Kali the instructor that Sunsational Swim School matched us with has been amazing. Kali has been a great instructor to our kids. She has been so understanding of the needs of our kids to help them be more safe around water. They have progressed rapidly with her instruction.

Im a 22-year-old recent graduate. Ive taught kids how to swim since February 2022; one year was with a company in San Diego.

Ready to feel confident in the water? With 12+ years of lifeguarding experience, plus years of teaching both children and adults how to swim (and even training future lifeguards!), Ive learned that every swimmer is different. There isnt a one-size-fits-all approach, which is why I personalize every lesson to match your goals, comfort level, and learning style. My goal is to make swimming safe, fun, and confidence building, whether youre taking your very first lesson, overcoming a fear of the water, or wanting to improve your skills. When Im not in the water, youll probably find me surfing, in the ocean, grabbing a great cup of coffee, or chasing my next adventure. I cant wait to meet you!

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 Central Scottsdale or across Phoenix Metro. If you don't have a pool, our instructors are happy to meet you at any safe, local pool of your choosing.

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.
