Debbie is a wonderful instructor. My son is having fun and learning so much. He starts dancing when we tell him Debbie is on the way. He is 23 months old and we are so glad Debbie is his swim instructor.

AMBER H.

'Leilani has been wonderful to work with. My kids are comfortable with her, she is patient and kind and takes her time so everyone feels comfortable and confident in the water. We have been really happy with our swim lessons with Leilani and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great swim instructor!' - Lindsey O.

Lindsey O.

Awesome! He is not easy at times but, Leilani is always able to win my grandson over with her patience, bubbly personality and sense of humor. She constantly comes up with new and inventive ways to keep him engaged.

Rick W.

Leilani exceeded my expectations as a swim instructor. She was punctual, patient, and incredibly accommodating, with a clear depth of experience. What stood out most was her ability to gently and effectively redirect my strong-willed toddler, striking the perfect balance between instruction and fun. Her lessons were not only productive but also a joy for my child--truly worth every penny.

Kassey W.

Ms. Debbie has been fantastic with our boys. Our 3 year old now jumps in the deep end and swims across the pool. Their progress has been incredible to watch.

Amanda P.

Debbie is fabulous with our 2yr old. She is so patient and soft spoken. She has gotten him to exactly where we wanted.

GERRI C.

'Our experience has been great! From the sign up process and awaiting an instructor match, Sunsational Swim School was in constant contact and kept us up to date. And once we started working with Leilani, we knew this was going to be a success! Our daughter got more out of these lessons than ever before. Leilani was patient, kind and worked with a sometimes tired toddler who didn't have much interest. She was fantastic! It was just such an awesome experience, I would highly recommend Sunsational Swim School and Leilani to everyone.' LaTasha T.

Shelby is patient, kind and very informative. She showed us everything she was doing and had us do it with our 8 month old daughter too. This made us as well as our daughter feel very comfortable and at ease with her and the process. We’ve seen great progress already with our daughter’s ability to hold her breath and be comfortable in the water.

Dafene A.

So happy with the swim lessons. Coach Paul was patient and kind with our 2 & 3 girls who did not want to do many things. They definitely let everybody know how unhappy they were. Paul just kept reassuring they could do it and he would be there helping them. With in a couple of lessons they were putting their faces in the water, floating, kicking and laughing. Our 5 year old is now swimming like a fish. I can't believe she only had 6 lessons. I would highly recommend Sunsational Swim School!

Cherie H.

We are so very pleased with Apple and how she is with our 16 month old. Maddison absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she sees her coming to the pool. Our daughter has become more comfortable in the pool and is moving along well with her lessons thanks to Apple's instruction. We look forward to every lesson to see how Maddie progresses!

Melissa H.

Darcee has been great with my 1 and 3 year old boys! They are making huge strides and we are so grateful for her work and patience with them both!

Highly satisfied with Ella and would like to have her continue teach when we are ready to come back!'

Diana B.

Javed was excellent with my 2 year old twins! They were afraid of the water and by the end of the session they were very comfortable and able to put their heads under without screaming. He was really kind and patient. I definitely recommend Javed and Sunsational Swim

richard m.

Morgan is the best! Flexible, knowledgeable, dependable and so fun! My enthusiastic 2.5 year old swimmer was already very brave in the water and Morgan was able to keep up with her and help her learn so many skills! The puddle jumper had my little one use to swimming up right and Morgan totally changed that! My girl can not only swim from the wall to me(not super super far but far!) but she can jump in the water and turn around and swim back to the wall! Can't recommend them enough!

Clara A.

I love Amanda! Kids love Amanda! She’s so good with the kids and so patient. 10/10 recommend - Drew Files

Drew F.

'Alissa is fantastic, she works so well with both of my kids, it's incredible. I truly can't believe the progress they've made in only 12 lessons. My 3 year old is swimming on his own with zero assistance and my one year old is no longer scared of the water and is starting to make her way to the edge when she 'falls' in. My son has Autism so it's very difficult for him to focus on one task, but Alissa keeps him engaged the full time and he has so much fun at the same time! Highly recommend' -Courtney F.

Courtney F.

Kirk has been great with our 2.5 yo son. He's so patient and really understands what it takes to communicate with a child his age. It's been a great experience to watch my son learn and experience new things in the water with his instructor.

kimberly p.

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.

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Largo 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 impossible to watch over your children every second. Most daycare facilities have pool or splash days during the summer or have field trips that include water fun. Children can drown in less than 1 inch of water, particularly if the person is under the age of 4. Swimming lessons help decrease the risk of drowning.

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 and successful 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 swimming lessons is to reduce the chance of accidental drowning, but it can’t guarantee to prevent it completely. Even if your little one was the star of the class, you should still be vigilant in your supervision to ensure that the water provides positive experiences 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 Largo. 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 Largo, 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 Largo 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 Tampa, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Largo 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 Largo 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 Largo, 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 Tampa. 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 Largo, 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.
