Why are Centennial swimming lessons so important?

Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death in the US for children under 14, and in most cases, it happens in just minutes – even when a caregiver is nearby. In fact:

Why Swim lessons important 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

Enrolling your child in swimming lessons is one of the best ways to prevent drowning by teaching them essential water safety skills.

Got questions?

We have answers. What age groups do you offer private swim lessons for?

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.
We are so confident in our private, one-on-one instruction that we offer a Learn-to-Swim Guarantee for all students ages 3 and up!* We guarantee your child will be able to resurface, turn around, swim back to the edge of the pool and grab the wall unassisted after they complete their Learn to Swim Guaranteed package. If your child completes their lesson package and hasn't achieved the agreed-upon milestones, we'll work with you to provide up to 4 additional lessons at no extra cost until they do. This program is our commitment to building a foundation of safety and confidence for your child in the water.

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 Centennial, 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.

The best time to start is now! Every age is the right age to build water safety skills. Our instructors in Centennial teach students as young as 6 months old. We offer tailored approaches for every stage:

Babies & Toddlers (6 mo - 2 yrs): It’s all about safety and happy splashes! We focus on water comfort, parent-and-child bonding, and basic safety skills through songs and games.

Preschoolers (3-5 yrs): This is the sweet spot for learning fundamentals. We turn safety skills like floating and rolling over into fun activities they'll love.

Big Kids (6+ yrs): We build on their confidence to teach proper stroke technique, helping them become strong, proficient swimmers.

Yes! Sunsational specializes in private, at-home swimming lessons for kids across Denver. Your instructor comes directly to your home, condo, or neighborhood pool—so your child learns faster in a familiar, distraction-free environment without the stress of crowded group classes.

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 Centennial, 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.
