5-star rated by parents and swimmers alike
Coach Zoe did a great job with our 3 year old son this summer. He was already used to the pool and able to swim pretty well for his age. By the end of our lesson plan, our son was swimming the entire length of the pool, both freestyle and backstroke. We are extremely happy we found sunsational swim school to help continue our son’s swim journey.

Hey there! My name is Gianna du-Long. A little about me is that I swam collegiately at the University of California Santa Cruz, where I received a bachelor's degree in communications, with a focus in creative writing (poetry) in 2024. Before I swam for UCSC, I swam for over 15 years year-round. I have experience managing and teaching lessons from toddlers to adults, with over 2 years of experience. Right now, I am currently volunteering as a crisis counselor, where I am working to pursue a career in 911 dispatching. Fun facts: I am extremely family-oriented, growing up with 3 siblings. I absolutely love animals and really do see myself living on an island surrounded by warm water! I just love the water so much!

Nicholas J.
Pleasant Hill, California 94523
Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hi, my name is Nicholas and I have been a swim instructor for the last 5 years! I love to work with kids and I fundamentally believe that water safety and swimming are foundational skillsets that all children should know to be not only safe but to have fun! I incorporate a lot of play based activities because I believe that a child who associates the pool with happy feelings will be much more inclined to try the harder and scarier things in the water. I grew up with a pool so I have been in and around the water for my entire life. This gives me practical experience being in the water and being able to assess where your kids are at and how to best help them succeed in what can be a scary environment!

In Antioch, our instructors teach year-round, so you can start lessons whenever you’re ready.
Our core service is providing private, at-home swim lessons. Your trained instructor travels to your home pool, community pool or aquatic facility anywhere in Antioch or across San Francisco. If you don't have a pool, our instructors are happy to meet you at any safe, local pool of your choosing. If using a facility pool, be sure to have authorization to have your Private Swim Lessons there.
Absolutely. Every Sunsational swim instructor is rigorously vetted with comprehensive background checks, is certified in CPR, and insured under our company insurance policy. All our instructors are carefully selected, experienced swim instructors vetted by our recruiting team. Many also have specialized experience working with infants, toddlers, special needs learners, or adults overcoming fear of water.

If you're not completely satisfied with your first lesson, just let us know, and we'll restart your lessons with a new instructor or refund your unused lessons, your choice.
For baby and some toddler lessons, parent participation is encouraged for building water comfort. For older children (typically ages 2+), parents are not specifically encouraged to be in the water, as our one-on-one private instruction is designed to build independence. However, we always require a responsible adult to be present on the premises for all lessons with minors. If you have specific preferences or concerns, our team is happy to accommodate them in your registration. We tailor each lesson to your comfort and goals.
