We feel so lucky to have found Samantha G through Sunsational Swim School! She has been teaching both my 2-year-old and 4-year-old, and the experience has been incredible from day one. Before Samantha, we tried other swim schools, but the instructors just couldn't connect with toddlers the way she does. Samantha has a true gift with young children - bringing toys into the pool, singing songs with them, and making the kids feel at ease in the water from day 1. Not only do they adore her, but we've seen so much progress in their skills and confidence in the water. She balances fun and learning perfectly. Sam is always on time and has been super flexible when we've had to adjust our schedule. If you're a parent of toddlers looking for a swim instructor who is patient, engaging, dependable, and truly special with little ones, I can't recommend Samantha highly enough. After my 4-year-old's second lesson, he said, "I think Sam is my best friend." :-) We can't recommend her enough!

We feel so lucky to have found Samantha G! She has been teaching my 2 year old and 4 year old, and has been incredible since day 1. Before Sam, we tried other swim instructors, but my kids didn't connect and we had trouble getting them in the water.<br /><br />Sam changed things for my kids - she has a gift and made them feel at ease in the water from day 1 - singing songs, bringing toys in the water, and making it fun while teaching them how to swim. We've seen so much progress with both kids in just 10 lessons.<br /><br />She's also always on time and has been super flexible every time we've asked to adjust the schedule.<br /><br />She's patient, engaging, dependable, and so good with toddlers. Can't recommend her highly enough! After our 2nd lesson, my 4 year old said "I think Sam is my best friend!"

Aaron is enthusiastic, sincere and professional and really knows how to work with babies and strong willed toddlers. I was impressed with how he immediately made any play that Roman wanted to do into an effective teaching moment. Both boys are excited in the water and practicing the skills Aaron taught them.

Cheyenne was a wonderful instructor! She was super patient with my 3 and 1 year olds and the kids warmed up to her right away. My 3 year old went from being terrified of putting her head in the water to swimming across the pool. Cheyenne never pressured the kids to do something they were scared of but rather was super encouraging and made it fun.

Sarah was instrumental in helping my 16 month old learn to hold her breathe and swim. She made my daughter feel comfortable and weaved in fun play to keep my daughter engaged. Being that she’s 16 months we will have to consistently practice her new learned skills to improve on them but without Sarah we wouldn’t be where we are today. She also helped her learn to kick and crab crawl for safety. I highly recommend Sarah.

'We have a one year old and we want to make sure he won’t be in danger if he’s ever suddenly in deep water. Sanjina came to our home to help us teach him and In the first session we already had a lot of information on safety precautions when teaching a very small child. We feel much more confident on how to practice floating and healing him to feel confident holding his breath longer, grabbing the edge of the pool etc. She’s a great teacher and we will take classes with her again.' - Natalie Taylor

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Maywood parents wonder if their baby is too young to start learning to swim. They think babies will eventually learn the skills on their own, or that the skill isn’t necessary. Here’s why starting lessons early is a smart choice:

Water safety starts early

Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children under four. Babies are naturally curious, which is why baby swimming lessons make so much sense. An awareness of the water, and water safety skills, could very well save your child’s life one day.

Decreased risk of drowning

It’s not always possible to watch your child every second, and water is often part of everyday life—from bathtubs and backyard pools to beaches, splash pads, and family outings. Young children can be at risk around even small amounts of water, especially infants & toddlers under 5. Swimming lessons can help children build comfort in the water and begin developing important water safety skills as part of a broader approach to drowning prevention.

Encourages social interaction

Swimming and playing in the pool with parents and other babies helps boost babies' social development.  Babies learn through shared experiences, laughter, and engaging in activities together. Your child shouldn't have to skip these character-forming moments due to a fear of the water or because you simply haven't found the time for swim lessons.

Builds their strength

For babies, swimming helps strengthen their muscles, improve coordination, and enhance their motor skills – all without any unnecessary stress on joints. Plus, the water’s resistance provides a full-body workout, even for the tiniest of swimmers. Swimming may even help learn to walk sooner thanks to better muscle control.

Lifelong skill that starts early

Swimming is a skill for life. Providing your baby with swimming lessons opens up a whole new arena of fun and fitness that they can participate in all their lives. If you don't know how to swim, consider taking a parent and baby swim class together or taking adult swim lessons on your own. Create core memories in the water, together!

How parent and baby swim lessons help build confidence around the water

Babies as young as six months old benefit from pool time in the arms of a trusted adult. Infant swim lessons allow your child to enjoy the water before they have a chance to learn fear. Positive pool experiences help babies remain calm so they can progress to learn effective water navigation skills such as kicking and back floats.

How parent and baby swim lessons help image
75%of children who drown were out of sight for five minutes or less
9 out of 10drowning deaths occur while an adult is present

The benefits of swim lessons extend beyond the pool. The sensory and motor stimulation resulting from pool time creates new neurons that positively impact confidence and even intelligence. Bilateral movements, or using both sides of the body, help increase the connections between the two hemispheres of the brain, which will later help with skills like language development, spatial awareness and reading.

How to prepare your baby for swim lessons

Not ready for a formal class yet? Start at home! Simple activities in the bathtub, like gently pouring water over your baby’s head, introducing words like “kick” and “splash”, or laying them on their back in shallow water, can help them feel comfortable in the water before their first lesson.


When you’re ready for the pool, help your baby be successful with these tips:

  • 1
    Feed them at least 30 minutes before a lesson to prevent tummy discomfort
  • 2
    Pack essentials like swim diapers, towels, dry clothes, and fresh diapers
  • 3
    Arrive early so you have time to get ready
  • 4
    Ease into the water to keep the experience positive

Water safety is always the number one priority

Even the most comprehensive water training program isn’t enough to drown-proof your child. Babies should always be within arm’s reach in the water, and children should never swim unsupervised. The goal of baby swim lessons is to help build comfort in the water and introduce foundational water safety skills, which may help reduce the chance of accidental drowning as part of a broader approach to water safety. This includes active supervision, pool fences and barriers, alarms, and other safety measures, but risk can never be eliminated completely. Even if your little one was the star of the class, it’s important to remain vigilant with supervision to help ensure positive and safe experiences in and around the water for years to come.

Hi, Im Ellis Cho, and Im currently a rising senior at USC studying Business. I have been involved in club swimming and water polo since May 2018, have been a lifeguard since May 2021, and have been a private swim instructor. I also enjoy playing piano, reading, and working out. I look forward to helping your kids get comfortable in the water and teaching them to enjoy aquatics as much as I do!

Hiiii! My name is Esmeralda, Esme for short, and I have been teaching swimming since February 2022. I work with students of all ages, starting from 3 months up. I have worked with children for a total of 5 years now. From babysitting to tutoring and coaching different sports, I am currently studying to become a behavioral therapist for children with special needs. I love teaching because I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment and seeing my students succeed and excel in a skill that they will carry on for a lifetime.

Hi! Im Jojo. A swim instructor with over 10 years of experience! I learned how to swim at age 3 and started teaching at 19, beginning my journey at Waterworks Swim School. I also taught at Lenny Krayzelburg Swim Academy and as a private instructor. I studied Early Childhood Development and kinesiology swimming, which helps me teach kids in a fun, patient, and easy-to-understand way. I love connecting with kids and making lessons enjoyable. While we have lots of fun, Im very serious about water safetymaking sure every child knows how to stay safe in and around water is always my top priority. Im excited to help your little ones build confidence, lifelong skills, and a love for swimming!

Sunsational Vetted Since 2025

Hello! Im Emani. I have spent about half of my life in the water. I was a competitive swimmer from age 6 to 19, with a few random water activities such as synchronized swimming and diving. While Ill work at your pace, dont be afraid to push yourself a little because I will (never anything too major, though). I have taught swimming to students aged 6 months to adults, including those with special needs. Im also a bit of a songbird, so young ones definitely stay entertained even during the most boring or challenging obstacles. Lastly, I would like to mention that outside of being a swim instructor, Im a current student at CSUDH studying elementary education. I hope to meet you all very soon!

No. Sunsational Swim School’s infant swim lessons are based on a child-centered and caring approach that focuses on building trust and rapport with the instructor and wonderment and respect of the water. When designing your baby’s swim lesson plan, our instructors consider all aspects of the well-being of your baby, including physical and emotional. Your swim instructor will create a safe environment for your baby to learn water-safety skills that include back floating, roll over breathing, “swim-float-swim”, the monkey crawl, and what to do after a fall into the pool. All of these skills are taught in a way that’s both fun and educational, using games, repetition, and even songs, at a pace that’s healthy for your little one.

Yes! Sunsational specializes in private, at-home baby swimming lessons, where our instructors come directly to your pool or community facility in Maywood. It’s the easiest way for your baby to learn in a calm, familiar setting.

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 Maywood, our instructors teach year-round, so you can start lessons whenever you’re ready.

Every child is unique and develops at their own pace. Physical and emotional readiness, motor skills and willingness all play a role in the pace your baby learns. However, the most common and most influential factors in the student’s learning pace we find is repetition and consistency. We recommend our baby students take 3 lessons per week for maximum skill retention and fast progression. Most of our students make significant progress within 12 to 18 lessons in our baby swim classes.

Yes. Swimming is not only defined as the four major swim strokes, but the ability to propel through the water. Your baby can learn how to use their little limbs, breathing and sense of direction to deliberately move from point a to b in the water, once they start walking. These skill sets are learned in a progressive manner and each child learns at a different pace. Our infant swim lesson teachers are experienced in coaching your baby to learn these skills in a fun, encouraging, and accelerated way. Even if your baby is not ready to swim, we'll work on swim and safety skills like blowing bubbles (breath control), kicking, rolling over onto our back and floating.

Your baby’s first swim lesson is designed to be gentle, fun, and completely pressure-free. The goal isn’t to make your baby swim right away—it’s to help them feel safe, happy, and relaxed in the water. Tears on the first day are not unexpected!

Your Sunsational instructor will start by introducing your baby to the pool gradually: gentle splashing, floating with support, and playful water exploration. Parents or caregivers are always encouraged to be present.

Most Maywood parents begin lessons around 6 months old, when babies can comfortably hold their heads up and start exploring the water. Babies who have early exposure to swim lessons and the water are proven to have reduced anxieties and emotional obstacles learning how to swim. The water at this age is a familiar place as it’s similar to floating in the womb. Sunsational’s certified instructors offer private, at-home baby swimming lessons throughout Los Angeles, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Maywood is certified in CPR and insured under our company liability insurance policy. What's more, every Sunsational Swim instructor has previous teaching experience, and most have at least of 2 seasons of professional aquatic experience. We emphasize comfort, floating, and water awareness—always at your baby’s pace.

Every child learns differently, but with consistent, one-on-one instruction, most Maywood infants begin floating and showing swim readiness within our 12 or 18 lesson package. Sunsational’s personalized approach—taught in your own pool—helps babies progress faster than in group lessons. We find that the most common and most influential factors in the student’s learning pace are repetition and consistency. To that end, we recommend our baby students take 3 lessons per week for maximum skill retention and fast progression.

While we specialize in private, at-home infant swim classes in Maywood, you do not need to have a pool to register for our lessons. Our infant swim teachers near you can meet you at any pool of your choice in Los Angeles. In some areas, we even have some swim instructors who can provide a pool for your lessons. To find out if we have instructors with pool access in your specific area, you can begin a registration here

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. You'll receive a detailed instructor profile with experience, certifications, and reviews. If you'd like to request a specific instructor in Maywood, we'll do our best to accommodate. But rest assured that we stand behind each of our swim instructors and selections with our Satisfaction Guarantee.

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.
