Emory is a great teacher--very patient and yet focused on helping our 3-year-old granddaughter achieve specific goals. Our granddaughter looks forward to Emory's visits and has made tremendous progress, learning to hold her breath underwater and actually swimming for longer and longer distances with each visit.

We had a wonderful experience with our instructor Stephanie S! She was always prompt, reliable, and very flexible with our changing schedule. Stephanie was incredibly patient with our kids (ages 4, 2, and a baby). She made every session fun and safe, helping our children feel comfortable and confident in the water. We highly recommend Stephanie to any family looking for a swim instructor who’s professional, kind, and truly great with kids!

Miles has been the perfect swim teacher in every way!! He is patient and calm when dealing with scared and/or cranky toddlers, and helps them feel empowered and safe. We feel so lucky to be working with him. 10/10!

Emily L.

'Marcela was great to work with! She was very patient with our 2 year old. I am happy our little girl feels comfortable in the water. I would definitely recommend Marcela.' Angela Lanza

Shacara is an excellent swim instructor. She taught out 3 1/2 year and 20-month-old grandchildren. Her personality is great for young kids and she dealt with their individual personalities so well. Her instruction included toys and play that kept them interested, and they made very good progress through the twelve-week course. They both love the water and we are continuing to build on what they learned.

This was our second summer using Sunsational for swim instruction and we couldn't be happier. Our daughter (3 yrs old) and son (14 mos) enjoyed their time spent with Lisa M. Our daughter went from wearing a back-floatie to diving down for treasures on the pool floor. She learned the basics of several swim strokes and Lisa did a fabulous job of navigating toddler emotions with her creative adventure stories. Our son was hesitant to go to Lisa at first so she showed me several things we could do together to get him more comfortable in the water. By the end of the summer (when we were 16 mos), he was holding onto the edge of the pool, climbing up the stairs to get out, and keeping his mouth closed underwater. Will hope to connect with Lisa M. for next summer - she had the best way with the kids!

Lisa V.

Carla is a fantastic swim instructor! She worked very well with two 3 year olds and they came really for in their swim and safety skills in a short amount of time. Carla was always punctual and communicated regularly. She has been a pleasure to work with and now we can be sure the kids are safe around the pool!

Gary C.

'Sunsational made it easy to sign up for private swim lessons, and had reasonable options for how many lessons we'd prefer. Once we were place with our swim instructor we just communicated directly with her. Jess was awesome! So glad we got to work with her. She worked so well with our 2.5 year old. He went from hating having his face underwater to jumping right into the pool! Looking forward to working with her again during future swim seasons at our pool. Seriously couldn't recommend her enough!' - Kadie P.

Kadie P.

Carmella Bruno Elmer is fantastic!! Our 2.5 year old twins had the pleasure of 4 lessons with her this last summer and they absolutely loved the 1-on-1 attention with Ms. Carmella. She was super engaged with them and had a fantastic lesson plan each visit. she even brought toys that the kiddos looked forward to each visit

Heather is friendly, professional and she does a great job keeping my 2 year old daughter interested in what she is learning. My daughter has already learned so much in only 2 lessons. Having my child learn the necessary skills to become a good swimmer in a pool she is comfortable using and without the distraction of other children is great. I would highly recommend Heather and Sunsational Swim School!

We had an incredible experience with Andrew Fowler! Our 22 month old was touch and go with water in general but it's amazing to see the changes in comfort level and skill that six 30 minute lessons made! Andrew was so patient, animated and engaging with our son. He went above and beyond with tht time he spent with us and shared multiple tips and tricks to use when he's not around so we can continue his lessons. Sunsational Swim School was also great and prompt in matching us and accommodating our very picky schedule. Highly recommend!

Aliya I.

Sunsational worked very hard to find an instructor for my grandchildren late in the summer. They sent Dave, who was just phenomenal with a three-year-old boy and a two-year-old girl. He had tremendous patience, made the lessons fun, yet the children were taught real skills. They both had huge smiles on their faces throughout all the lessons. I would definitely ask for Dave again when I purchase another package next summer. And I thank Sunsational for wisely choosing such a competent, and talented instructor for me.

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Leesburg 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.

I think Amy is great. I am terrified of water and she is very patient and helps me overcome these fears. I am a senior and started swimming lessons several times before but could not overcome the fear of water and as a result did not continue. With Amy it is different, she encourages me to try and is excited when I do well. I can float by myself, stand up and lost the fear of water. I am so happy to be in the water and feel comfortable. I still have a long way to go before I can do laps in the pool but I am looking forward to that day and I am convinced and motivated that I can reach that goal. - Ellen C.

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 Leesburg. 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 Leesburg, 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 Leesburg 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 San Francisco South Bay, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Leesburg 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 Leesburg 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 Leesburg, 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 San Francisco South Bay. In some areas, we even have some swim instructors who can provide a pool for your lessons.

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 Leesburg, 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.
