Why our students and parents love us!

5-star rated by parents and swimmers alike

'Sunsational was able to match me with an instructor that met my scheduling needs. Dave was great to work with and very patient with our first time swimmer.'

Connie B.

Mary was so patient and fun with Luca and he did learn so much despite his toddler-ly protests haha

Amy D.

Annie has her work cut out for her with my too soon to be 3-year-old. Annie has managed to teach my daughter many things that usually are taught to older children. Annie had amazing patience for my daughter constantly trying to change the program if you will. I give her a lot of credit. Annie is constantly updating me on her progress and what my expectations should be as well as what we should work on. Annie always goes with the flow and helps me to keep my daughter focused. She is very nice and my daughter loves her.

Jessica P.

Brady earned the adoration of my three toddlers. As he learned more about each child lesson by lesson, he tailored his instruction to their individual needs: incorporating different techniques, providing challenges and accomodations, and even structuring lessons based on how different adult family members could best help each child. Brady was an integral part of making our poolside summer enjoyable by teaching my children how to swim.

Jessica E.

Kaitlin is so great with both our kids. She keeps it fun while also still safely nudging my oldest to work through her fears.

Brianna b.

Mary has been incredible to work with. She brings energy and excitement to the lesson and has been able to get my almost 2-year old to make such huge strides in such a short amount of time.

Savannah is the BEST! Two of my kids, ages 2 and 4, are enrolled in swim lessons with Sunsational. Savannah is their amazing instructor, and we could not be happier! She developed a great relationship with the kids in a very short amount of time, gaining their trust and diminishing their fears of the water. In 4 weeks, my son (4) is almost able to swim on his own and my daughter (2), who has historically been terrified of the water, is swimming with decreasing assistance and is developing a love for the water! Not only are they learning how to swim, but (most importantly, in my opinion) they are learning important safety skills to keep them protected when they are around water. They are around so many pools, oceans, lakes, etc in the summer that these skills will prove to be invaluable. Savannah is always on time for lessons and flexible with scheduling. She doesn't 'take the easy way out' when it comes to the programming of each specific lesson, but seamlessly personalizes each lesson for both children based on their individual strengths, weaknesses and styles of learning.

Why Swim lessons important image

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

Hello, my name is Cymantha, and I am so excited to teach your kids how to swim! Growing up, I swam competitively from 3rd grade all through college. I truly believe every person should know how to swim, as it is a life-saving skill. In my experience, I have taught kids ages 2-16 swimming lessons.

My name is Teddi DiCanio. Living along the coast, I spend time in the ocean, when not in a pool teaching swimming. For about twenty years, I have taught swimming to people of all ages and ability levels. One of my important skills as a teacher is the ability to break actions (and ideas) into component parts to work on. I have a master's in education and when not teaching I may be writing, teaching voice, or performing intermittently as a storyteller.

In the last two years, have had in excess of 200 different students. While I work with all age students my most recent work has been with 3-5-year-olds.

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, youโ€™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 familyโ€™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 Newbury, our instructors teach year-round, so you can start lessons whenever youโ€™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 Newbury or across Greater Boston. 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 Newbury, where indoor pools, community centers, 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 Newbury, 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.
