Why our students and parents love us!
5-star rated by parents and swimmers alike
I highly recommend Ayla at Sunsational Swim School! She has been absolutely incredible with our 5-year-old. Before working with her, we had done swimming lessons on and off for 3.5 years, and he still wouldn't even put his head under the water. After just two months with Ayla, he is a completely different kid in the pool. He is now confidently swimming both above and below the water and truly swims like a little fish!<br /><br />Ayla was exactly the instructor he needed. She has the perfect balance of being firm and encouraging while still compassionate, patient, and fun. She knew when to push him outside of his comfort zone without making him feel scared or overwhelmed, and his confidence absolutely took off because of it.<br /><br />Watching him go from being afraid to put his face in the water to genuinely loving swimming has been amazing. We are so grateful we found Ayla and would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a private swim instructor. She is truly fantastic at what she does!

Sunsational Vetted Since 2024
I am an adult swimmer who learned to swim later in life. I not only enjoy the sport but also want to ensure swimmers of all ages are comfortable in and around all types of bodies of water. As a "later in life" swimmer, I understand the importance of the skill. I swim regularly and compete in various open-water swim events throughout the summer. My experience with teaching ranges from students 6 months through adults. Each swimmer learns differently, and I know that the fundamentals need to be taught, but how they are taught will vary.

Stonecrest, Georgia 30038
Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hello, my name is Brooklyn. My swimming journey began when I was five years old, when I learned to swim at a community pool. At 12 years old, I became a junior lifeguard, which helped me develop strong water safety skills and a sense of responsibility. In 2020, I joined a competitive swim team, where I continued to improve my swimming abilities. What makes me a good swim instructor is my ability to understand the fear that many children have around water. I focus on creating a safe, supportive environment where swimmers can build confidence and overcome their fears. I also encourage my students to challenge themselves and continue improving their skills.
