Moorpark, California 93021
Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hello! My name is Chloe Cheevers, a current Division I college swimmer. I have been swimming since February 2015, hence my passion for teaching lessons. I believe water safety is very important, so being able to help is my main goal. I first learned how to swim when I was two years old, and lets just say I did not like the water at that time, so I understand how some kids feel. As time went on, I went from hating the water to getting very excited to swim. My main strokes are breaststroke, freestyle, and IM. I love making sure that my students are comfortable with me and, overall, learn how to be safe in the water. I change the plans based on how ready each student is, so each student has a different plan. I cant wait to teach your kids how to swim!

Calabasas, California 91302
Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
Hi, Im Matt! Im originally from Maryland and grew up in a swimming family. I swam competitively on a club team and my communitys summer team, where I also discovered my passion for teaching. In high school, I worked in the water with younger swimmers as a junior coach. I continued coaching through college, working my way up to eventually becoming the head assistant coach. Ive coached swimmers ages 4 to 18 and spent a few of those summers giving private lessons to new swimmers. After some time away, Ive jumped back in the water and am excited to return to what I love most teaching. My approach is swimmer-centric because every child learns differently. Im results-driven, but above all, I believe learning to swim should be fun!

Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
Hi there! I'm Jaci, CPR-certified with over 5 years of experience as a lifeguard and private swim instructor working with kids and teens aged 5-18. Right now, I'm studying clinical psychology in graduate school, which means I understand how kids learn and grow both in and out of the pool. This helps me create lessons that are not only fun but also tailored to each child's stage of development. I believe swimming is about more than just strokes; it's about building confidence, feeling comfortable in the water, and having fun while doing it! Whether you're just starting out or want to sharpen your skills, my lessons focus on making every minute enjoyable, encouraging, and safe. I'm excited to help you discover the joy of water and swimming!

Hi there! My name is Joe. I started taking swim lessons at five years old and later decided to pay forward the valuable skills my swim teachers gave me.

I love seeing kids confidence grow as they learn, their personality shining through and smiles coming to their faces. Ive taught swim lessons since February 2022 and have become a certified lifeguard, which has cemented my belief in the great importance of knowing how to swim; its a skill that doesnt just make pool time fun, but can save lives. Hope to see you at the pool soon!

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 Hidden Valley 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.

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.
