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.

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.

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.

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 :)

JULIE 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.

Why are Miami Beach swimming lessons so important?

Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death in the US for children under 14, and in most cases, it happens in just minutes – even when a caregiver is nearby. In fact:

Why Swim lessons important 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

Enrolling your child in swimming lessons is one of the best ways to prevent drowning by teaching them essential water safety skills.

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 Miami Beach, 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 Miami Beach or across Miami-Dade. 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 Miami Beach, where backyard pools, condo pools, beaches 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 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.

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.
