Hi! My name is Anika. I have been swimming competitively for most of my life. I swam on club and school teams and continued on as a collegiate swimmer. This gave me a strong technical foundation in all strokes. Additionally, I have taught swim lessons since January 2021. I have taught children as young as 6 months through adults of all skill levels. I have also completed training courses in teaching swim lessons to all ages. I have also worked as a certified lifeguard since January 2021, ensuring safety and supervision.

Jacob R.
Wesley Chapel, Florida 33545
Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hello! My name is Jacob. I have been working with students in the water as an instructor for a little less than a year. My top priority is to keep your swimmer safe. Following that, it is so important to me to always be patient, kind, and understanding. Students cannot learn if they don't first, feel comfortable and safe with their teacher. I have worked with children from the age of 6 months old to 17 years old, and I have worked with adults of various ages as well. Swimming instruction is different for every student. No two students are the same and they will have unique needs. This is the student's time, not mine. I am here to work together with you, as a team, to help your student to be the best swimmer they can be!

Allison B.
Zephyrhills, Florida 33542
Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
In my experience since October 2022, as well as working with different swim schools, my ability to teach water safety while bonding with students has become nothing short of second nature. I have a firm understanding of how to adapt my teaching depending on the student and environment, and I will always meet my students where they are and aim them toward success. I have also learned the value of being a role model to fellow instructors, as I have trained employees at previous swim schools and have been placed in positions such as deck supervisor. I am confident in the water, and I intend to pass that confidence to whomever I teach.

Got questions?
We have answers. When is the best time for adults to start swim lessons?
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 Wesley Chapel, our instructors teach year-round, so you can start lessons whenever you’re ready.
Yes — adults can absolutely learn to swim at any age. Sunsational Swim School specializes in private, at-home adult swim lessons that meet you where you are, from complete beginner to stroke refinement. Our certified, background-checked instructors use a safety-first approach and one-on-one instruction to build confidence, comfort, and efficient technique.
Many adult learners see meaningful progress in just 4 to 12 lessons with regular practice. If you’re searching for “private swim instructor near me” or swim lessons in Wesley Chapel, our flexible scheduling, mobile swim instructors and personalized lesson plans make it easy to fit learning into your life.
While everyone learns at their own pace, we can give you a realistic timeline based on thousands of adult students. We see most beginners who take consistent private lessons in Wesley Chapel achieve these milestones:
- Within 1-3 lessons: Comfortably submerge their face, control their breathing, and perform a supported back float. The initial fear begins to fade.
- Within 4-8 lessons: Can swim a short distance (10-15 feet) unassisted using a basic freestyle or elementary backstroke. They can also safely recover to a standing position.
- Within 8-12 lessons: Develop the endurance and technique to swim the length of a typical backyard pool with confidence.
We understand that a real fear of water is not something you can just "get over." Our entire approach is built on trust and control. Here’s what it looks like:
You Are Always in Control: We start where you can comfortably stand, often on the pool steps. Your instructor will never push, splash, or rush you.
It Starts with Breathing: The very first skill your Sunsational instructor works with you is often breath control—learning to blow bubbles. This one simple action calms the nervous system and gives you a sense of command in the water.
We Demystify Floating: We explain the physics of why your body wants to float. We then guide you through it with full support, so you can feel the water holding you up without any risk. This is the "aha!" moment for most anxious swimmers.
One-on-one lessons are tailored to your objectives: water confidence, breath control, stroke mechanics, endurance, or open-water readiness. Safety skills such as floating, treading water, and emergency recovery are emphasized from day one. Your instructor will break complex skills into manageable drills, correct body position and timing, and add focused practice to accelerate improvement.
Our instructors are certified, background-checked, and CPR-trained, and lessons are delivered privately at your home pool for convenience. If you search “private swim instructor near me,” you’ll find Sunsational Swim School offers flexible lesson lengths and scheduling to match your lifestyle.
Your first lesson is all about comfort and confidence. Your instructor will assess your current ability, demonstrate proper breathing and floating techniques, and help you relax in the water. There’s no pressure to perform—just a calm, step-by-step introduction to swimming safely and efficiently.
Absolutely. Our advanced coaches teach the nuanced mechanics that define an efficient stroke. For freestyle, we move beyond the basics and focus on key areas of propulsion, like the high-elbow catch (early vertical forearm). We also offer advanced training for breaststroke, butterfly, backstroke, triathlon and more in our private at-home swim lesson programs available in Wesley Chapel.
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 Wesley Chapel, 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.
