5-star rated by parents and swimmers alike

Javier is doing a great job with our boys every lesson! He doesn't give up and he's so friendly and accommodating!

Hannah L.

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.

Kacey J.

'I highly recommend this service. My granddaughter loves the pool in part due to the techniques she was exposed to by Shelby Gore at Sunsational Swim School.' Rachel Leyba 501125

Natalie is a wonderful swim instructor, and this has been the best experience we have had with swim lessons for our toddler.

KENDRA G.

Kendra is great with my 3 year old! She's extremely patient and flexible during lessons even when my son doesn't want any part of a swim lesson.

Chi N.

We have loved our lessons with Ms. Aubrie! She has been with my 2 girls for the summer and her patience and calm demeanor has helped my girls gain confidence and skills in the water each week!!

Jacqueline K.

Javier is so flexible with his hours and really works with our schedule. He is very patient with our 2 year old son. He makes it very interactive by singing songs and playing games in the pool. Would recommend him to all parents with young children.

Cristal B.

Rebeka is so incredible, I am extremely happy with the swim lessons she provides! She makes my daughter feel so comfortable, brining fun water toys each time she meets with us. Rebeka is always smiling and ensures everyone is comfortable, even the parents! Highly highly recommend her.

'Vidar is an amazing instructor and did a fantastic job! He is very patient and understands the kids ! My daughter loves to stay in water and enjoys swimming !Thank you and We are very happy with the instructor Vidar and Sunsational swim school. It’s worth taking classes with them! I strongly recommend!' Sara Gouran

Sara G.

I am so glad I chose to get my about to be 2 year old swim lessons. I wasn't sure if she was ready or how she would respond and I am so glad I just went for it. Our instructor John is AMAZING. My daughter took to him immediately and he was engaging and made the lessons fun. I wasn't sure what to expect but I am blown away we bought a 12 lesson package and will do more after that if the weather is still good. I love that he comes to us it makes my daughter more comfortable and I don't have to worry about distraction. The one on one really pays for itself. Prices are totally reasonable, but you can't really put a price on safety. Definitely recommending Sunsantional to all the other moms I know. You don't have to have a pool, just access to one and you can do your kids together if you have multiple children.

Mary B.

Kyndall did an amazing job teaching swimming to my 3 year old. She was so kind and patient with my child. She was super easy to work with for scheduling. I highly recommend her as an instructor! I would definitely use her again!

Adrian M.

LOVE Ansley. She is extremely patient and we are BEYOND impressed with her teaching style, her ability to deflect and continue with the lesson when the kids are crying/whining. My 2.5 year old is actually SWIMMING. Our friends and family are so impressed. My daughter absolutely loves Ansley and can't wait for her next lesson!

Stephanie H.

Huntington Beach

Jehn was a very patient teacher. My daughter is 14 months and the first day she cried most of the lesson. By the last lesson, she was laughing and completely comfortable in the water. Her confidence is so much better. She's blowing bubbles even when she's not in the pool. Jehn was always on time and ready to teach. The process to find her through Sunsational swim was quick and easy.

Cindy G.

Definitely going to recommend Aeris to others and continue lessons. She is engaging for my infant twins, patient, and just amazing at explaining what we are doing and why. Very baby centered and goes at their pace and comfort level while challenging them.

Eli M.

Julia is amazing! SO PATIENT and SO KIND with our boys. I would recommend her to anyone wanting their little ones to learn water safety skills!!

Candice was amazing with my 9 month old. She was so patient and both myself and my daughter feel comfortable the whole time.

Veronica D.

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!

Katherine M.

Sunsational swim school matched me with an instructor quickly and the experience has been so great. Caitlin has been such a pleasure to work with. She quickly built a great rapport with my 2 year old son. He asks for her my name and loves when it's a swim day!!!

Debra W.

Beka is so patient and calm with my toddler. She has built a great rapport and my toddler has improved so much since working with her!

Megan T.

Tabby was so kind and patient with our 2-year-old daughter. She kept her focused but also made her feel safe. She was always on time and had great communication. My daughter progressed each lesson and learned important pool safety as well as basic swimming skills. Highly recommend Tabitha!

Madison K.

Whittier

Beka is so patient and calm with my toddler. She has built a great rapport and my toddler has improved so much since working with her!

Megan T.

Anaheim

We are so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Kristin! She was so patient with our young son and took care to maintain his level of comfort in the water. She built rapport with him quickly and easily and was very creative in coming up with new ideas and games to build on his skills. She even shared recommendations for us to continue his learning between lessons. What we appreciated the most however, was that she recognized that perhaps he might not quite be ready to learn to swim independently and that we may want to consider taking a break in lessons during which time we can focus on positive interactions with water. We appreciated that she did not just continue with the same tactics just to use up all of the paid sessions. Would definitely recommend Kristin to any family!

"Sandra was so wonderful!! The kids really enjoyed swimming with her and I admire her patience, joyful spirit, and punctuality for every lesson. She was an absolute pleasure to work with!" -Brittany A

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Walnut 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.

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 Walnut. 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 Walnut, 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 Walnut 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 Walnut 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 Walnut 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 Walnut, 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.

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 Walnut, 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.
