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

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.

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.
