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

I am so glad that I finally signed my son up for private swim lessons! Sunsational Swim School has been super convenient and very professional. Not to mention the swim instructor is amazing! She has such a great personality and you can tell she has a lot of experience with the little ones. My 3 year old has so much fun during his lessons. We are 8 lessons in and he is already swimming, floating, and climbing out of the pool all on his own. I would definitely recommend Margot and Sunsational Swim School.- Toni P.

Throughout my childhood, I spent many summer days at the beach, resulting in my love for the water. I have been lifeguarding for three years now. I have lifeguarded residentially, at a swim school, and I'm currently a lifeguard at Lagoonfest Texas. As the oldest child myself, I love spending time with children. During my most recent off-season, I started teaching swim lessons to ages 6 months-12 years and fell in love with teaching.
