'Julia has been great with our 21 month old. We were a little worried with how our daughter would do with lessons but Julia makes it fun and sings and plays with her as they go. She looks forward to her coming each week. We have seen a lot of progress after just 10 lessons.'

First and most importantly, my son could not swim at all and now he can. His kicks and strokes are unbeliebanle. He can pull himself to safety. Now he wants to swim every day. Summer is an amazing instructor - absolutely first rare. She's easy to deal with, kind, patient, and clearly knows what she's doing.

Janelle is our teacher to Elliot who is a 2 year old boy. She is AMAZING! She is super fun and he is so comfortable with her. He has learned so much already and floats on his own. She also teaches Elliot to ALWAYS ask before getting in the pool and now he will do the same with us when we are getting ready to go swimming. Thanks Janelle for taking great care of our Elliot.

'Rachel was so kind and the perfect instructor for our 15month old. She also was flexible when there was the inevitable illness. Highly recommend.' Hannah Lieberman

Hannah L.

Cherise has worked well with our son. She has been patient with working with him. Due to him having Autism she had a challenge getting him to understand but I have seen great progress with him. I only wish she had a little more experience with kids with Autism. This was one of my requests when I signed up. We went ahead and completed the session as we wanted him to learn to swim she did a good job with him.

Denise K.

Grace, our instructor was so amazing and patient with our two year old and really taught good technique in swimming. We were very pleased.

Caitlin T.

Just wanted to drop a line to tell you just how pleased I am with the progress my 18 month old granddaughter, Macie, has made in the swimming lessons. Her teacher, Gina, has been absolutely wonderful. She is so upbeat and patient, even when Macie has been grumpy. She has always been able to get Macie in the mood for swimming! Gina is friendly and professional; and I now count her among my friends. Thank you, Gina, for a job well done!

Nicole B.

My 2 year old didn't like the water until Mary! Now is she is asking to go swimming everyday twice a day! Mary was so good with her as my girl screamed and would sometimes pinch her. Mary would sing, talk to her and gently teach her little things . . . as a mother I completely trusted Mary from the start and now I have a little girl that likes water . . . thank you!

kortni l.

Loved our instructor, Maddie! Enrollment and coordination was very easy. Once lessons began I only heard from Sunsational one additional time, which might not be ideal for some but I had no issues so not really a complaint. Love the skills chart! Wish there was a guide I could follow to know exactly what the instructor was supposed to cover but each student is different. My 2.5 took 12 lessons, and although she's very mature she still did not 'learn' how to swim. I'm curious to know how the guarantee would work if she were 3 years old.

Whitney L.

'Naomi has been amazing! She is beyond great with our 2 year old and super flexible. The communication with her and with Sunsational swim school has been made the experience even better. 10/10 would and have recommended.'

We have been super impressed with Meghan. Our girls have taken to her so well and have already learned so much within just three lessons. We will definitely recommend her to our friends.

Lindsay D.

Jen is a great swim instructor. She is very patient, helpful and gentle with our toddler. Her approach helped our son go from being terrified in the water to jumping in the pool with confidence. Our little guy enjoys and looks forward to his swim lessons every week.

Veronika A.

'Our swim instructor, Alexis, is amazing and our son loves her. He normally takes time to warm up to people, but he went right to her. He is learning so much and getting better each lesson!' Shealee G.

ANCA M.

Madisen was a fantastic teacher for our 2 and 3 year old boys; their progress was amazing! We feel so much safer around the water and their confidence has made being in pool so fun. They can’t wait to show us what they learned. I would love to have her come back next year. - Tracy Rhoades

Tracy R.

Jenna was amazing! Kids loved her, their skills improved and I would definitely book with her again!

Nicole C.

Sunsational was well organized, fast and sent me two quality swim instructors who arrived on time to each lesson. The first one was also highly qualified but didn't seem to have as much experience with my son's age as he didn't want to do 3/4 lessons with her. But the second one, Melissa, was fantastic with my 2 year old. She knows how to communicate at his level to make the lesson seem like fun play. She is energetic, sweet, knows how to communicate at his level to make the lesson seem like fun play. She is energetic, sweet, lively and has the overall good vibe you want someone to have around your kids. My son was excitedly anticipating his next lesson with her and all her fun props.

Nicole J.

'Adrienne is wonderful! She always arrives on time and starts and ends each lesson as scheduled. I think my almost 2yo twins had some PTSD from ISR last season but they warmed to Adrienne quickly and now love the water! I highly recommend Adrienne!' - Shannon L.

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Encanto Village 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 Encanto Village. 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 Encanto Village, 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 Encanto Village 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 Phoenix, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Encanto Village 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 Encanto Village 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 Encanto Village, 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 Encanto Village, 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.
