Sunsational clients love our swimming lessons

5-star rated by parents and swimmers alike

Our instructor, Kristina Harris, has been amazing with our 1 year old. I highly recommend Sunsational Swim School, and if in the San Antonio area, Kristina is awesome! Our son is now comfortable with our pool/ water and is now learning so much more on safety. We can not believe how much progress we have seen since his 1st session with her. Overall, I would highly recommend Sunsational Swim. Communication has also been pleasant with the company and our instructor.

Marie M.

Lena is a fabulous instructor and so patient with our little toddler! She communicated excellently with us and worked easily with our schedule. Hope to work with her again!

'Audrieanna has been great with my kids. After a few lessons with her, they are comfortable going underwater. Prior to this, they were scared to go underwater. Also, they are doing great!! She is so patient and friendly with the kids. My daughter said “she is the best. I love You.” -Ashleigh N.

'Very happy. Lauren is wonderful' - Meghan C.

Ms. Audrie was exceptional! She helped our 2 year old and was so patient and kind. Even with his terrible two tantrums, he is ready for summer and feels confident in the water. We're grateful we got connected with her, she did an amazing job!

Jennifer H.

'I would like to say how thankful we are about having Adri as our instructor. She really helped my son learn confidence in the water. To the point where he swam after the first lesson. Thank you again Adri!!'

Destiny W.

Karen H. has been AMAZING; she is extremely patient and gentle with my 3 year old grand-daughter. Karen has made it fun and easy for my grand-daughter to remember.

James W.

Stephanie W.

'Ms. Evy is AMAZING! She handled my 5-year-old very well but my 2 1/2-year-old is the really challenging one. He worked very hard to find ways to connect with him and was so patient. She knows how to speak to children in these age ranges and make the lesson fun. She went above and beyond with how difficult the younger one was to get him to come around. We are very lucky she was able to work with our kiddos.' Crystal G.

Crystal G.

'Great swim instructor. She really knows how to work with the kids even when they don't want to do it. 10/10'

Mason S.

I was so thankful for the little extra things Claire thought of, like teaching my daughter to climb out of the deep end... you never know where stairs may or may not be. She also always kept safety lessons on the top of the list which is so important to us. My daughter is 2 1/2 and SO close to swimming. I'm so impressed.

Taylor M.

My experience with sunsational swim lesson has been absolutely amazing. My daughter has learned so much in so little time. Frances has done a wonderful job with my daughter and so flexible with my schedule. I appreciate all you do!

Chelsea L.

I love Sunsational swim school after I had this amazing swim instructor named Elizabeth. She has taught My one year old so much in the past few weeks. It is amazing what my one year old can do now in the pool. I will be recommending her to my friends and family now In the Austin area.

Anna F.

I chose Sunsational Swim School because they offer lessons at home, as my main concern was familiarizing our 2 year old son with a new home and pool. Our instructor, Frances, is simply wonderful! It has been extremely easy to schedule sessions. She is so patient with our son, and she provides fun activities to get him interested in the water and comfortable with the unknown. I see progress in each visit, and she's even given us guidance on ways we can proactively reinforce the instruction when she is not there. A great experience all around!

Zoe L.

'Our instructor Aimee was absolutely amazing! She worked with our daughter (22 months) and was able to get her extremely comfortable in the water after just 12 lessons. Thank you, Aimee!' Danielle P.

Faith O.

Aryan has been so great with our toddler and has given us both more confidence with her in the water. She gets so excited when her “swimming friend” comes over and is learning so much. We are so grateful!

Faith O.

Roger is our instructor and he is amazing. My son immediately felt comfortable with our instructor, and enjoys each session we have with him.

Desiree M.

Reilly is an excellent swim instructor. My three-year-old son can be difficult to deal with. He was afraid of the water and very emotional during the early lessons. Reilly was extremely patient with him, gained his trust and he ended up making great progress. I highly recommend Reilly for swim lessons.

Paul K.

Cole has been nothing short of amazing over the last 2 months. He is by far the best children's swim instructor we've seen - he keeps a fastpace, which keeps the kids interested and attentive. He's supportive, encouraging and has made outstanding progress with both of our kids. He took our 5 year old from being afraid to put her head under water in the first lesson to swimming free-style w/ side breath the length of the pool. And, he took our 2 year old from being deathly afraid of the pool to safely getting in and out the side of the pool on his own, 'monkey' scaling the side of the pool & blowing bubbles. We are most grateful for having had the opportunity to work with such a knowledgeable and kind instructor!

Melissa M.

While we initially had issues with finding an instructor that was a good fit for our toddler, we did eventually find one. Sunsational was very helpful and worked with us to find a the right instructor. Abbie has been amazing. Our son really enjoys his lessons with her and has made great improvements. He is 16 months old and is kicking, going under water, and loving the water. Abbie is so kind and easy going. She doesn't force our son to do anything that makes him uncomfortable. She has been very flexible with scheduling and making changes. Even during our lessons if T is getting fussy, she understands and we end the lesson a few minutes or so early. I highly recommend this company for swim lessons. Thank you Abbie and Sunsational!

Joey A.

'Jessie was perfect. She was great with our child. Our child improved dramatically with Jessie. Our child really enjoyed and looked forward to her time with Jessie. It was a great experience.' - Chris P.

Chris P.

My 18 month old lights up when he sees Maggi. He is comfortable in the water and enjoys their quality time! She is a wonderful presence in his life.

Anastacia U.

Jacob was awesome with my very shy 2 year old. He kept her engaged and taught her so much that she wanted to share with us. Thanks Jacob!

Debra W.

We loved working with Stephanie this summer. My two year old twins made so much progress in the water and had a fantastic time. Stephanie was very patient and always made our lessons fun!!

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Macdona 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.

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 Macdona, 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 Macdona 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 Antonio, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Macdona 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 Macdona 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 Macdona, 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 Macdona, 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.
