Ben has been fantastic all summer. He's always on time, in a great mood, and well-prepared. It's not easy to manage three toddlers in a pool, but he does an amazing job and develops his lessons to meet their needs and teach them new skills. Great job!

Lizzy does a great job keeping my 2 year old interested and engaged during his lesson. She also interacts with his brother and sister and let's them interact in the lessons which help him stay focused as well. My son looks forward to lessons and is doing great great using his 'scoops'. I highly recommend Lizzy if you are in the Chandler/Gilbert area

We live in Arizona and had the pleasure of having Gloria. She was so patient and kind with our son! He has improved so much with his confidence in water. Having someone come to our own backyard to teach was a bonus! Definitely recommend Sunsational Swim school!

Ellyn has been a great swim instructor for our children. She is patient with our toddlers and doesn't give up when they are hesitant to try something new. Our children are now more comfortable in the water and learning how to swim back to the step for safety or pull themselves

Sarah has been amazing so far with my 2 year old son. We are 5 lessons in and I’ve seen huge improvement so far. Sarah has been very patient, professional, and the best part is that he is comfortable with her. It’s such a great experience having her able to come to our home and do lessons in our own pool. I would refer anyone to Sarah and Sunsational Swim School.

'We were introduced to our instructor Noelle and my daughter has loved the pool ever since! Noelle is patient and kind, and in just a few sessions has helped my daughter's confidence flourish in the water. Her focus on safety helped ease my mind about swim lessons for my toddler and her outgoing personality has made learning so much fun for my little one. I could not have asked for a better instructor!'Fallon B.

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 Sun Lakes, 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 Sun Lakes 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 Sun Lakes, 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 Sun Lakes, 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.

While we are confident in our rigorous selection process (all instructors are background-checked and CPR-certified), we want you to have the perfect match. 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.
