Why are teen swimming lessons so important?
Some teens may feel embarrassed about learning to swim. That’s why private swim lessons are so effective—no audience, no pressure, just one-on-one guidance from a skilled instructor focused on helping your teen succeed.
And yet, Water safety is a life skill that should not be delayed. The sooner they start with a private swim instructor, the better prepared they’ll be for pool parties, beach trips, or water parks.
Why are teen swimming lessons so important?
For teens who already have a grasp of swimming basics, formal swimming lessons can provide a perfect way to go from a beginner swimmer to swim team-ready.
Intermediate private lessons will usually include developing the  mechanics of the various competitive strokes; freestyle (or front crawl), backstroke, butterfly, and breaststroke. For a teen looking to join a swim team, a working knowledge of these strokes is a must.
While a teen will learn how to do these swimming strokes from a swim team coach, private swim lessons ensure that a swimmer has a strong grasp on proper stroke form. Intermediate lessons for teens can also include introductions to other competitive swim skills, such as diving, flip turns, breathing technique, treading water and underwater streamline work.
Advanced and competitive swimmers benefit from private lessons too
Even experienced swimmers can benefit from teen swim lessons near me. Private lessons provide focused, one-on-one coaching to help competitive swimmers refine their technique and improve performance. With a dedicated private swim instructor, teens can target specific skills like hand pulls, kicks, and stroke timing. Advanced techniques such as relay starts, backstroke starts, diving skills, and flip turns can also be practiced and perfected.
Teen lessons have always been my favorite to teach. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to teach teens at almost every level: beginners learning how to swim, teens enrolled in the GuardStart program, competitive swimmers on swim teams, and everything in between. Most of my work with teens has been with non-swimmer beginners looking to gain the fundamental basics of swimming. This has included teens who were terrified of water as well as teens who simply hadn’t yet had the opportunity to learn how to swim.

Timothy S.
Coach Tim was personable, very engaging with my children, timely, and progressed them along nicely. - Gilbert P.
Charis D.
Charis has been amazing!!! Our 3 year old is swimming! Not only has she given her the tools to swim on her own but she was very great at handling our stubborn 3 year old when she was not wanting to participate in the lesson. She was able to come up with creative ways to get her back on track and make it fun for her. Charis was always on time, professional, and very good at communicating with me. I am so happy with the entire experience!- Heather J.
Cynthia M.
Cynthia is very accommodating with my schedule. She is a very patient teacher, very effective, observant, but also pushes me to learn new things. She broke my 38 year phobia of the deep end. She is an excellent teacher and highly recommended. She always gives constructive feedback while also giving praise. -Nezza R.

Nicole did a great job with our kids! We would highly recommend her! - Elizabeth G.

Alexis is awesome!! Our two-year-old is having fun in the water and floating. While our four year old is swimming, floating and retrieving toys from the bottom. All after only 7 lessons! Can’t wait to see where they’re at after we finish with the program!!- Erin W.

wendy m.
Wendy, our swim instructor is awesome. She is able to work well and teach my 3 year old autistic son. He has learned how to get in and out of pool, get his face wet, blow bubbles, and not freak out if he gets his whole head wet. Now he is learning how to doggie paddle. Our main concern is water safety and we are well on our way to achieving that goal. Wendy is flexible and accommodating to my son's needs. We are very pleased with Wendy and would recommend her as a swim instructor. -Ruth B.

Our experience with Sunsational has been phenomenal! Our swim instructor Ms.Jenny has been extremely accommodating and accessible. My 2 little ones (6 & 2) have bonded with her so easily and look forward to every lesson! I have seen technique improvement with my eldest and increased confidence in the water with my youngest. It’s been great. - Hansia B.
