Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
There are not enough words to describe Heather Goldman. She's amazing! My husband and I are very pleased and wanted to share her love for swimming and knowledge to others who are looking for top-notch swim lessons.

Heather was able to teach our son at 5 yrs old and daughter at 3 years old to swim. Our son feared the water and our daughter was never in the pool without a floatie. Within one week they were both swimming and love to show everyone what they have learned. From our son swimming across the pool in deep water, jumping, getting rings to diving and our daughter mastering the backfloat and becoming a strong little swimmer. Heather treats our pool as their oasis. She connects their whole being into the water. Heather has built a confidence in them they never knew prior to meeting her. Both of our kids trust her and have come to love her as family. My husband and I have learned so much being in the lessons with each of them too. We highly recommend Heather Goldman to be your child's swimming instructor. She is truly the best of the best!

Caitlyn was everything we'd hope for in a swim instructor. Most important of all my son went from being a brick in the water to knowing how to swim in less than two weeks. My daughter who had been to swimming camp a year earlier, developed bad habits which Caitlyn corrected. Both my children loved their time with her and she was a pleasure to interact with. Recommend 100%.

Thankfully they sent me Caitlin and I have to tell you she is a Godsend! Patient soothing kind and an amazing teacher. I have always been afraid of water and she has taken me out of that mindset with compassion and today I actually swam across the pool all the way to the 7 foot end and back! I could not even imagine this had it not been for Caitlin! She is the absolute best! That is why I am giving HER a fiver star review!!!

AMAZING Experience!

My two children took swim lessons at a YMCA for a season. Despite taking them to swim lessons every Saturday and practicing with them regularly, they never even came close to swimming! Both my children were scared to death to go near the water without their floaties! After taking a SINGLE lesson with Deven from Sunsational Swim School, my six year old was swimming on his own. ONE HALF HOUR LESSON! The instruction was SO different from what we had at the YMCA! Deven is an amazing instructor. After just six lessons, my six year old is confidently jumping into the deep end of the pool and can swim across the width of the pool with no hesitation. After six lessons, my freshly four year old is beginning to swim and will confidently dive down under water. Deven was so patient and the kids. I was blown away by the clear instructions and patient, direct instructions. I am in shock! After just six lessons, I have two little swimmers!!!

We could not be happier with our instructor Jacques. Our 4 year old wanted nothing to do with swimming last summer and his first lesson with Jacques was like watching a completely different boy. Our son was comfortable with Jacques right away and is always so excited for his next lesson. Only after a couple of lessons our son has made so much progress and we truly owe it to our instructor. He is always on time, so professional and so so friendly. He is absolutely fabulous, thank you, Jacques!!

We signed up for swim lessons through the school. They assigned Jacques to teach my 1-year-old. We're doing private lessons at the house and I'm happy with how everything is going. My son is learning and having fun! I am a self-thought swimmer but wanted my child to learn pool safety the best way possible. Thank you, Jacques, we appreciate having you as our swim instructor!

Jacques with Sunsational did a great job teaching our four year old twins to swim better. We had tried teaching them on our own but weren't making much progress. He was very patient with our more afraid child and she made progress and our more brave child made even more progress. He worked with us on times and rescheduled when our kids were too sick. He was always on time. He did a great job.

Our swim instructor Jacques was amazing! We signed up for 12 30 minute sessions for our 4 year old. By lesson 2 we already saw tremendous improvement, and by the end our 4 year olds confidence and ability far exceeded my expectations. Jacques was patient warm and professional throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend him to any one in need of swim lessons.

Hi, my name is Kammeryn. I've been a lifeguard for 3 years now and have done quite a bit of side work teaching swimming. I started at 14 in a volunteer position with kids ages 2-10, then worked my way to becoming a swim coach working with ages 2-18, and then during the year I worked at my local recreation center teaching infants just months old to adults over 18. I swam competitively for 7 years and enjoyed it so much so hopefully I can extend my love of swimming and knowledge to others.

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 West Hills, CA and surrounding areas.

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.
