'We have a great instructor, very knowledgeable and friendly with our daughter we would definitely recommend her to friends and relatives interested in swim lessons.' Adrian M.

I am so glad I chose to get my about to be 2 year old swim lessons. I wasn't sure if she was ready or how she would respond and I am so glad I just went for it. Our instructor John is AMAZING. My daughter took to him immediately and he was engaging and made the lessons fun. I wasn't sure what to expect but I am blown away we bought a 12 lesson package and will do more after that if the weather is still good. I love that he comes to us it makes my daughter more comfortable and I don't have to worry about distraction. The one on one really pays for itself. Prices are totally reasonable, but you can't really put a price on safety. Definitely recommending Sunsantional to all the other moms I know. You don't have to have a pool, just access to one and you can do your kids together if you have multiple children.

Sarah was instrumental in helping my 16 month old learn to hold her breathe and swim. She made my daughter feel comfortable and weaved in fun play to keep my daughter engaged. Being that she’s 16 months we will have to consistently practice her new learned skills to improve on them but without Sarah we wouldn’t be where we are today. She also helped her learn to kick and crab crawl for safety. I highly recommend Sarah.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Coach Jazz was wonderful with the kids. Super patient and had a great technique of repetition that really got the kids comfortable and improving

Diana S.

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!

MAGDA A.

John was very patient and understanding as my toddler got through the first few days of getting to know him. We are now half way through our lessons and she is really enjoying her time with him.

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.

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.

Ms. Chelsey was great she handled my 2 toddlers with patience and care. Chelsey was always on time and pleasant she also was flexible with our lessons. I was very pleased with my kids progress and would definitely recommend Ms. Chelsey.

Paul S.

The instructor Kristin is excellent with working with my child to help him gain confidence and learn to swim! She is patient yet authoritative with my three year old. If he can't focus on one task she changes it up to something different so he is constantly learning and challenging him with new things. My son was timid to get in the pool at first but now looks forward to his lessons! He respects her as a teacher yet thinks of her as a friend.

Melissa H.

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.

Satej is such a great instructor! our kids enjoy the lessons with him and have learned so much. our 2 year old has made significant leaps with his comfort level in the pool, and the other two are excelling. highly recommend him!

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Covina 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 Covina. 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 Covina, 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 Covina 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 Los Angeles, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Covina 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 Covina 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 Covina, you do not need to have a pool to register for our 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 Covina, we'll do our best to accommodate.

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.
