'Meagan is such a pleasure to work with. She is kind, gentle, and so knowledgeable about swim and children. We are so lucky to have her as our swim coach. Our child has gotten so confident and comfortable in the water thanks to her!' -Bri Willett

Bri W.

Aimee is super friendly and does great with little ones. Her energy is very conducive to their happiness.

Taylor H.

Caryn has been an awesome swim instructor- great with my baby Jack and getting him comfortable with being in the water and flexible/great communicator with schedule changes.

Emily M.

Suzanne was great! Patient, informative, and very flexible given that kids are unpredictable. I really found value in her lessons.

Whitney S.

Bry was AMAZING! I still am not sure how it's possible she taught one of my three year old twins to swim in less than 3 sessions. She is so good with my kids and seems to really enjoy what she does. If you are in Orlando I would highly recommend Bry for your children!

Hurley C.

Juliana is great. My daughter loves her and looks forward to swim lessons. She’s super patient on days where my daughter gives resistance. We are optimistic for great results once our lessons complete.

Shaina D.

We’ve had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kasen! Our two-year-old granddaughter has made incredible progress in the water thanks to her patient, skilled, and encouraging teaching style. It’s amazing to see how comfortable and confident she has become in such a short time. Kasen knows exactly how to connect with young children, balancing fun with safety and structure. Every lesson is engaging, and our granddaughter looks forward to them with excitement. We’ve seen noticeable improvement in her ability to float, kick, and hold her breath — all thanks to the consistent, caring instruction she’s received. We feel so grateful to have found someone so professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Highly recommend to any parent or grandparent looking to give their little one a strong, safe start in swimming!

Virgina M.

Marianela Marquina has been amazing!! She is awesome at getting my little guy to do things I never knew a baby could do in the water. He gets so excited to see her every week! it's worth every penny knowing my baby is safe with our backyard pool. Call and ask for Marianela!!

Charity H.

Coach Karen was wonderful with my two children! I was nervous with my 10 month old so she let me participate in the class to help the baby be more comfortable in the water. My 4.5 year old is very opinionated and once coach's Karen figured out his personality he flourished. He is comfortable in our own pool and wants to swim everyday! Thank you coach Karen! With everything going on in the world having someone come to us and not having to take the kids out it was so nice!

Vanessa R.

'We used Jen while we were on vacation to teach our son to swim. We made exceptional progress in just one week. She was great with him and we highly recommend her!' -Nikki M.

Our kids have enjoyed their swim lessons with Mr. Martin, the instructor paired with us through Sunsational. They have progressed so much this summer and we are loving seeing them enjoy the water.

Hannah H.

Jennifer is great with communication! My daughter enjoyed her time spent with her. She is always kind and made sure my 2.5 year old was comfortable. My daughter has gained so many skills and we appreciate Jennifer for all she does!

Bianca B.

Edith has been amazing with our son. He is a little over a year old and her patience and calmness with him shows everyday.

He is always excited when he sees her for his lessons! Thank you Edith!

'Rachelle is fabulous at what she does!!! My son & I love her. She is super helpful and accommodating with our schedule. I really look forward to working with her in the spring after the pool temperatures warm up. We've paused our lessons for the time being only because it's been too cold in the pool. We love Rachelle!!!' - Kristin S.

Kristin S.

We had a wonderful experience with coach Ryan! My toddler felt comfortable right away, and their patience and playful teaching style made every lesson fun. We’ve already seen such great progress and confidence in the water. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a caring and skilled swimming instructor for little ones!

Grazia S.

Caryn is absolutely amazing! She is punctual, but most importantly, she is an excellent swimming instruction. From the very first class, our 1.5 yr old daughter, Sofia, learned skills that we could not get her to learn in group lessons. After 6 classes, Sofia can monkey crawl along our pool, float on her own, and knows the basic swimming skills that make me feel more comfortable her being around our pool. We will definitely contact Caryn next swimming season!

ALEXANDER S.

What a great experience. We loved Coach Amy! My son was excited everyday that she came. She is amazing with the little ones and so patient. We were lucky to be matched with her.

Antoinette E.

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Heathrow 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.

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 Heathrow. 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 Heathrow, 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 Heathrow 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 Orlando, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Heathrow 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 Heathrow 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 Heathrow, 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 Orlando. 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 Heathrow, 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.
