Quy was a great instructor. He was super patient and flexible with my unpredictable 16-month-old. There was noticeable progress from week to week. Quy was both professional and personable. I'd recommend him to anyone with an especially young swimmer.

Sandra was wonderful working with our toddler. She made it fun for him while he learned a lot and got really comfortable in the water. We would highly recommend her.

Stephanie C.

Our instructor Savannah is incredibly talented and amazing with my son. He is only 23 months and hasn't been in the water much. I don't know how she did it but within a few lessons he is blowing bubbles, totally comfortable submerging underwater and floating on his back. Savannah has been on time, easy to coordinate with, pleasant to be around. She knows her stuff. My son loves her and feels very safe under her instruction.

Suzanne was incredible with my boy. Very patient and positive. My son was 2 years 5 months and now 2 years 8 months and we have completed 16 of 18 lessons. He has made so much progress. He is the size of a 4-5 year old yet only 2, so not quite swimming on his own but very close. I will work with him over the Fall and when he is 3 definitely sign up for lessons again. Great experience, comes to your pool, one on one lessons and very flexible. Highly recommend Sunsational and Suzanne.

Thomas C.

Our instructor Suzie has been great and patient with our 2 year 7 month old son. After 8 lessons he has improved so much and we are confident by lesson 18 he will be floating and swimming on his own.

Christina did such a wonderful job with my 2-year-old! She came up with great ways to keep him interested and to adapt swim skills that fit his age level. She was fun, engaging, and skilled. I highly recommend Sunsational Swim School and Christina!

Marcelo was great!! Our son learned to flip on his back and float and he's not even 2 yet! We are very pleased with the life saving skills he was taught.

We have loved the 1-1 fun & learning with Grant Still. He has a great attitude even when my crazy 3 year old is splashing him in the face. He has taught him skills and created a level of excitement about swimming for my son. We have all thoroughly enjoyed the time and care put into each lesson.

Talia is great with our 20 mo old! She has patience, on time, has a plan and is very accommodating. - Ashley Ellinwood

Kailey was a great instructor to our Benjamin. We had lessons ahead of a family trip and it gave him the confidence we were hoping for to make all the pool and beaches we visited a fun and enjoyable experience. He is now almost fully able to swim by himself and just turned 3. We will continue with the lessons as Kailey makes it fun while encouraging the development we would expect from professional lessons. Thanks!

Grant Still was an amazing teacher for my 3 yo son! He was very patient, kept the classes positive, and had a great balance of keeping the class fun yet instructional. He was easy to reach and communicate with between classes and always on time. We would definitely recommend Grant and plan to use him again in the future!

Grant has done a tremendous job with our daughter. He is by far worth every penny. Prior to the pandemic, we had our daughter in swim classes. The 1-on-1 coaching that Grant has been doing with her has shown to be so much more effective. His experience in the water both as a swimmer and coach truly shows when I watch him work with her. You simply cannot go wrong with Grant!

'Kylee has been absolutely amazing with my twins. To see their swimming progress with her this summer has truly helped their confidence in the water and has completely made my family a lot safer in and around the water. We can't thank her enough for all that she has done. She is adored by our family and is an incredible teacher. We love her!' - Savannah D.

SAVANNAH D.

Grant was great! We did one lesson every week for six weeks and the improvement was amazing. We have a 2 and 4 year old. Both boys are now super confident in the water. In the beginning the older one didn't even like putting his head in the water and now he is swimming under water and diving for floating toys. Grant made it fun but kept them on track during lessons. He encouraged them and made them comfortable. So glad we decided to do this.

Sunsational Swim connected me with Adana, who is an amazing swim instructor! Adana taught my daughter, Penny(5yo) to swim on her own in 6 lessons. My daughter had been doing weekly classes on and off for a couple of years and seemed to be close to swimming on her own for awhile, but couldn't quite get there. She was afraid to go underwater and to swim without her floaties. Adana is warm, kind, gentle and just firm enough. She was able to keep Penny on task and teach her to swim underwater on her own by building trust with Penny and making Penny feel safe with her. Adana also taught my two year old, Parker, a bit of swimming. Parker has no fear of the water now and is able to go under the water for a quick dip with no hesitation. We are continuing lessons with him and are certain that he'll pick up swimming quickly, given his first introduction to swimming was guided by Adana. I whole-heartedly recommend Adana to anyone looking to provide swim lessons to their children.

'Aranza was a great instructor. Our 18-month-old made so much progress over the 6 weeks of swim lessons. Aranza taught her how to push off the wall, blow bubbles and get more confident with her face in the water. We will definitely book with Sunsational again.' Johnie K.

We had a great experience with our swim instructor. She was amazing. I have a 2 year old who had his first swim lesson, and our instructor was patient and kind. My son went from being anxious and timid in the water to gaining confidence and enjoying being in the pool.

Ashley has been a wonderful swim instructor for my 2 1/2 year old. She could not be more knowledgeable and patient. After 1 1/2 weeks he is already diving underwater and climbing out of the pool!

Amanda is a great instructor! My toddler nephew and my toddler son have had lessons with her and she is so kind, and patient, and she really invests her energy into these kids individually and I am so grateful. I would highly recommend Amanda for swim, and I hope every summer coming up we can keep her as our instructor.

Briana M.

So grateful for this school, especially our instructor, Charday. Our 7 month old baby absolutely loves her swim lessons and we are certain that they are so good for her in so many ways. Ask for Charday! She is so fun, calming, and professional. She is really upbeat and natural. She is extremely competent and kind.

Rachel our swim instructor has been great. She has been working with out group well. The only issue is that it has got late in the season now and we should have like 3 more lessons. So not sure those are going to happen. She is helpful and nice with the kids. She is knowledgeable in the swimming concepts and try's to engage the kids.

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Liberty Station 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.

Hi! My name is Megan and I have taught swim lessons for over 2.5 years to people of all ages and abilities. I was the Senior Lifeguard during that time where I taught lessons and coached a swim team. I also worked as a Recreation Leader during that time coaching Pee Wee Sports and an after school activities program. I love working with kids because I feel they teach me as much as I teach them!

Sunsational Certified Since 2017

Hi!! My name is Mia and I've been a swim instructor for 3 years and worked with children between 6 months and 13 years old! I've worked in classrooms, daycares, as a tutor, and a special educator for 7. I completed my Elem. and Special ed. degree through Grand Canyon University in AZ in April 2019. I love being a swim instructor because I get to see a child recognize their growth and ability to step out of their comfort zone when learning to be comfortable and capable in the water!!

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 Liberty Station. 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 Liberty Station, 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 Liberty Station 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 Diego, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Liberty Station 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 Liberty Station 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 Liberty Station, you do not need to have a pool to register for our 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 Liberty Station, we'll do our best to accommodate.

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.
