Why our students and parents love us!

5-star rated by parents and swimmers alike

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!

'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!

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!

Got questions?

We have answers. What makes private lessons better than group classes?

We are so confident in our private, one-on-one instruction that we offer a Learn-to-Swim Guarantee for all students ages 3 and up!* We guarantee your child will be able to resurface, turn around, swim back to the edge of the pool and grab the wall unassisted after they complete their Learn to Swim Guaranteed package. If your child completes their lesson package and hasn't achieved the agreed-upon milestones, we'll work with you to provide up to 4 additional lessons at no extra cost until they do. This program is our commitment to building a foundation of safety and confidence for your child in the water.

Our pricing is transparent and based on the swim lesson package you choose. Packages are available in 6, 12 and 18 lessons with options for 30-minute, 60-minute or longer sessions for multiple students back-to-back. Every package includes a certified, background-checked instructor who comes to your home or preferred pool. Because lessons are private and personalized, you’ll see faster progress and greater value compared to group classes. Start a registration to build a package and see an exact, no-hassle price on options best for your goals and budget.

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.

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 Leesburg or across South Bay. 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. Many also have specialized experience working with infants, toddlers, special needs learners, or adults overcoming fear of water. In Leesburg, where backyard pools, community centers make swimming skills essential, you can trust that your instructor is not only qualified but passionate about building water confidence and safety in every student.

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.

We stand by the quality of our instructors and offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. While we are confident in our rigorous selection process (all instructors are background-checked and CPR-certified), we want you to have the perfect match. If you're not completely satisfied with your first lesson, just let us know, and we'll restart your lessons with a new instructor or refund your unused lessons, your choice.

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.

Our swim instructors travel to your home or community pool. Learn to Swim Guaranteed
