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.

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.

We are only three lessons in toddler swim lessons. Our main goal is to get her comfortable in the pool and water, Christa is the most kind, patient instructor we could imagine. My toddler was in tears the majority first lesson, but Christa was patient and so great with her. Having our daughter learn in an environment she is comfortable with has been wonderful, I would highly recommend Christa and Sunsational to anyone.

He talks about Gina in between his lessons and is so excited for every lesson. She is teaching him how to be safe around the water as well as teaching the parents and grandparents how to teach him to swim! He's learning various skills and I already see a difference!

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.

We have been doing swim lessons with Amber for a couple of months now and she is amazing. My nephew is 8 and improved his skills and abilities swimming by leaps and bounds. My 2 1/2 year old has come along way with getting more comfortable with the water. Blowing bubbles, going under water, kicking his legs, floating on his back and monkey crawling. She is great with both ages and I’d highly recommend her.

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.

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Estrella 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 not always possible to watch your child every second, and water is often part of everyday life—from bathtubs and backyard pools to beaches, splash pads, and family outings. Young children can be at risk around even small amounts of water, especially infants & toddlers under 5. Swimming lessons can help children build comfort in the water and begin developing important water safety skills as part of a broader approach to drowning prevention.

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 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 swim lessons is to help build comfort in the water and introduce foundational water safety skills, which may help reduce the chance of accidental drowning as part of a broader approach to water safety. This includes active supervision, pool fences and barriers, alarms, and other safety measures, but risk can never be eliminated completely. Even if your little one was the star of the class, it’s important to remain vigilant with supervision to help ensure positive and safe experiences in and around the water for years to come.

Sunsational Vetted Since 2025

Hi, my name is Lisette, but the kids call me Liz. I have been teaching swim lessons since January 2010. I am certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid. I am an advocate for water safety and truly enjoy teaching little ones to love the water. As a competitive swimmer through high school and into college, I have taught many children from ages 6 months to senior age. It gives me great pleasure to see a child I have taught to swim grow to be parents and actually bring their children back to me to teach their child to swim. What an honor! I am a highly experienced swimming instructor with a passion for fitness and helping others reach their goals, making the parents or family know they are in good hands. I am dedicated to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for swimmers of all ages and skill levels.

Hello, my name is Brynley. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Business Marketing and recently obtained my EMT Certification. While pursuing a career as a firefighter, I want to dedicate my extra time to teaching children how to stay safe around water. Having started swimming at four years old, I am passionate and want to share that joy. As a lifeguard, I taught swim lessons to children ages 3-10 and adults. I look forward to a safe and enjoyable summer at the pool!

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 Estrella 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 Estrella 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 Estrella 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 Estrella 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 Estrella 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 Estrella Village, 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 Phoenix. 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 Estrella 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.
