Marianela continuously goes above and beyond! Her passion shines through and we could not be happier. My husband and I have learned so much, all thanks to her knowledge. She is patient and naturally fantastic with our 9-month-old son. We look forward to continuing our lessons with her throughout next year!

Valerie M.

Marinella is fantastic with our 2-year-old! She knows exactly how to push JUST enough to keep her growing and becoming more comfortable in the water, without her becoming scared or overwhelmed! She makes the whole lesson seen like playtime while still teaching her the basics of swimming. We couldn't be happier with Marinella! -Nate D.

Sylena was great with our 1 year old. She made it fun and simple for her but also for us to learn skills to continue to help our daughter develop in the water. Communication was easy with her and we were able to reschedule many times due to the weather. We highly recommend Sylena!

Ashleigh M.

My daughter had swimming lessons with Marianela and we loved them! She learned how to hold her breath underwater in just a day and by the end of the week she was grabbing toys from the bottom of the pool. Marianela was very patient with her and knew how to keep my daughter entertained. My daughter was laughing the whole class! I really recommend Marianela if you want your children to learn while having fun.

María F.

'We had an incredible experience!! Julia was our swim instructor and was able to come to our house to teach our almost 2 year old how to be safe in and around the pool. He is now almost able to swim to the side and get to the stairs safely, whereas before he would have been afraid! Julia was so kind and very patient with our son. She was awesome! Highly recommend Sunsational Swim School!!' - Annah T.

We love Marianela who has been giving lessons to our 10-month-old daughter. She is patient, warm, and knows when to push and when to just let our daughter have fun. She has made great progress in a short period of time which I couldn't believe such a young child. We recommend Marianela 100%!

Batya G.

Marianela, is an awesome swim instructor and does amazing with my 11 month old. She's patient, calm, and encouraging. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you Marianela for being so awesome!

NaQueshia M.

My father in law bought lessons for our 2 year old son, Maximus. He swims like a fish now and his instructor, Amy is amazing. She's so friendly and enthusiastic. Our son was engaged the entire time he was in the pool. He got small prizes and a certificate after he achieved expected results. Will recommend to our friends. Amy is the best! Thanks Sunsational!!

Harry P.

Because of the pandemic, we decided to do private swim lessons in my pool! Nela is great!!! Marianela Marquina is so patient and focused with a plethora of information for parents and grandparents. Nela was here 3 times a week all summer and my grandson was loving his lessons. Now we have a new addition and looking forward to getting him started with Nela soon as the water warms up.

Laurie S.

Christina was a great swim teacher for our 18mo old daughter. It was her first experience with swimming and Christina was very patient and made her feel very comfortable from the first lesson. She made swimming fun and my daughter loved seeing her & getting in the pool.

Tami L.

They connected us to a great isntructor in Miami, Florida. Bryan was amazing and super kind to our baby.

Noelia J.

William has been an excellent instructor for our two-year-old son. He's very motivational and patient. Our son was initially nervous about going under water during his lessons. Now, he looks forward to retrieving swim rings, etc. from under water. Since he started his lessons, he has become much more confident in the pool. He now gets so excited whenever he gets to go swimming.

Andrea A.

'Sunsational Swim School matched us with Julia for my 2 year old. She has done great with him! He knows to kick to and grab the wall, and we're working on advanced breathing skills. He is picky with his teachers and has really liked working with Julia. 100% would recommend. Added bonus they come to us which has worked great for my busy schedule!'

Sara B.

Shannon is terrific! She is great with the children, imparts safety protocols as part of her lessons, and even had my three-year old doing proper arm strokes on her first lesson (which was something we had tried to get her to do for over a year.)

Stephanie V.

Marianela (Nela) Marquina, increíble y paciente con mis dos hijos. Mis hijos cofían en ella, y realmente disfrutaron su tiempo con ella. Ella es increíble y no podríamos estar más agradecidos. Gracias Marianela!

Natalia B.

Courtney is teaching my 2.5 year old twins to swim at our pool. Both kids look forward to their lessons and we can see improvement in skills and confidence in the pool with each lesson. I feel like they are developing a great foundation for a lifetime of swimming.

Sofia Y.

We love our instructor, Marianela! She is very patient with our 2 1/2-year-old son and he has learned so much with her in just 5 sessions. We are impressed he is already swimming underwater to the wall and we couldn't be happier so far with his progress. Thank you!!

Danielle S.

Christina has been very accommodating to our schedule and very patient with my 1.5 yr old daughter trying to warm up to her. She provides age appropriate lessons. We are very pleased with our experience so far and would def recommend her

June K.

'Julia did an EXCEPTIONAL JOB!!! She was patient, adapted to my 11month olds moods when he was tired, created a welcoming pool environment, set clear expectations for his age, and was knowledgeable. What I enjoyed most was her pleasant attitude and her flexibility due to weather and our short time frame while we were visiting Florida. Thanks again Julia! When we come back we'll call you if you're available!!' -Olivia Holland

OLIVIA H.

Niola is AMAZING! Always on time if not a few minutes early! Developed a trusting friendship with my child very quickly. Very good at reading my child's needs emotionally and would adapt lessons... [read full review](https://biz.yelp.com/r2r/DHq998gAKmjEYgpxFccbtg/review/jIQGCx1oxtwNL_VVE4XDLg)

Sunsational has been great in helping us match with a great teacher for our toddler!

Darshan S.

Can't say enough about Marianela! My son loved her! She was early every lesson and was never rushed to leave. The progress my son has made is truly remarkable. Thank you Marianela for being so wonderful. I'd recommend Sunsational Swim, especially Marianela to anyone.

Christina K.

'We had a great experience with Julia. My 2 year old can now swim and grab the wall on her own and “monkey crawl” safely to the stairs. She looked forward to her lessons and absolutely loved Julia.' - Billee F.

Billee F.

This swim school is excellent! My two year old daughter has basically learned the basics of how to swim in 6 classes. Marianela was our instructor and she was very knowledgeable and great with kids. She was punctual and very flexible with her schedule. I definitely recommend!

Vianka P.

Our swim instructor was Adrian (Aquaman). He was great with our 1.5 yr old. He personalized the lessons and approach depending on what my son was receptive to. My son started learning skills from the first lesson. Adrian tried incorporating different pool toys/tools to see what my son would be comfortable with and to aid in learning. The majority of the lessons focused on drowning prevention and survival skills in the pool, and I feel like we made great strides in helping my little one be safer in the water.

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Hollywood 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.

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 Hollywood, 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 Hollywood 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 Miami, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Hollywood is certified in CPR and insured under our company liability insurance policy. What's more, every Sunsational Swim instructor has previous teaching experience, and most have at least of 2 seasons of professional aquatic 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 Hollywood 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 Hollywood, 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 Miami. 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 Hollywood, 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.
