'Coach Alyson was absolutely wonderful with our almost 2 year old daughter. She showed her so much patience during each lesson and our daughter learned swimming essentials and grew in her confidence in the water. Thank you Coach Alyson!' Kristin Mullins

Kristin M.

'Julia did an EXCEPTIONAL JOB!!! She was patient, adapted to my 11month olds moods when he was tired, created a welcoming pool environment, set clear expectations for his age, and was knowledgeable. What I enjoyed most was her pleasant attitude and her flexibility due to weather and our short time frame while we were visiting Florida. Thanks again Julia! When we come back we'll call you if you're available!!' -Olivia Holland

OLIVIA H.

I am only two lessons in but so far the experience has been amazing. Andreia Costa does great with my 13 month old as well as with my two neighbors and their 11 month olds. We are currently splitting a 90 min session, 30 for each baby two times a week and Andreia has been punctual, great with her communication and just an overall joy with the girls.

Vanessa F.

I'm so impressed already with my 1.5 year old son. After 4 lessons he holds on to the wall by himself and says 'kick, kick, kick' and kicks his little legs throughout day when he's laying around playing. Marie has been wonderful with him and very patient. He has screamed a few times and cried but even so he listens to her and kicks to the wall! I couldn't ask for someone to be more patient but also able to teach him at the same time!

Saundra C.

'We had a great experience with Julia. My 2 year old can now swim and grab the wall on her own and “monkey crawl” safely to the stairs. She looked forward to her lessons and absolutely loved Julia.' - Billee F.

Billee F.

Hannah in Boca Raton is amazing! We're thrilled with the service and our daughter is so comfortable in the water. I have already recommended Sunsational to many friends!

Brooke A.

'Mia was SUNSATIONAL! She was so patient with our 15 month old son. It took about 3 lessons to get him into it (mostly because there was a cold front in FL and the pool wasn't warm) but after that he LOVED it. He would be looking for Mia after the lessons were over. Highly recommend. She was always on time and responsive. The company itself is great too! Also very responsive. Our first instructor didn't work out and they immediately found us a better replacement.' -Christie C

Christie C.

We couldn't be happier with the experience our children have had with Lee Ann. From day one, she created a warm and welcoming environment that made our kids feel comfortable and excited to learn. It is a highlight during their week. We highly recommend to anyone looking for an outstanding swim instructor for their children.

William K.

My swim instructor was Marianela Freites and she did an amazing job. It's hard enough to teach a 17 year old how to swim but she managed to do it in only 6 lessons. Her lessons were not only educating but also fun.

Sherene T.

'Dana is great with our child and he really likes her. She has creative ways to teach a toddler to swim where it looks like they are playing but he's really learning his skills in the water.' - Nicole N.

Nicole G.

We love our instructor, Marianela! She is very patient with our 2 1/2-year-old son and he has learned so much with her in just 5 sessions. We are impressed he is already swimming underwater to the wall and we couldn't be happier so far with his progress. Thank you!!

Danielle S.

Christina was great instructor for our 2 year old daughter. She was very punctual and was always available when we wanted lessons. We highly recommmend her!! - Jamie

Jamie G.

My daughter loves her instructor and cannot wait for her swim lessons each week.

Allana W.

Sunsational Swim School has been great though the entire process. They answered all my questions and made signing up for swim lessons super convenient. We really enjoy the swim lessons with Gretchen. She is reliable, kind, patient, and makes swimming fun for my child. I feel very lucky that she was chosen as our swim instructor. I highly recommend her services!

Stephanie C.

Coach Briana is an absolute gem of a swim instructor! She worked with my 1- and 4-year-old, and in just six lessons, the progress they made was nothing short of incredible. My 4-year-old went from being hesitant in the water to swimming short stretches independently and floating on his back with confidence. My 1-year-old, who I wasn't sure would take to lessons so young, is now happily submerging and even crab-walking along the pool wall--both of my kids now truly love the water! Briana's professionalism, deep knowledge, and warm, engaging teaching style made every lesson enjoyable and productive. She's an excellent communicator, always keeping us informed about timing and progress, and most importantly, she built a wonderful rapport with my children. They absolutely adored her, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My kids are still singing her swim songs! If you're looking for a swim coach who is patient, skilled, and truly invested in your child's success, Briana is the best choice!

Marianela Marquina is the best swim instructor ever! She was amazing with my 2 yr old daughter! I decided to purchase private lessons during the pandemic because I did not want my daughter around a large group of parents and kids. She was worth every penny. My daughter loves the water and learned so many safety lessons. She is excellent

Allana W.

Sunsational Swim School pared is up with Marianela to teach my 21-month-old grandson swim/survival skills. She was professional, patient and sincerely committed to making him successful. I highly recommend her to teach any age. Marianela was a professional, patient and caring instructor for my grandson. I highly recommend her to anyone needing swim/survival skills.

Christine was great with our 2 year old, no regrets using this school. Christine was very patient and showed professionalism and experience with each class.

Shannon is terrific! She is great with the children, imparts safety protocols as part of her lessons, and even had my three-year old doing proper arm strokes on her first lesson (which was something we had tried to get her to do for over a year.)

Jaden is a fantastic instructor. He he is caring and knowledgeable as to how to get the most from both of my boys (4 & 1). He has a positive and supporting approach to instruction that we really appreciate. He was flexible to ensure that we were able to schedule appointments that worked for our family. We highly recommend Jaden as a swimming instructor.

William C.

My instructor Marinela is doing awesome. She's super patient and very knowledgeable with kids.

Ternishia W.

Can't say enough about Marianela! My son loved her! She was early every lesson and was never rushed to leave. The progress my son has made is truly remarkable. Thank you Marianela for being so wonderful. I'd recommend Sunsational Swim, especially Marianela to anyone.

Christina K.

Our 15-month son became more comfortable in water including going underwater and kicking his feet. Mary was a great swim instructor and taught us a lot about water safety as well. Highly recommend

Barbara S.

Christina has been very accommodating to our schedule and very patient with my 1.5 yr old daughter trying to warm up to her. She provides age appropriate lessons. We are very pleased with our experience so far and would def recommend her

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Margate 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 Margate. 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 Margate, 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 Margate 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 Miami, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Margate 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 Margate 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 Margate, 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 Miami. 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 Margate, 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.
