Why our students and parents love us!

5-star rated by parents and swimmers alike

Ebony has been a great instructor for both my girls. She is very patient with them but also pushes them to go out of their comfort zones. The girls love her and the way she makes learning fun for them. We appreciate how she has been very respectful with communication and always being on time.

'Savannah is amazing and the most patient with my baby! We love her! She is always on time, reliable and communicates with us through everything. I was scared of swim lessons but she made it super fun and easy. My daughter isnt the easiest to deal with but Savannah makes it look so easy. Grateful we have her on this journey.'

We got matched with Kate as an instructor and she's been awesome! She's flexible, easy-going and sweet. She's taught our two year old so much already. She's easy to get along with and most importantly she's confident. She knows what she's doing and we know our daughter is in good hands. She is gentle in her teaching but firm in making sure each session is productive. We would recommend her to anyone looking for swim lessons!

Highly recommend Jacques to anyone needing private swim lessons! Jacques has a special knack with children when they might need just a little more courage, a little more patience, and a lot of understanding! Jacques was very flexible as far as when I had to reschedule last minute, (on more than one occasion... ) Jacques is really a special kind of guy.... He really cares about the kids he works with. Any family would be lucky to have him teach your little ones to swim and make it fun!

'John's a great instructor. He has been very patient with both my kids (1.5 and 3.5 yes old). The kids have made a lot of progress and are much more comfortable in the water than before. He makes learning tinswim fun for the kids. I highly recommend him as an instructor!' -Duminda S

'Aracely was so sweet and patient with my three little ones in the pool. They are 1 yr, 2 yrs and 3 yrs old and all very different personalities and she was able to help them each on an individual level helping them gain their confidence and learn safety in the water. She taught them how to close their mouth in the water, scoop, kick, and hold on to the edge of the pool...we called it the monkey walk. She brought toys, cups, a safety float, and a bar float. She made learning fun with games and lots of praise. We are so happy with the results. I know my little ones will be floating and swimming in no time as we continue to practice what she taught us.' - Ashley Y.

'Milan is an expert swim instructor. My grandchildren were here for 2 weeks and I wanted them to get swim lessons. Milan is very skilled at working with young children. She is very patient, but also persistent in solidifying those basic skills. I would highly recommend Milan, and hope to have her back next summer.' Terri Lovell

Got questions?

We have answers. What makes private lessons better than group classes?

We are so confident in our private, one-on-one instruction that we offer a Learn-to-Swim Guarantee for all students ages 3 and up!* We guarantee your child will be able to resurface, turn around, swim back to the edge of the pool and grab the wall unassisted after they complete their Learn to Swim Guaranteed package. If your child completes their lesson package and hasn't achieved the agreed-upon milestones, we'll work with you to provide up to 4 additional lessons at no extra cost until they do. This program is our commitment to building a foundation of safety and confidence for your child in the water.

Our pricing is transparent and based on the swim lesson package you choose. Packages are available in 6, 12 and 18 lessons with options for 30-minute, 60-minute or longer sessions for multiple students back-to-back. Every package includes a certified, background-checked instructor who comes to your home or preferred pool. Because lessons are private and personalized, you’ll see faster progress and greater value compared to group classes. Start a registration to build a package and see an exact, no-hassle price on options best for your goals and budget.

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 Golden Hill, our instructors teach year-round, so you can start lessons whenever you’re ready.

Our core service is providing private, at-home swim lessons. Your trained instructor travels to your home pool, community pool or aquatic facility anywhere in Golden Hill or across San Diego County. If you don't have a pool, our instructors are happy to meet you at any safe, local pool of your choosing. If using a facility pool, be sure to have authorization to have your Private Swim Lessons there.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational swim instructor is rigorously vetted with comprehensive background checks and is certified in CPR and first aid, and insured under our company insurance policy. Our instructors have a minimum of 2 seasons of teaching experience before being certified. Many also have specialized experience working with infants, toddlers, special needs learners, or adults overcoming fear of water. In Golden Hill, where backyard pools, community pools, beaches make swimming skills essential, you can trust that your instructor is not only qualified but passionate about building water confidence and safety in every student.

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 Golden Hill, 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.

We stand by the quality of our instructors and offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. While we are confident in our rigorous selection process (all instructors are background-checked and CPR-certified), we want you to have the perfect match. If you're not completely satisfied with your first lesson, just let us know, and we'll restart your lessons with a new instructor or refund your unused lessons, your choice.

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.
