Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Tampa

Our Priority Is Water Safety

Because most drownings happen when a child is unable to exit the water safely after a fall into the pool, our Tampa swim lessons focus on teaching kids to find the side of the pool, turn around, and swim to the wall.

Scheduling at Your Convenience

Want to schedule a toddler lesson before naptime? Absolutely! How about an afternoon class for an adult that’s been afraid of the water for years? Yes! Whatever timeframe fits your schedule is a perfect time for a Sunsational Swim lesson.

Lesson Plans Unique to You

No two swimmers are the same, so our teachers use a gentle, progressive approach to help every swimmer overcome any fears of the water and quickly learn the skills needed to be safe. We’re so confident in our approach that we offer our exclusive Learn-to-Swim Guarantee package for ages 3 and up (infant and toddler lessons excluded).

You Choose the Pool

You’ve got a busy life! Who needs to drive across Tampa to crowded swimming lessons when a Sunsational Swim instructor can bring a private swim class to your home or favorite community pool?

My 9 year old was afraid of water and we couldn't get him to learn swimming with 2 other schools. He has been learning swimming from Jennifer and within 10 days, he has completely transformed and loves water/swimming now. We can't thank you enough for the same

Lauren is a wonderful swimming instructor. She is patient and kind and has made the lessons fun for my 4 year old son. After taking 12 lessons my son can swim underwater, float and swim above water. I did the class Monday - Thursday.

Javed was excellent with my 2 year old twins! They were afraid of the water and by the end of the session they were very comfortable and able to put their heads under without screaming. He was really kind and patient. I definitely recommend Javed and Sunsational Swim

My daughter's instructor Robin is wonderful, I cannot say enough about how much fun it is for my daughter to learn to swim. Sunsational Swim School offers a great and very convenient program.

Kirk has been great with our 2.5 yo son. He's so patient and really understands what it takes to communicate with a child his age. It's been a great experience to watch my son learn and experience new things in the water with his instructor.

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 Tampa, FL 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 Tampa pools near you: Bobby Hicks Pool Copeland Pool Roy Jenkins 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 Tampa, FL 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.
