Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in San Juan Capistrano

Our Priority Is Water Safety

The majority of child drownings happen when they are unable to safely exit the water after a fall into the water. For this reason, our San Juan Capistrano swim lessons emphasize teaching kids to find the side of the pool, turn around, and swim to the side.

Scheduling at Your Convenience

Want to plan your infant?s lessons before lunchtime? Definitely! What about an evening session for a reluctant adult that?s always wanted to learn to swim? We can do that! The time of day that best fits your busy life is a great time for a Sunsational Swim lesson.

Lesson Plans Unique to You

Our teachers use gentle encouragement and a progressive approach to plan lessons to meet each swimmer?s unique needs and rapidly learn the skills needed to be safer in and around the water. We?ve seen such consistent results with our program that we offer a Learn-to-Swim Guarantee package for ages 3 and up (infant and toddler lessons excluded).

You Choose the Pool

Your life often feels like it?s on fast-forward, right? Who wants to drive across San Juan Capistrano in order to get to overfilled swimming lessons when a Sunsational Swim teacher can bring a private swim class to your home or favorite local pool?

Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
My 6-year-old daughter started lessons with Doreen 3 weeks ago and we could not be happier with the results! Before she started, our daughter wouldn't submerge her head or swim in the deep end, let alone swim all 4 actual strokes. As of her 12th lesson (3 weeks later) she is jumping in, diving to the bottom of the pool, and has informally learned all 4 strokes!! Doreen has been amazing and our daughter looked forward to having her lesson every day! Best experience ever and money well spent! I highly recommend Doreen and Sunsational Swim School!

We signed out 6 years old up for lessons 3 weeks ago. We've had 4 lessons per week with Miss Doreen and couldn't be happier! Our daughter started lessons scared to dunk her head underwater and not wanting to swim in the deep end. Today, she's diving to the bottom of the pool all on her own and swimming in the deep end.

We started lessons back up this year 2020 and Sunsational swim school has paired us up with another great instructor. Lessons are going great! Alex A is a fantastic teacher and my son really loves working with her. She is always on time and has a great attitude. She finds ways to keep it fun for him so he stays engaged. She is fantastic. My son is only 3 1/2 and he swims pretty great for his age and I feel safe having him in the water. 2019 We have had lessons with Jennifer Le now for the past few months twiceand she is fantastic. My 2 1/2-year-old has had lessons before but he has excelled so much just in the past month with her. He was very difficult to work with in the beginning with crying and not wanting to swim but she was able to get him to swim and have fun. She was very open in switching days if that needed to be done and getting make up classes set up. Having swim lessons at my home is such an amazing convenience.

Yorba Linda, CA
Before we moved to our pool home, my kids were afraid to swim and insisted that they "don't need to know how to swim." Obviously that would not fly. I put my kids in a public lesson last summer and they didn't learn anything, so I looked for private lessons and found this company on yelp. I chose the 12 class guarantee to swim even though the guarantee is if you fall in, you will be able to turn around and grab the wall (not technically swimming) BUT at lesson 8 of 13 (promo code bonus) now my kids (7& 9) are going underwater, jumping in the deep end, swimming around, and learning different strokes. After paying, I complained to my mom how expensive it was and she said it will be the best investment I ever make and she was right! I can only imagine from this point on they will start to become better, stronger swimmers. Our swim instructor is Alexandra and I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is willing to also push their kids to do their best.

Miss Alex is phenomenal with kids! We are so glad to have chosen Sunsational for our lessons. Well worth every penny for private lessons, they have so much fun they don't realize how much they are learning. Her patience is unbelievable with our sometimes squirrelly little chatty one! We were matched up perfectly.

Kristen has been incredible and we are very happy with the lessons we are receiving. I'm especially impressed with how she has helped my 5 year old put his head under water - something he has never liked doing!

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 San Juan Capistrano, CA and surrounding areas.

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.

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.
