Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Winnetka

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 Winnetka swim lessons emphasize teaching kids to find the side of the pool, turn around, and swim to the side.

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).

Lorena is amazing with our 4-year-old. She has taught her how to swim and survive in just a few short weeks. She has been super flexible and accommodating with scheduling sessions. I am impressed by how she has taken a girl who was timid and apprehensive in the water to a water-loving mermaid. Our daughter calls Lorena her best friend. I highly recommend Lorena for your personal swim instructor!!

We could not be more pleased with Sunsational and our swim instructor, Debarati. From the very first lesson, my husband and I could see a noticeable difference in both our 5 and 3-year-olds demeanor towards swimming and getting their face wet. Both of our children could not swim in the beginning but within a few lessons, our 5-year-old was starting to swim on his own with supervision, happily dunking his head underwater and very excited about his progress. Our 3-year-old was extremely fearful of getting her face wet but Debarati was kind and patient but gave a gentle push and helped to give our daughter confidence in her abilities. Debarati was exceptional-professional, punctual, kind and we all really enjoyed working with her this summer!

Customer Review On facebook

Debarati was such a wonderful instructor for our 5 and 3 year old! We have had months of swim classes at another swim school with very little progress and within the first class, both kids were dipping their faces under water! By the end of our 12 lessons, our 5 year old is swimming independently and our 3 year old has greatly improved, as well. We all loved working with Debarati and would definitely recommend her and Sunsational!

Customer Review On customer lobby

We decided to do private back yard swim lessons for my 7 month old given that group classes were cancelled due to Covid. Sam our instructor has been amazing - we wear masks, she is so positive and informed and she is great with the baby helping to make swim time fun and get him comfortable in the water. She has also been super flexible and easy to work with! Highly recommend Sam!

Customer Review On yelp

Sam has been an incredibly patient and kind swim instructor for my 10-month-old boy. He's been eased into all the new lessons and really enjoys his time in the pool! I couldn't have asked for a better swim instructor!

Jennifer P on yelp

Nick has been very nice , professional and clever in teaching our 5 years old child Leonardo how to swim.

Eder, our instructor, is excellent. He makes it fun for our son and he doesn't even realize he is learning. Definitely a great person to have teaching our son a skill he will use for his entire life.

I would recommend Adaora to anyone who are looking for a swimming instructor. She always makes swimming lessons fun and easy. My children can swim after getting only a few lessons!
