My 2.5 yr old daughter really enjoyed her swim lessons with Michal. She has grown more comfortable in the pool, and she has a basic understanding of swimming. Michal was punctual for his lessons, and he adapted the swim lessons to my daughter's skill set.

Bryan taught my 2 1/2 year old son how to swim in 3 months. Very engaging, caring, and down to earth kind of teacher so my son adored him.

Christina R.

My 1.5 yeard old daughter enjoyed classes with Marianela! Nela found an instant contact with my baby and had fun while learning how to swim. Nela teached not only the baby but also a parent how to facilitate learning experience. Highly recommend.

Kaleigh B. is a wonderful swim teacher for my 1 year-old son. She puts him at ease in the water and makes the lessons lots of fun! I am thrilled with his progress :)

Anastasia was fantastic to work with! She was always on time. My 18 month old looked forward to seeing her and his confidence improved with each lesson. We'd love to work with her again!

The difference after a week of lessons is unbelievable! Alex C. is a superb teacher. Patient, encouraging, and keeps it fun. Our 3-year-old now can't wait to get in the water. Her skill and confidence have improved beyond what I could have imagined! Thank you, Alex.

Over there summer we had instructor Marianela (Nela) Marquina, teach our little Lorenzo swimming lessons. I was blown away by how prepared she was. She came equipped with toys and patience. Lorenzo never had an issue with water, as a matter of fact he has an affinity for water, which is the reason why we wanted to give him lessons. By the end of our time with Nela, Lorenzo was closing his mouth and holding his breath underwater, and successfully reaching the walls of the pool. We were thoroughly impressed with his progress with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to show their babies the first lessons of swimming.

We absolutely loved our swim instructor Eva. She was always very punctual and professional. Our one year old loves the water and has learned to kick, grab the wall of the swimming pool and even blow bubbles! His progress has been remarkable and we have Eva to thank for that.

J.P. S.

Our swim instructor was Adrian (Aquaman). He was great with our 1.5 yr old. He personalized the lessons and approach depending on what my son was receptive to. My son started learning skills from the first lesson. Adrian tried incorporating different pool toys/tools to see what my son would be comfortable with and to aid in learning. The majority of the lessons focused on drowning prevention and survival skills in the pool, and I feel like we made great strides in helping my little one be safer in the water.

'Sunsational Swim School did an excellent job pairing us up with Gaby, the swimming instructor. She was so professional, patient and loving with our 9 month old grandson. Thank you for a great experience.' - Addy V.

Thank you Marianela for the wonderful lessons! We did a class with our 6mo son (until he was about 10 mo) that got him comfortable in the pool, going underwater and other basics. Marianela was a great teacher!

Thank you, Marianela for the wonderful lessons! We did a class with our 6mo son (until he was about 10 mo) that got him comfortable in the pool, going underwater, and other basics. Marinela was a great teacher and great with the baby!

Stefania D.

I searched for a while before settling for Sunsational and I'm glad I picked them! My baby, along with two friends, had their first swim lessons with Marianela Marquina and she was just beyond amazing! Sunsational matched us with her and after that, we had all our communication directly with Nela who was ALWAYS super friendly, accommodating and generally had the best attitude. Our babies all felt comfortable with her and so did the parents! 10/10 would recommend.

Stefania D.

I have been very happy with our instructor, Eva. My son is 2.5 years old. He was comfortable in the water, but needed to be taught to swim and to lift his head to take a breath. Eva did a great job at teaching him important water survival techniques... which was my main concern. He is able swim comfortably. I wish I could attach a video.

'Michaela was awesome. My sons face lit up every time Michaela came over for swim lessons. She was great with him in the water and was always early, communicative and flexible with the schedule.' -Vanessa D

Our 23 month daughter just completed a swim course with Marianela and we couldn't be happier. Marianela is patient and very kind. She made the class a lot of fun and taught me great tips and tricks to practice between classes. I highly recommend Sunsation Swim School and Marianela!!

My father in law bought lessons for our 2 year old son, Maximus. He swims like a fish now and his instructor, Amy is amazing. She's so friendly and enthusiastic. Our son was engaged the entire time he was in the pool. He got small prizes and a certificate after he achieved expected results. Will recommend to our friends. Amy is the best! Thanks Sunsational!!

'My son is 13 months old and has been working with Adrian since the middle of September. Adrian is very patient and kind with my son. You can tell Adrian really cares in how he celebrates with my son once he completes a new skill. I can tell how much better and more comfortable my son has become in the water and that brings me tremendous peace- and a lot of that is due to Adrian. I'm really happy with my decision to start my son in lessons when i did and look forward to continuing them in the future so that my son has all the tools he needs to feel safe and comfortable in the water.' -Lia F.

'I've already recommended Sunsational Swim School to multiple friends - this service is just the best! I'm excited to sign up for more lessons for my toddler. He's learned a ton in just a few weeks - including how to find the edge of the pool and pull himself out all by himself. The instructor is fantastic and I can't speak highly enough of everyone involved.' -Sara C.

Jose was a great swimming instructor for my toddler. He was reliable and flexible with my schedule. Also he was very patient in his teaching methoda to ensure that my toddler felt comfortable in the water. Jose is a good person. I highly recommend him as a swimming instructor for toddlers.

We couldn’t believe how much our baby learned in such a short amount of time! Our instructor was friendly, informative and great with our baby! - Danielle McCambridge

Danielle M.

My daughter had swimming lessons with Marianela and we loved them! She learned how to hold her breath underwater in just a day and by the end of the week she was grabbing toys from the bottom of the pool. Marianela was very patient with her and knew how to keep my daughter entertained. My daughter was laughing the whole class! I really recommend Marianela if you want your children to learn while having fun.

MarĂ­a F.

We have really enjoyed our classes with Marianela. She is very professional, arrives very prepared to all of the classes, is effective in teaching skills, and is great with children.

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Miami Beach 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 Miami Beach. 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 Miami Beach, 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 Miami Beach 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 Miami Beach 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 Miami Beach 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 Miami Beach, 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. To find out if we have instructors with pool access in your specific area, you can begin a registration here

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 Miami Beach, 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.
