Water Safety Is Our Top Concern For Your Baby

Water safety is an important matter in any home, especially if you’re the parent or guardian of a wiggly baby or young child. Everything peaks their interests and they’re natural explorers. The pool and water are great discovery play zones, but they’re also the leading cause of accidental death for children under the age of 5. This alarming fact was a spark in the creation of Sunsational Swim School, and it’s been our mission since 2009 to put an end to this tragic statistic. Swimming lessons don’t just give your baby a head start in their development, they also reduce their risk of drowning by up to 88%. Instilling confidence, increasing body awareness and spurring brain development are all just nice bonuses in comparison to their life-saving value in light of these facts:

Drowning is the #1 cause of accidental death for children under age 5 years old
65% of all preschooler-drowning incidents occur in the child’s home pool
33% of drownings occur at the homes of friends, neighbors or relatives
9 out of 10 drowning deaths occur while a caregiver is present

Drowning is Preventable

Participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children aged one to four years.

Bailey says she "swims like a fish!" With her instructor, Sue. Almost 3, Bailey now swims under water across the width of the pool, knows how to grab on to the sides, and loves to dive down to get the gems that Sue brings. Sue is always on time and even came a little early at first to warm Bailey to a new person in her life. We are super happy with everything and will extend the lessons to get Bailey swimming like a big girl!

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.

Nicole has been excellent! She is a great coach and readily adapts the lessons to fit my strong willed 3 daughter's personality. She has made learning to swim a fun challenge! My kid now jumps in the deep end, and thinks she is a racing mermaid!

We absolutely LOVED Stacey!! She was so patient with both of our 19month old and our 4.5 year old! Our 4 year old just adored her and looked forward to swim lessons each week. She commanded his attention and really made him listen. He swims like a pro now. He is water safe, which was reassuring to hear from Stacey. And he truly enjoys the pool and swimming!! She taught him a lot of neat tricks for diving and swimming on his back. She did quite a lot with our littlest child as well!! She was able to get him onto his back each lesson and dipped him under water. I developed a lot more confidence with him in the water through watching Stacey with him.

My 3 year old used to hate water in her face and often giving baths would lead to her crying. Nicole has been so kind and gentle with teaching her how to swim. Lila is more confident in the water now and she's learning that she can hold her breath in the water for longer. Nicole has made swimming fun, challenging, and has truly helped our daughter feel confident and happy with swimming. We will truly miss Nicole when the lessons are done! Nicole has been so easy to work with. She is so professional with being on time every time we have lessons. She is also good with rescheduling times for lessons. We are so glad Nicole is Lila's teacher! She has made this whole experience well worth it for us! We highly recommend her!

Most definitely recommend sunsational swim school! Very friendly staff that followed up many times and great instructor! My instructor was Erwin. He is a great, heavily accredited instructor who knows his stuff and clearly likes what he does. He is kind and personable, and always excited and supportive. I'm happy with the swimming skills that I learned over the 6 lessons. I overcome my fear of water and can now swim independently. Thanks to sunsational swim school motivated and enthusiastic instructor!

Chanel is a great instructor to both my daughters. My youngest daughter is apprehensive when meeting new people and Chanel's warm personality and patience made my daughter feel at ease. I am amazed at the progress both my daughters (are 2 and 4) in just a few lessons and would highly recommend Sunsational Swim and Chanel in a heartbeat. My oldest daughter can swim across the full length of our pool and my youngest can now float on her back. We look forward for each upcoming session!

Cheyenne was a wonderful instructor! She was super patient with my 3 and 1 year olds and the kids warmed up to her right away. My 3 year old went from being terrified of putting her head in the water to swimming across the pool. Cheyenne never pressured the kids to do something they were scared of but rather was super encouraging and made it fun.

How does Sunsational Swim Work

Frequently Asked  Questions

  • Do I need to have a pool for Sunsational Swim School’s baby swim classes in El Segundo?

    While we specialize in private, at-home infant swim classes in El Segundo, 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 some areas, we even have some swim instructors who can provide a pool for your lessons. To find out if we have instructors with pool access in your specific area, you can begin a registration here.

  • When is the best age to start baby swim lessons?

    Sunsational Swim School begins baby swimming lessons in El Segundo for infants as young as 6 months old. 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. We encourage families to start with a mommy and me swim lesson for babies or swimming lessons for 1 year olds.

  • How long will it take for my child to learn to swim?

    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.

  • Does Sunational teach Infant Self-Rescue “ISR” / survival swimming lessons?

    No. Sunsational Swim School’s infant swim lessons are based on a child-centered and caring approach that focuses on building trust and rapport with the instructor and wonderment and respect of the water. When designing your baby’s swim lesson plan, our instructors consider all aspects of the well-being of your baby, including physical and emotional. 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.

  • Can babies really swim?

    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 in El Segundo are experienced in coaching your baby to learn these skills in a fun, encouraging, and accelerated way.

  • When does a parent have to be in the water?

    We require that a parent or guardian is in the water with infants under 12 months to ensure that they are more comfortable during the swim lesson. We also recommend a parent or guardian is in the water for the first few lessons for toddler swim lessons between 12-24 months.

  • What can I expect for my baby’s first swim class?

    Your swim instructor’s first lesson with your baby is all about establishing trust and rapport with your baby AND with YOU! Our infant swim instructors are specially experienced with introducing your baby to the water in a fun, encouraging approach. If for any reason after your first swim lesson you’re unsatisfied with your swim teacher, you can let us know and we’ll match you with a new swim teacher or issue a refund. It’s your choice under 100% satisfaction guarantee.
