My father in law bought lessons for our 2 year old son, Maximus. He swims like a fish now and his instructor, Amy is amazing. She's so friendly and enthusiastic. Our son was engaged the entire time he was in the pool. He got small prizes and a certificate after he achieved expected results. Will recommend to our friends. Amy is the best! Thanks Sunsational!!

In Bal Harbour, our instructors teach year-round, so you can start lessons whenever you’re ready.
Our core service is providing private, at-home swim lessons. Your trained instructor travels to your home pool, community pool or aquatic facility anywhere in Bal Harbour or across Miami-Dade. If you don't have a pool, our instructors are happy to meet you at any safe, local pool of your choosing.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational swim instructor is rigorously vetted with comprehensive background checks and is certified in CPR and first aid, and insured under our company insurance policy. Our instructors have a minimum of 2 seasons of teaching experience before being certified. Many also have specialized experience working with infants, toddlers, special needs learners, or adults overcoming fear of water. In Bal Harbour, where backyard pools, condo pools, beaches make swimming skills essential, you can trust that your instructor is not only qualified but passionate about building water confidence and safety in every student.

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.
