"We have had a blast with Ashley! The baby really responds to her and feels so safe with her during lessons. He has really progressed in his skills and I feel soooo much better about his safety around water!" - Alicia A

While we initially had issues with finding an instructor that was a good fit for our toddler, we did eventually find one. Sunsational was very helpful and worked with us to find a the right instructor. Abbie has been amazing. Our son really enjoys his lessons with her and has made great improvements. He is 16 months old and is kicking, going under water, and loving the water. Abbie is so kind and easy going. She doesn't force our son to do anything that makes him uncomfortable. She has been very flexible with scheduling and making changes. Even during our lessons if T is getting fussy, she understands and we end the lesson a few minutes or so early. I highly recommend this company for swim lessons. Thank you Abbie and Sunsational!

Sue is a fantastic instructor for small children. She has been amazing with my daughter who is 22-23 months during the lessons. She has not pressured her but made it fun and she has grown so comfortable in the water. Two thumbs up!

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hi! My name is Hannah Cargo. I have taught TAAF swim team skills in Texas since November 2015, and I have taught Red Cross introductory swim lessons since February 2022. I joined the swim team later than most of my peers, and I felt a lot of frustration with my slow and inefficient stroke. My coach was amazing and taught me how to improve and love my growth. I love bringing that positive energy and guiding swim students to unlock their super skills. I teach all ages: preschool, school-age, adults, and infant and parent courses. I am adaptive to mental and physical needs. I am Lifeguard, CPR, and First Aid certified.

Hi, Im Katie! My love for being in the water started when I was really young. I spent most of my childhood on a competitive swim team, developing skills that have stayed with me my whole life and have presented me with amazing opportunities like surfing or swimming with orcas! I love sharing my passion through teaching all ages, from young children to adults, focusing on safe, effective progress in a supportive environment. Whether they are absolute beginners, refining their stroke technique, or focusing on health, my goal is to help my students build real water safety, lifesaving skills and confidence in the water in a way that's fun and encouraging.

Hi, I have been teaching swimming to all ages and levels since February 2000. I have a background in early childhood education and experience swimming for fitness and endurance. The key to swimming is to have trust in your instructor and confidence in and around the water. Therefore, I always start with the foundations of swimming: body position, buoyancy, and breath control. Happy swimming, Sue

Hello! Im Ava, a senior at UT Austin also coming up on my 8th summer of teaching swim lessons. It is my most favorite job being able to connect with students and see their progress in the water! Over the years I have had high success rates and received lots of feedback. I find my teaching style to be uplifting and fun but also very communicative and encouraging in order for my students to understand what were doing, why were doing it, and ways to push their skills/build confidence. Ive seen it all from infants to senior citizens and everything in between. I would love to work with you and your family in learning the safety, fun, and confidence that swimming brings!

Musician, personal trainer, and swim instructor! Please to meet you via smartphone application! I appreciate the opportunity to build healthy relationships between people and Water. I find that as we build respect with Water, we build trust between it and within our own bodies. I find that learning to swim largely equates to learning how to be supported and releasing control and fear. I am a very intuitive coach. I pay attention to sensitivities and allow those to guide us through our swim journey! Looking forward to enjoying the water with yall!

Austin, Texas 78705
Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hi, Im Danna! My swimming journey started at age 3, growing up near South Padre Island, where I trained in both the open ocean and the pool. That love for the water turned into competitive swimming at age 10, and by 16 I was already lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons. Today I bring 6 years of instructing experience and a lifetime in the water to every lesson. Ive taught swimmers of all ages, from toddlers taking their first splash to adults building confidence, all the way to competitive athletes refining technique. My goal is simple: help every swimmer feel safe, confident, and strong in the water, wherever theyre starting from. I cant wait to work with you!

Austin, Texas 78705
Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hi, my name is Vishnu Tata! I have a competitive swimming background with five years of club swimming and varsity experience at Allen High School, so I know what good technique looks like and how to build it from the ground up. I have hands-on experience teaching kids ages 3 to 16 at a swim school, so I am comfortable working with toddlers just getting used to the water, all the way up to older kids building real strokes. I know how to keep little ones engaged and how to push older swimmers to improve. I am also a licensed EMT, which means pool safety is something I take seriously. Parents can feel confident that their child is in safe, trained hands during every class.

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.

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.
