Madisen was a fantastic teacher for our 2 and 3 year old boys; their progress was amazing! We feel so much safer around the water and their confidence has made being in pool so fun. They can’t wait to show us what they learned. I would love to have her come back next year. - Tracy Rhoades

We are having such a wonderful experience with Miss Mychaela. It's so convenient to have her come to our house for swim lessons. Our daughter is almost 3 years old and this is the first lessons she has had. She was a little nervous at first, getting used to a new person, but now she is excited for lessons and loves Mychaela. She is progressing nicely and we look forward to more lessons in the future!

Jen is a great swim instructor. She is very patient, helpful and gentle with our toddler. Her approach helped our son go from being terrified in the water to jumping in the pool with confidence. Our little guy enjoys and looks forward to his swim lessons every week.

Stephanie did private lessons for our sweet 12 month old baby for 4 weeks and she did a truly incredible job. She worked with us 3 days a week for an hour each day (30 mins with my baby, then 30 mins with our friend’s 13 month old baby).<br /><br />She did great helping both of our boys get comfortable in the water, she brought toys to keep them engaged as they learned the basics (blowing bubbles, kicking with assistance, floating on their back with assistance, going under water, and learning the mechanics to get to the edge of the pool and get out). I always felt comfortable with her approach and emphasis on safety and developing a positive association with the water. She was also patient and warm allowing the boys to get acclimated to her. She is a delight to work with, and I’d 100% recommend her!<br /><br />It’s realistic to assume for a baby of our age that they won’t be fully independent by the end of 1 month but my boy is well on his way and he made a lot of progress this month! I really appreciated Stephanie’s attitude and flexibility and always went out of her way to work with us and make it just a great experience!

Got questions?

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

We are so confident in our private, one-on-one instruction that we offer a Learn-to-Swim Guarantee for all students ages 3 and up!* We guarantee your child will be able to resurface, turn around, swim back to the edge of the pool and grab the wall unassisted after they complete their Learn to Swim Guaranteed package. If your child completes their lesson package and hasn't achieved the agreed-upon milestones, we'll work with you to provide up to 4 additional lessons at no extra cost until they do. This program is our commitment to building a foundation of safety and confidence for your child in the water.

Our pricing is transparent and based on the swim lesson package you choose. Packages are available in 6, 12 and 18 lessons with options for 30-minute, 60-minute or longer sessions for multiple students back-to-back. Every package includes a certified, background-checked instructor who comes to your home or preferred pool. Because lessons are private and personalized, you’ll see faster progress and greater value compared to group classes. Start a registration to build a package and see an exact, no-hassle price on options best for your goals and budget.

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 Paradise Valley Village, 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 Paradise Valley Village 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. 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 Paradise Valley Village, where backyard pools, HOA pools 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. You'll receive a detailed instructor profile with experience, certifications, and reviews. If you'd like to request a specific instructor in Paradise Valley Village, 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.

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.
