Bring your private swim lessons home with Sunsational Swim School
Sunsational Swim School offers private teen swim lessons in Bonita Springs for beginner, intermediate, and competitive swimmers. If your teen hasn’t learned to swim yet, private swim lessons are the best way to help them build this essential life skill quickly and confidently.
Water safety is a skill that should not be delayed. The sooner they start with a private swim instructor, the better prepared they’ll be for pool parties, beach trips, or water parks.
Some teens may feel embarrassed about learning to swim. That’s why private swim lessons are so effective—no audience, no pressure, just one-on-one guidance from a skilled instructor focused on helping your teen succeed.
Intermediate swim lessons for teens in Bonita Springs
For teens who already have a grasp of swimming basics, formal swimming lessons can provide a perfect way to go from a beginner swimmer to swim team-ready. Intermediate private lessons will usually include developing the mechanics of the various competitive strokes; freestyle (or front crawl), backstroke, butterfly, and breaststroke. For a teen looking to join a swim team, a working knowledge of these strokes is a must. While a teen will learn how to do these swimming strokes from a swim team coach, private swim lessons ensure that a swimmer has a strong grasp on proper stroke form. Intermediate lessons for teens can also include introductions to other competitive swim skills, such as diving, flip turns, breathing technique, treading water and underwater streamline work.

Advanced and competitive swimmers benefit from private lessons too
Even experienced swimmers can benefit from teen swim lessons near me. Private lessons provide focused, one-on-one coaching to help competitive swimmers refine their technique and improve performance. With a dedicated private swim instructor, teens can target specific skills like hand pulls, kicks, and stroke timing. Advanced techniques such as relay starts, backstroke starts, diving skills, and flip turns can also be practiced and perfected.
Teen lessons have always been my favorite to teach. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to teach teens at almost every level: beginners learning how to swim, teens enrolled in the GuardStart program, competitive swimmers on swim teams, and everything in between. Most of my work with teens has been with non-swimmer beginners looking to gain the fundamental basics of swimming. This has included teens who were terrified of water as well as teens who simply hadn’t yet had the opportunity to learn how to swim.

Hello. My name is Shelley! I have been Red Cross WSI certified since February 2022. I have taught water babies all the way to group lessons and private lessons for children aged 3-12. I taught lessons at the FGCU Aquatics Center, the Sanibel Rec Center, and independently as well.

Apart from WSI teaching, I was also a lifeguard from May 2021 to February 2025. I worked both at the FGCU and Sanibel Rec Center during that time. While I did not grow up as a swimmer who competed, my mother had her ISR certification and taught me not only how to swim but also how to swim safely. I hope to do the same for all of you!

We have answers. Are swim lessons effective for teenagers?
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.

Sunsational Swim School offers private, at-home swim lessons designed to help teens build confidence, improve technique, or overcome fear of the water. Each session is taught one-on-one by a certified, background-checked instructor who personalizes every lesson to the teen’s goals—whether learning to swim for safety, fitness, or school requirements. In Bonita Springs, where backyard pools, community pools, beaches are part of everyday life, our private format ensures teens feel comfortable, respected, and motivated to progress.
Yes. Sunsational instructors can tailor lessons for fitness, endurance, stroke refinement, or lifeguard readiness. Whether your teen wants to prepare for summer lifeguard certification, join a team, or simply improve technique, our certified instructors in Bonita Springs create targeted programs that strengthen skills and boost performance while reinforcing safe, efficient swimming habits.
Every teen progresses at their own pace, but most beginners in Bonita Springs see significant confidence and skill development within 8–12 lessons. Factors like comfort level, athletic background, lesson frequency, and practice between sessions all play a role. Private instruction accelerates learning because every minute is focused on your teen's specific needs—no waiting for others or repeating skills they've already mastered. Many teens who start nervous about water are swimming independently within a few weeks. Your Sunsational instructor will assess progress regularly and adjust lessons to keep momentum going, ensuring your teen reaches their goals efficiently and safely.
Each lesson plan is customized to your teen’s ability and goals. Beginners focus on floating, breathing, and survival strokes, while more advanced swimmers learn freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and endurance training. Sunsational instructors also teach water safety and rescue awareness, so teens are confident around backyard pools, community pools, beaches, backyard swim, Gulf beach days and all the great activities to enjoy in Bonita Springs.
