Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Tempe

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 Tempe 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 Tempe 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?

A few weeks ago we finished up our 12-lesson guaranteed swimmer package. My son, who is 3, made tremendous progress with his instructor, Janelle. When he started, he hated going underwater and didn't swim at all. After 12 lessons, Janelle produced us a little swimmer. He doesn't swim like the butterfly or breaststroke or anything, but he can float on his back, swim underwater, hold his breath, and jump off the side and swim back to the edge by himself. He has a blast in the pool, and more importantly, he learned some very key safety skills. Thanks, Janelle and Sunsational Swim School.

I can't say enough good things about our swim instructor, Janelle from
Sunsational Swim!! We had my grandson in your typical swim lessons for about 5 months before switching to Sunsational Swim. He was in the toddler class and upon turning 3 yrs he had to move to another instructor and Grandpa could not be in the water with him anymore. That is when we decided to look for other alternatives. Thank goodness for Janelle! My grandson is progressing wonderfully and Janelle has certainly won him over. He will go under the water, which he hated, and his confidence level is growing. He is really making progress so much faster now. With so many children drowning in back yard pools, teaching a child to swim is one of the most important things you can do for a child. Thanks again to Sunsational Swim and a special thumbs up to Janelle.

Tempe, AZ
Janelle was wonderful! She was flexible, patient and always on time. Both my girls (2.5 and 5) are much more confident in the water after swim lessons with Janelle. Not only did they learn new swimming skills but they had fun too. I would recommend Janelle as a swim teacher for anyone with young children.

Loved our instructor, Maddie! Enrollment and coordination was very easy. Once lessons began I only heard from Sunsational one additional time, which might not be ideal for some but I had no issues so not really a complaint. Love the skills chart! Wish there was a guide I could follow to know exactly what the instructor was supposed to cover but each student is different. My 2.5 took 12 lessons, and although she's very mature she still did not "learn" how to swim. I'm curious to know how the guarantee would work if she were 3 years old.

Sunsational Swim School was just what I was looking for. Because of our busy schedules, I was looking for 1:1 instruction at our home pool. So far, we have had four lessons for my four year old daughter and what a difference! I am so impressed with the swimming and safety skills she has learned already. Miss Janelle is an awesome instructor that can engage even small, distracted children to learn to swim.
