Sunsational clients love our swimming lessons

5-star rated by parents and swimmers alike

Our swim Instructor, Nadia is absolutely fantastic. She is so patient with our 21 month-old granddaughter and we couldn't be happier. If she is any indication on the professionalism of the rest of the Sunsational Staff, future clients can't go wrong. I would highly recommend the Sunsational Swim School, especially Nadia, to my family and friends.

Raymond G.

'Evonne is super patient and kind with my littles! I love how calm she is and her experiences with kids' Sammy Garrett

Sammy G.

Keiyon was a great swim instructor for my girls! He was very patient with them and did what he could to make them comfortable in the water. He was always on time and flexible with our changing schedule. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to swim!

Lily T.

Sunsational swim school matched me with an instructor quickly and the experience has been so great. Caitlin has been such a pleasure to work with. She quickly built a great rapport with my 2 year old son. He asks for her my name and loves when it's a swim day!!!

Debra W.

We are so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Kristin! She was so patient with our young son and took care to maintain his level of comfort in the water. She built rapport with him quickly and easily and was very creative in coming up with new ideas and games to build on his skills. She even shared recommendations for us to continue his learning between lessons. What we appreciated the most however, was that she recognized that perhaps he might not quite be ready to learn to swim independently and that we may want to consider taking a break in lessons during which time we can focus on positive interactions with water. We appreciated that she did not just continue with the same tactics just to use up all of the paid sessions. Would definitely recommend Kristin to any family!

Katie P.

James is priceless: James is everything and more! He is kind, polite, attentive, and patient. He is skilled in water sports as well education. We’ve seen big strides in our new to swimming toddler and a huge jump in skill with are beginner/intermediate swimmer. Thanks again James!

Joleen D.

Coach Robin is fantastic! She was so patient and encouraging with our 2 and 4-year-old. The girls loved Robin and felt safe with her!

Alyssa F.

Candice was amazing with my 9 month old. She was so patient and both myself and my daughter feel comfortable the whole time.

Veronica D.

Keiyon tailored lessons to my sons personal needs. He was fun and enthusiastic even when my son was scared of the water.

Vanessa H.

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.

Cindy G.

Julia is amazing! SO PATIENT and SO KIND with our boys. I would recommend her to anyone wanting their little ones to learn water safety skills!!

Rachel L.

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!

Charlyn B.

Robin is fantastic. A true dedicated professional. She uses songs and fun to keep baby interested while accomplishing important milestones. I highly recommend her.

Cari B.

Having a baby and a toddler at home made me want the convenience of a swim teacher coming to our home. Kristen was punctual, kind, patient, and professional! I was able to watch my daughter learn to swim in the comfort of our home. She was fully engaged in my daughter and able to meet her where she was both developmentally and as a swimmer!

Rochelle C.

Kristin is great! We have two little ones, ages 3 and 1. She's firm when she needs to be, encouraging when it's called for, and pulls back when necessary. Kristin knows how to engage children in the lesson to work on appropriate skills.

Patricia B.

Coach Kristin is friendly and energetic and does a great job with my son. I would recommend!

Kristin E.

My son is 1.5 years old and Milen was a great instructor. Very patient and easy to work with. Would recommend.

Mario T.

We started lessons back up this year 2020 and Sunsational swim school has paired us up with another great instructor. Lessons are going great! Alex A is a fantastic teacher and my son really loves working with her. She is always on time and has a great attitude. She finds ways to keep it fun for him so he stays engaged. She is fantastic. My son is only 3 1/2 and he swims pretty great for his age and I feel safe having him in the water. 2019 We have had lessons with Jennifer Le now for the past few months twiceand she is fantastic. My 2 1/2-year-old has had lessons before but he has excelled so much just in the past month with her. He was very difficult to work with in the beginning with crying and not wanting to swim but she was able to get him to swim and have fun. She was very open in switching days if that needed to be done and getting make up classes set up. Having swim lessons at my home is such an amazing convenience.

Jennifer Y.

Coach Kristin is friendly and energetic and does a great job with my son. I would recommend!

Kristin E.

We have had lessons with Jennifer Le now for the past few months twice a week and she is fantastic. My 2 1/2-year-old has had lessons before but he has excelled so much just in the past month with her. He was very difficult to work with in the beginning with crying and not wanting to swim but she was able to get him to swim and have fun. She was very open in switching days if that needed to be done and getting make up classes set up. Having swim lessons at my home is such an amazing convenience.

Jennifer Y.

Kristin is a wonderful teacher. She is so patient and kind with our 2 year old & he has made so much progress in just 3 weeks of lessons with her. Thank you, Kristin!

Sarah R.

'Caroline was patient and so kind to my grandkids. They had a hard in the beginning but now are much more comfortable in the water. Thank you!' - Michele A.

Michele A.

Rebeka is so incredible, I am extremely happy with the swim lessons she provides! She makes my daughter feel so comfortable, brining fun water toys each time she meets with us. Rebeka is always smiling and ensures everyone is comfortable, even the parents! Highly highly recommend her.

April K.

Doreen was very patient And was great with our son.

Melissa Q.

'Lisbet is absolutely wonderful! We have almost completed our 12 lesson package and our girls have significantly improved their skills. She has been amazing with our triplet girls, and look forward to swim lessons each week. We will be buying another package.' -Erin S.

Erin A.

Melanie is they absolute best. We have a non verbal 2 year old as well as a chatterbox 4yr old. My two year old tries to cry the entire time, but keeps getting distracted by Melanie's tactics! My 4 yr old on the other hand wishes he had lessons 7 days a week! We tried aqua-tots before and both my kids hated it. My oldest started out hating any water on his face but after 8 lessons he can swim under water from one side of the pool to the other! He excitedly told me that 'he was a big fish because he can see underwater!' The transformation in his confidence and self worth is unbelievable. While at Aqua-tots I had to force them into the water. Now I can't keep them out of it. I can't imaging having anyone other than Mrs. Melanie as our teacher! She is always respectful, polite, and understanding of each child's needs. Thank you, Melanie! We can't wait to schedule with you again next summer!

Seana M.

I could not be happier with our instructor, Kris. She is fantastic! She has been very patient and flexible with our appointment times as well as patient with my new swimmers. Progress is happening very slowly but I can't wait until they have their breakout moment which I feel is coming very soon! Thank you Sunsational for finding the right instructor for our swimming needs. Thanks again!

Ryan F.

My daughter was swimming for months without much improvement elsewhere. I found Sunsational and they paired me with Elise S, and it has been a dream ever since. We added our daughters' ages 2 and 4 to swim with Elise and right away they were comfortable with her. My 2-year-old is a little difficult to work with, but Elise made her comfortable and implemented games to keep her entertained and interested. Both my girls were able to achieve more than the goal of water safety. My 4-year-old can swim the length of our pool and swim to the walls to safety. She also learned other skills to be safe if she's not able to get to the wall fast enough, such as floating on her back and treading. My 2-year-old is able to go underwater and tread to the wall to safety if needed. We are just so happy with the service and especially with Elise. Not only is she a great instructor, she also accommodated to our schedule and was so flexible when I needed to make last-minute changes. More importantly, she made my girls feel safe in the water with her and was a good teacher for them.

SELENA G.

James is prompt very professional! Great communication and excited about teaching.

KaSondra G.

'Whitney was great for us! She dealt with our toddler's stranger danger really well and I would definitely use her again. She gave us tons of tips and things to do outside of lessons and was easy to work with. She was easy to communicate with when we had to reschedule as well. Highly recommend.' - Brittany W.

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Buena Park 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.

Hi, my name is Tyler Pierson, and I am currently attending IT school for Cybersecurity and Networking. I have played water polo and swum for my entire life, and my entire family has as well, so I have a deep passion for water safety and comfort. I have been teaching swimming lessons since February 2016, starting in Cerritos, with experience across all age groups, and I love to assist in any way possible.

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 Buena Park. 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 Buena Park, 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 Buena Park 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 Orange County, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Buena Park 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 Buena Park 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 Buena Park, 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 Orange County. 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

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 Buena Park, 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.
