'Great experience with our instructor. She is easy to reach, flexible, on time, patient, fun and kind. Would highly recommend!' - Clarissa P.

Clarissa N.

When Victoria first started teaching our son to swim, he was very hesitant over the whole process (especially since she was an unfamiliar face). However, by the second lesson, she was able to build a rapport with our son that enabled him to be comfortable with her teaching methods. Over the course of the 12 lessons, we have observed our son become more comfortable with the water, and especially knowing when to hold his breath (and/or blow bubbles). By lessons 10 - 12, our son was already successfully swimming from her to the wall. Although not the prettiest strokes (our son just turned 3), they have been the most practical strokes as he is now able swim and reach the wall for safety. We feel that our son now has a solid foundation that he can build on to become an ever better swimmer. Thank you Victoria!

We just finished a 12 lesson package with Shawn. She is amazing!! She taught my 2 1/2 year old, and we couldn't be happier. Shawn is a natural with kids and a joy to have spent part of our summer with!

Coach Steel was patient, prepared and structured for each lesson with my 4 and 2 year old boys. They enjoyed each lesson and improved from the 1st to the last session.

Kim just completed giving my 9-month-old granddaughter her last 4 swim lessons. Her enthusiasm, experience, and knowledge instructing your children were apparent from the start. In the last lesson, my granddaughter's biggest accomplishment was climbing out of the pool from the steps! I will request her if we get more lessons next year

Judy D.

So thankful for Ms. Courtney! She is patient and kind and a great instructor. We would definitely use her again.

Alexandra S.

Tucker was absolutely AMAZING with our almost 3 year old. He took her from swimming with floaties to swimming proficiently around the pool, under the water and diving to get toys off the bottom in just 18 lessons. She loves him!! He was patience, gentle, reassuring and built trust with her but also pushed her just enough to achieve the growth and confidence we see in her now in the pool. Could not be happier with our investment.

Alexis was a great instructor for our toddler! We all know that it can be hard to get a two year old to focus, but she was great at being flexible and teaching him the skills he needed while he felt like he was having fun with me in the pool!

Glad to have found sunsational and our coach Lyn. She was so helpful and personable with our toddlers and baby!they learned tons from her. We will be rebooking once weather permits and request coach Lyn again.

Tina B.

Maryteresa was absolutely amazing. She taught my 2 year old how to swim and gave my 4 year old the much needed confidence he needed to continue learning more skills.

Katie N.

Simone was wonderful! Easy to communicate with. Easy to trust her with our 1 year old son. He loved lessons with her.

'Neely is so awesome! She's so easy to communicate with, and she's got this calm demeanor that relaxes my nervous (almost) 2 year old enough to get in the water with her. I'm a busy full time mom, student, and business owner and was struggling with balancing all that with swimming. I thought I could do it all! But that's not the case... the whole summer went by without me finding the time to teach my baby to swim. Summer is over but that's just enough time to get a month of lessons in, my biggest regret is not starting sooner! I say all this to say, JUST HIRE A PRIVATE COACH LIKE NEELY IF YOURE BUSY!! Your mental health will thank you for it and your child will learn invaluable life lessons that are just not smart to put off on the back burner. Neely arrives on time, ready to go and is extremely flexible around both my busy schedule and the wild Texas weather changes. I hope to have Neely around for a long time! So glad to have found Sunsational!' -Rachel C.

Amanda is GREAT. She has been patient with our toddlers and really understands their skillset. She really understands what each is capable of and tailors the lesson specifically to each one. LOVE HER!

My son was initially very attached to me but he quickly warmed up to Savannah. By the 3rd lesson he was waiting for her to come to the door because he was so excited to go swimming with her.

Deirdre M.

Megan is awesome! She has been super patient and sweet with my 18 month old son. She teaches in a way that is fun and memorable for him, and he is much more comfortable in the water. - Kristen Pineda

Kristen P.

'Michelle is amazing, my older daughter has tried 5 swim teachers, with no luck. Michelle is the perfect combo of firm and fun. And not only are my daughters making progress, but are LOVING swim. They ask every morning if it's a 'Mrs Michelle day?' Because they are SAD when they don't have swim. This is the biggest win. Thank you, Michelle!!

Samantha F.

Emily has been the absolute best!! She is so caring and has been extremely patient with our one year old. I would highly recommend Emily to any of my friends/family. Thank you, Emily for loving our Poppi! - Shellbi Wright

Shellbi P.

'We are very pleased with the results. Jason taught our daughter how to float, and how to propel forward with a kickboard while looking in the water. She is also no longer afraid of water splashing on her face.' ' Our adult daughter with DS can now float, put her face in the water, and propel herself using a kick-board without fear. Thank you Jason! Jason was patient, knowledgeable, and communicated with us what the expectations were from the start. We signed her up for only 6 lessons but were so impressed, we decided to enroll her for 6 more. We truly enjoyed watching our girl thrive through all 12 swimming lessons.' 'Choosing Sunsational Swim School was a given for us. The option of having the instructor come to our home and teach our daughter in our own pool was convenient. Jason was patient, and friendly. Our daughter is now able to float, put her face in the water, propel herself with a kick board, and lift herself on the side of the pool without steps. It is quite impressive to watch her. Thank you, Jason and Sunsational Swim School!!' Olga H.

Olga H.

We had a great experience with Shelby. She had a group of 3 15-18mo boys and kept them entertained the whole time. She had multiple games, songs and methods to get the boys comfortable in the water. I would highly recommend her and Sunsational

Brittany B.

We were so happy to find Sunsational Swim School and be able to have someone come to our house to teach our 3 year old grandson to swim. They picked the perfect instructor to meet our needs. Christina R understood how to work with a three year old by using songs and references from his favorite shows and characters. Our grandson did so well with the one on one lesson and is now able to swim to the side of the pool and get out on his own. Our goal for this summer was definetly accomplished.

Kelly H.

Emma is so sweet and caring and my toddler really likes her. I can tell she has a lot of experience with young children who arent very fond of water. She is punctual, easy to get ahold of and is also flexible with timings. Highly recommend

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Richardson 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.

I teach children of all ages and love getting to know my clients and their families. I was a lifeguard for many years, so I am comfortable with CPR and life-saving techniques. Raised in Jacksonville, Florida, I have been around the water my entire life. My goal is to make your child(ren) excited to be in the water while feeling confident in what to do in an emergency.

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 Richardson. 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 Richardson, 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 Richardson 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 Dallas, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Richardson 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 Richardson 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 Richardson, you do not need to have a pool to register for our lessons.

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 Richardson, 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.
