Private Swim Lessons
in Virginia Beach , VA

Whether you’re enjoying the ocean or hanging out at the pool, it’s always a great time for swim lessons in Virginia Beach! Our effective, gentle techniques are applied during private, one-on-one instruction, in order to encourage each student to master the skills necessary for greater safety in and around the water. Of particular importance for our younger swimmers, our swimming lessons in the Virginia Beach area first focus on the “Sunsational Safety Sequence”: in other words, knowing how to avoid falling into the water, and how to turn around and get to the side if they do accidentally wind up in the pool.

We’re so confident that your child will improve his ability to be safer in the water that we offer an exclusive Learn-to-Swim Guarantee package for learners 3 and up: your child will swim to the wall unassisted (after a simulated fall into the water) by the 12th lesson. If not, we’ll give you up to four free lessons to help them keep working at it!

Your Sunsational Swim teacher will meet you anywhere in the greater Virginia Beach area—from Suffolk to Newport News!—eliminating the expense and time required to fight traffic in order to get to a group swim lesson with too many students! Why spend money for months on end, wondering if your kids will learn to swim this time, when you can see them make progress in just a few private lessons from the comfort of your backyard pool or favorite community facility?

If your child dreams of someday competing in the Breezy Point Triathlon or body surfing the waves at Chick’s Beach, Sunsational Swim School will match them with the best Virginia Beach instructor for their strengths and challenges, helping them progress quickly in their confidence and swimming skills.

Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Virginia Beach

Our Focus: Water Safety

Our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee focuses on the “Sunsational Swim Sequence”: improving every student’s ability to recover from a fall into a pool by turning around and swimming back to the wall. Sunsational’s private swim lessons enable students throughout Virginia Beach to be safer in their own backyards while learning these critical skills in the comfort and privacy of home swimming pools.

Scheduling at Your Convenience

Grab your calendar and let us know what works for YOU! Back-to-back classes before naptime for your twin toddlers? Early evening sessions for your young adult that’s trying to qualify on a military swim test? Whatever fits your schedule, we’ve got an instructor for you.

Individualized Lesson Planning

Sunsational’s infant and toddler classes help even our youngest students to know how to turn around in the water and get to the wall, and our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee (for kids ages 3 and up) ensures that your child will make significant progress in their ability to execute that “Sunsational Safety Sequence”—or we’ll give you up to four extra lessons at no cost, to help them get there! Because every student comes to the water with a different set of strengths and challenges, our teachers custom-design each lesson to help each individual make progress with gentle, progressive instruction.

Which Pool? You Decide!

You’ll love the no-hassle way of learning to swim in the Virginia Beach area: private lessons scheduled at your preferred pool. From Norfolk to Chesapeake, our Sunsational teachers give classes at your favorite community pool—or at your own home swimming pool.

Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
Amanda has been fabulous with our three year old. She is so patient and kind with her. She has significantly improved her swimming skills since beginning lessons with Amanda. She went from minimal swimming skills to swimming on her own. We would absolutely recommend Sunsational Swim School and Amanda as both have been very pleasant and professional to work with.
