Trudy was great working with our two-year-old granddaughter. Trudy was very upbeat and made the lessons fun, She helped our granddaughter overcome her fear of water. We recommend Trudy to anyone wanting private lessons in a home pool. We will call her again next year.

David N.

'The communication both from swimsational and our instructor Aliah has been fantastic. We love her!' -William C

William C.

'20/10 for Elmer! He is an absolute gem - he has a true passion for helping others and it's very evident in his teaching. He is very patient and able to adapt to the child's learning style. He made our slightly anxious 3 year old son feel comfortable and confident in the water. He was also amazing with our 1.5 year old daughter - she adored him! He is punctual, professional, and friendly. No wonder he is booked for weeks to come.'

Sarah H.

'Our swim instructor is great with my child - give clear communication after lesson. She is patient and always on time.' - Illiana V.

Iliana N.

Emma was great! My almost 2 year old daughter had 13 swim lessons with Emma. She was amazing with her! Emma was always on time and was very professional. Would recommend her to anyone in Katy, TX.

Megan H.

Cathi Whaley has been teaching my 4 year old and 2 year old swim lessons and they have learned so much. She's very patient, kind, and fun. My kids are so excited every time she comes for a lesson and can't wait for the next one. They have learned valuable skills and she makes sure to reiterate pool safety and teach them skills to keep them safe. I recommend her so much, she's been wonderful!

Taylor B.

'Lyric is kind, patient, flexible, and experienced. She was great with all my kids, from 9 to 20 months. we cant wait to see her next summer!' Catherine Waltrip-Lesch

Catherine W.

Gina is exceptional! My baby girl now knows how to kick her feet in the water and this is her first time learning how to swim at 17 months. - Bailey A.

Ashley B.

'William did great with the kids and we were sad to see him move to Austin!' Rivers Farrell

Rivers F.

Cathi has been an outstanding swim instructor for both of the kids. After just two lessons, the 1 and 3 year old have become noticeably more comfortable and confident in the water. Cathi clearly goes above and beyond, taking extra care to ensure even very young children feel safe while learning new skills. Both children quickly grew comfortable, smiling and participating after only a short time. Cathi adapts her teaching style to each child’s age and comfort level, showing real patience and encouragement. Her creative and gentle approach makes swim lessons something the kids look forward to each week. There is clear, steady progress after every session, and trust was built right away. Overall Impression It’s rare to find an instructor who brings out so much confidence and joy in such young children, making Cathi highly recommended for families looking for a fun and positive introduction to swimming.

Christine A.

'Elmer was amazing with the boys. He was patient and accommodating while teaching them. Highly recommend!!' -Jason S.

Kat has so far been a great instructor. I wish I had her from the beginning and do believe she absolutely deserves a bonus. - Dr Chen

Aaron C.

Emma has been exceptional with my 2yr old daughter. She is very professional and knows exactly how to get a Toddler to pay attention and just the right moments to make learning fun. We're only a third of the way through lessons and my husband and I are thrilled with her progress. My daughter has really shown an increase in her confidence and is excited to practice her new skills. We can't wait to see how things go over the next 4 weeks!

Taylor A.

Chris is great! Super easy to work with and has been flexible with the schedule. Our daughter was acting shy and didn't want to float so he just went on with the next skill which is to pull yourself out of the pool by the ledge. Then on to kicking and eventually back to floating. He gives us advice on a couple of things we can practice before the next session. We get a really good read on what is going on and is able to communicate that to the parents. We have been very happy!

Megan W.

JaNae was so patient and caring that my 2 year old would ask for JaNae and look forward to swimming with her. Our child has made such significant improvements in her swim ability, all thanks to JaNae!

Sophia J.

We have had tremendous success with Coach Morgan. My three children have made tremendous progress and genuinely love the water. My two year old wakes up every morning and excitedly asks, 'Swim with Morgan today?' We have had a fantastic experience and highly recommend it!

Kendall V.

I cannot say enough about how much we love Miss Emma! My son is 15 months old and was not even remotely cooperative when we started lessons. Miss Emma went out of her way to make sure he felt comfortable with her and looked at the pool as a fun place. She was wonderful with him and he is jumping into the pool by himself and holding his breath like a champ! I cannot believe how much he has improved and I'm sure he will be swimming on his own before he turns 2. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating to our schedule. We are so grateful to Miss Emma for all that she did and I highly recommend her and Sunsational!

Kristin W.

Margot has been a great instructor. She's punctual, professional, and great with my 10-month-old sold. I highly recommend using her as a swim instructor!

Reem H.

Renee has done a great job with the babies!

Geraldine G.

Renee has done a great job with the babies!

'Jennifer was so wonderful! Mason loved swimming with her and she had the perfect balance of pushing him to learn more skills but also to keep him happy and enjoying the lessons. He is now a confident swimmer and we will have her back when my youngest is ready for classes!' - Chelsea S.

Chelsea S.

Cassandra is the most amazing teacher. She was a blessing to have and my girls loved her.

Carmen M.

We have been very pleased with Ginger and the swim lessons. Our granddaughter took to Ginger immediately. Ginger makes the lessons fun for our 1-year-old granddaughter.

Pam D.

We absolutely loved our swim instructor Eva. She was always very punctual and professional. Our one year old loves the water and has learned to kick, grab the wall of the swimming pool and even blow bubbles! His progress has been remarkable and we have Eva to thank for that.

kristin b.

Corrie was very patient and friendly with our daughter (2.5 years old), who in turn showed good progress and interest to learn new skills.

Sergei B.

Diego was patient and gentle with our toddler, he gained her trust throughout the process and we saw great improvement. We highly recommend him!

Yanely C.

We have had a wonderful experience with Renee through Sunsational. It is so convenient that she came to our house for the lessons and they are one on one. I was really Impressed by the progress my son made while Under her instruction. He is only 2 and was comfortable in the water but has made a great deal of progress with his lessons. She was very sweet to my boy as well- he loved her and had fun! I highly recommend Renee and Sunsational swim lessons!

Bri M.

We signed up with Sunsational Swim School for my five-year-old son. He had only used floaties and we felt it was time he learned to swim on his own. We purchased the six-lesson plan and Jonah was our assigned instructor. Our son was swimming on his own by the third lesson and jumping into the pool followed by swimming across the entire pool by his final lesson. We couldn't be happier and money was well spent. If you're in the Lake Houston area, I highly recommend requesting Jonah as your teacher.

Cody C.

We've been paired with Ms. Lyndie and have been nothing short of totally impressed!! She is patient, funny, and very easy to work with! My son loves her! One thing I've observed is that Ms Lyndie will change her lesson plan to match the child receiving the lesson. After only 12 lessons, our 3 year old son is swimming short distances on his own. Thank you, Ms. Lyndie!!

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Barker parents wonder if their baby is too young to start learning to swim. They think babies will eventually learn the skills on their own, or that the skill isn’t necessary. Here’s why starting lessons early is a smart choice:

Water safety starts early

Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children under four. Babies are naturally curious, which is why baby swimming lessons make so much sense. An awareness of the water, and water safety skills, could very well save your child’s life one day.

Decreased risk of drowning

It’s impossible to watch over your children every second. Most daycare facilities have pool or splash days during the summer or have field trips that include water fun. Children can drown in less than 1 inch of water, particularly if the person is under the age of 4. Swimming lessons help decrease the risk of drowning.

Encourages social interaction

Swimming and playing in the pool with parents and other babies helps boost babies' social development. Babies learn through shared experiences, laughter, and engaging in activities together. Your child shouldn't have to skip these character-forming moments due to a fear of the water or because you simply haven't found the time for swim lessons.

Builds their strength

For babies, swimming helps strengthen their muscles, improve coordination, and enhance their motor skills – all without any unnecessary stress on joints. Plus, the water’s resistance provides a full-body workout, even for the tiniest of swimmers. Swimming may even help learn to walk sooner thanks to better muscle control.

Lifelong skill that starts early

Swimming is a skill for life. Providing your baby with swimming lessons opens up a whole new arena of fun and fitness that they can participate in all their lives. If you don't know how to swim, consider taking a parent and baby swim class together or taking adult swim lessons on your own. Create core memories in the water, together!

How parent and baby swim lessons help build confidence around the water

Babies as young as six months old benefit from pool time in the arms of a trusted adult. Infant swim lessons allow your child to enjoy the water before they have a chance to learn fear. Positive pool experiences help babies remain calm so they can progress to learn effective water navigation skills such as kicking and back floats.

How parent and baby swim lessons help image

75%of children who drown were out of sight for five minutes or less

9 out of 10drowning deaths occur while an adult is present

The benefits of swim lessons extend beyond the pool. The sensory and motor stimulation resulting from pool time creates new neurons that positively impact confidence and even intelligence. Bilateral movements, or using both sides of the body, help increase the connections between the two hemispheres of the brain, which will later help with skills like language development, spatial awareness and reading.

How to prepare your baby for swim lessons

Not ready for a formal class yet? Start at home! Simple activities in the bathtub, like gently pouring water over your baby’s head, introducing words like “kick” and “splash”, or laying them on their back in shallow water, can help them feel comfortable in the water before their first lesson.

When you’re ready for the pool, help your baby be successful with these tips:

1
Feed them at least 30 minutes before a lesson to prevent tummy discomfort
2
Pack essentials like swim diapers, towels, dry clothes, and fresh diapers
3
Arrive early so you have time to get ready
4
Ease into the water to keep the experience positive

Water safety is always the number one priority

Even the most comprehensive and successful water training program isn’t enough to drown-proof your child. Babies should always be within arm’s reach in the water, and children should never swim unsupervised. The goal of baby swimming lessons is to reduce the chance of accidental drowning, but it can’t guarantee to prevent it completely. Even if your little one was the star of the class, you should still be vigilant in your supervision to ensure that the water provides positive experiences for years to come.

Got questions?

We have answers. What age can babies start swim 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.

Yes! Sunsational specializes in private, at-home baby swimming lessons, where our instructors come directly to your pool or community facility in Barker. It’s the easiest way for your baby to learn in a calm, familiar setting.

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 Barker, our instructors teach year-round, so you can start lessons whenever you’re ready.

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.

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 are experienced in coaching your baby to learn these skills in a fun, encouraging, and accelerated way. Even if your baby is not ready to swim, we'll work on swim and safety skills like blowing bubbles (breath control), kicking, rolling over onto our back and floating.

Your baby’s first swim lesson is designed to be gentle, fun, and completely pressure-free. The goal isn’t to make your baby swim right away—it’s to help them feel safe, happy, and relaxed in the water. Tears on the first day are not unexpected!

Your Sunsational instructor will start by introducing your baby to the pool gradually: gentle splashing, floating with support, and playful water exploration. Parents or caregivers are always encouraged to be present.

Most Barker parents begin lessons around 6 months old, when babies can comfortably hold their heads up and start exploring the water. 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. Sunsational’s certified instructors offer private, at-home baby swimming lessons throughout Houston, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Barker is certified in CPR and insured under our company liability insurance policy. What's more, every Sunsational swim instructor has a minimum of 2 season's of teaching experience. We emphasize comfort, floating, and water awareness—always at your baby’s pace.

Every child learns differently, but with consistent, one-on-one instruction, most Barker infants begin floating and showing swim readiness within our 12 or 18 lesson package. Sunsational’s personalized approach—taught in your own pool—helps babies progress faster than in group lessons. We find that the most common and most influential factors in the student’s learning pace are repetition and consistency. To that end, we recommend our baby students take 3 lessons per week for maximum skill retention and fast progression.

While we specialize in private, at-home infant swim classes in Barker, 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 Houston. In some areas, we even have some swim instructors who can provide a pool for your lessons.

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 Barker, 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.

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.
