Hi, Im Hannah! I have successfully taught over 50 children and infants how to swim! I have worked with children since I was a teenager, and I am now a professional nanny and have been full-time since November 2020. Prior to becoming a nanny, I provided special needs care for individuals aged 2 to 21. I LOVE what I do and enjoy watching everyone learn and grow. I enjoy swimming and being in the water as well, so I decided to try swim instruction and fell in love with it! I am a kind and gentle instructor and love to make learning to swim a fun and positive experience.

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hello, my name is Griffin, a swim instructor since August 2019. Ever since I can remember, swimming has been a big part of my life and one of my passions. Over the course of my time as a swim instructor, I have worked with all ages, starting at six months and going all the way to ninety-five years old. One of the most important parts about teaching is taking each lesson at the individual's own pace. While still reaching their goals. Seeing the progress is a great joy for me and is the reason I teach. I look forward to working with you!

I have been swimming since before I can remember. I joined the swim team when I was 7 and competed through high school. My first teaching experience was on family vacations when I would teach the other kids in the pool how to swim so they could play with me. During summers in college, I worked at summer camps teaching swimming. Now I work primarily as a music teacher. I have been professionally teaching students of all ages since February 2005. I would love to teach you or your child how to be safe in the water, learn basic swimming, or even perfect strokes that you already know to become a better swimmer.

Hello! I am Emiliano and I have worked as a swim instructor and a lifeguard. I have worked with a higher concentration of kids aged 2-6 but have had a full array from 6 months all the way up to 40+ years old. I have worked with kids on the spectrum and have experience catering to individual needs to ensure each kid gets a full experience. One of my top priorities is ensuring good habits with the water while focusing on technique for higher ages. All of this while being lighthearted and fun among other teaching techniques that thoroughly consider the psychology and learning patters of each kid I have. My sister has been my biggest teacher in creating patience and keeping a cool head no matter the task at hand when teaching.

Swimming has been the biggest and most consistent part of my life. I started swimming competitiely at 7 and eventually became a swim instructor and lifeguard at 14 at my team pool. I've taught all ages from infants up to grandparents of all leves starting with water safety up to stroke technique and swim team coaching. I moved to Orlando in 2019 to lifeguard at Disney World and eventually Universal and now currently am a Montessori preschool teacher ontop of teaching swim lessons.

We have answers. What makes private lessons better than group classes?

Every package includes a certified, background-checked instructor who comes to your home or preferred pool.

We make scheduling easy. Morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend lessons are avaialble 6AM-8PM to fit your family’s lifestyle. You choose the days, times and number of lessons per week that works for you. Because all lessons are private, scheduling is completely flexible and can be adjusted for vacations or weather. In Gotha, 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 Gotha or across Central Florida. 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. In Gotha, where backyard pools, community pools, springs make swimming skills essential, you can trust that your instructor is not only qualified but passionate about building water confidence and safety in every student.
We understand if you're concerned about selecting the right swim instructor for your lessons, because we are too! Our full-time, dedicated matching team carefully reviews your registration and hand selects a swim instructor for your lessons based on your swimmer's age, goals and your schedule.

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.
