions at no extra charge until they can.

Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in San Antonio

Our Focus: Water Safety

At Sunsational Swim, we focus on the student’s ability to recover from a fall into a pool by turning around and swimming back to the wall. Sunsational’s infant and toddler lessons aim to help even the youngest swimmers understand how to turn around and get to the side of the pool, if they accidentally fall in. Sunsational’s private swim lessons have enabled swimmers throughout San Antonio to escape danger, learning these critical water safety skills at home.

Scheduling at Your Convenience

You can’t beat the no-stress way of learning to swim in San Antonio: private swimming lessons scheduled when YOU want. Would you like back-to-back classes for multiple kids? Or is there an adult in the family that has finally decided to learn to swim, but needs lessons before or after work? You name the time, and our Sunsational Swim instructor will be there!

Individualized Lesson Planning

Our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee for swimmers ages 3 and older means that your child will be able to demonstrate our “Sunsational Safety Sequence” by the end of the lesson package —or we’ll provide up to four complimentary lessons until they can! Every swimmer is different, and we approach each student with a personalized learning plan that will give them the skills they need to be safe in the water.

Which Pool? You Decide!

From Helotes to Boerne, our Sunsational instructors provide lessons right in your backyard pool or at the community pool of your choice. There’s no need to spend valuable time and money driving to crowded lessons halfway across town.

Ms. Elizabeth was fabulous! I have two boys; 3 and 5. She was very patient and worked with each to teach strokes in a fun, age appropriate way. We have been very impressed with what the boys have picked up during the course of their lessons.

We have had tremendous success with Coach Morgan. My three children have made tremendous progress and genuinely love the water. My two year old wakes up every morning and excitedly asks, "Swim with Morgan today?" We have had a fantastic experience and highly recommend it!
