5-star rated by parents and swimmers alike

My grand daughters are two and four. They are taking lessons with Lindsey. She is so awesome with both girls and they are really progressing well. They have only had 4 lessons so far, but they look forward to every lesson and can't wait to see Lindsey! She is great!

MaryAnn D.

Ms. Loretta was the perfect fit for my toddler daughter. She was firm, yet gentle and loving with her, which was necessary to get her through each lesson and learn what she needed to in order to be safe in the water. Ms. Loretta really believes in swim safety and doesn't take her job/purpose lightly. Also, she did her best to work with our schedule, which was very helpful.

Dakira W.

'My 2 year old grandson just completed 19 lessons with Aeris and I can't say enough good things about the wonderful work Aeris did with my grandson. It's obvious she has worked with this age group as she seems to know just what to do to build trust and get him to try whatever was needed for him to make great progress this summer. I highly recommend these lessons, especially with Aeris.' -Cathleen F.

Cathleen F.

Mike has been exceptional! After only 2 lessons our one and a half year old son is holding his breath, blowing bubbles, and kicking his feet. He is becoming so comfortable in the water. Very happy mom! Can't wait to see how well he is doing once we're done with lessons.

Autumn H.

We are so happy with our experience w/ sunsational swim school and Ms. Jenny! Ms. Jenny is an incredible instructor and works so well with our twins. They’re complete opposites and Ms. Jenny is able to change up strategies with what each child needs. She is so patient and handles the toddlers occasional screaming amazingly. Ms. Jenny also helps my husband and myself with what we can do ourselves to help our girls be as water safe as possible. Ms. Jenny is so kind and informative and works with us. Would recommend to anyone looking for swim lessons.

Brooke M.

Nicole was awesome! I have two year old twins who kick and reach like pros and love the pool now. The twins were very challenging at times but she was very patient and understanding.

Wendy D.

Definitely going to recommend Aeris to others and continue lessons. She is engaging for my infant twins, patient, and just amazing at explaining what we are doing and why. Very baby centered and goes at their pace and comfort level while challenging them.

Eli M.

Austin is a great instructor for my grandson, who is two. He has taught my grandson life saving skills while in the water and out of the water. My grandson looks forward to each lesson with Austin and uses the skills and techniques he has learned anytime he is in or around water. I highly recommended choosing Austin for your child’s swim lessons.

Serenity B.

Austin is a great instructor and very good with small children who have meltdowns, don't like the feeling of laying on their back in the water, going under water, etc. He is patient and my grandson greets Austin, every time he sees him, with excitement and eagerness to learn to swim. My grandson, who is two years old, listens to Austin and follows his directions. I have had swim lessons for my kids when they were young and I can say, Austin, is by far the best instructor for little kids because my grandson loves the water and uses his skills he has been taught by Austin every time he is in the water or out of the water. Gives my daughter and I peace of mind. I highly recommend Austin at Sunsational Swim School, for swim instruction for your little ones starting out.

Quan was the instructor for our 3 kids ages 6, 4 and 2 yrs. He was exceptional with getting them swim safe. Our boys can freely swim and our 2 yr old daughter is getting very close to completing a swim-float-swim style. He was very patient with our kids and energetic enough to keep their interest. If you are fortunate to get Quan as your kids instructor (or for yourself) I truly feel you are learning from one of the best!

Phoebe P.

Lynsey is an awesome swim instructor that is dependable, flexible, skilled, and very patient with our little toddler grandchildren. She is very calm, even when they cry (one and two years old). We woukd definitely recommend Lynsey and Sunsational. - Steve Dickel

Steven D.

Wendy is a very patient and kind instructor. She's fun as well. My daughter loves her lessons. She is very reliable! I would highly recommend her. If I could give her ten stars I would. My daughter has become a very confident and strong swimmer. Her interaction has been excellent from beginning to end.

Christa M.

We had an amazing experience with Austin as our son's instructor. Our toddler just turned 2, which is a challenge in general, but Austin was endlessly patient with the perfect demeanor to teach such a young child with a very short attention span. He was always very communicative, polite, professional and on time. If we decide to book additional lessons when our son is older we would definitely want to work with him again!

Megan M.

Delfina was amazing. My 2 yo daughter fell in love with her and by the end of her 13 sessions she was able to swim.

Michelle W.

'Alyssa was super sweet and patient with my daughter. I would definitely recommend her as an instructor!' - Vanessa L.

John was very patient and understanding as my toddler got through the first few days of getting to know him. We are now halfway through our lessons and she is really enjoying her time with him. We are pleased that she uses the skills he's teaching her (blow bubbles, kicking, waiting for someone before jumping, getting face wet, etc) when she's in the pool with us. She also loves all his songs and is always singing them. Thank you, John!

Madison J.

Hannah is THE BEST with my children! My 3 year old is confident swimming after a handful of instructions and she's amazing with my crazy 1 year old. Thank you for having Hannah!

Ashley L.

Quan has been awesome from the very beginning! He's nice, friendly and has adapted well to my sons reaction every single lesson and we saw great improvement only after a few lessons.

Melissa A.

We had a great experience with Sunsational Swim School. My 2 1/2 year old son loved his instructor Javier. He helped build his confidence in the water and made learning swim skills fun. We highly recommend.

Catherine V.

Communication from Sunsational was on point. They walked us thru every step and kindly made us aware of what would be happening. Our instructor, Mr Qaun, went beyond my expectations. The swim lessons were for my two boys aged 3 & 2. They were less than happy to get into the pool with a stranger. He was extremely patient, kind, and gentle with them every lesson. We signed up for the 6 lesson package and there has been a huge improvement in their confidence with swimming.

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Colton 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 Colton. 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 Colton, 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 Colton 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 Inland Empire, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Colton 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 Colton 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 Colton, 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 Inland Empire. 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 Colton, 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.
