Marguerite H.

Manvel, TX 77578

I am so glad that I finally signed my son up for private swim lessons! Sunsational Swim School has been super convenient and very professional. Not to mention the swim instructor is amazing! She has such a great personality and you can tell she has a lot of experience with the little ones. My 3 year old has so much fun during his lessons. We are 8 lessons in and he is already swimming, floating, and climbing out of the pool all on his own. I would definitely recommend Margot and Sunsational Swim School.- Toni P.

Benefits of swimming lessons for special needs students

It could save their lives

Often it is simply a lack of awareness that causes danger among children with special needs. Our special needs swim lessons educate kids on all aspects of water safety, and the skills they need to survive in a water environment.

Help boost confidence & self-esteem

Many children with special needs have problems with confidence, but successfully learning a new skill like swimming with the help of a special needs swim instructor can make all the difference.

It improves their fitness & strength

Special needs children can benefit from the improvement of strength and fitness that comes with our swim lessons, making them healthier and more capable.

Improve coordination & range of motion

Swimming is an activity that improves balance, coordination and range of motion, all things that many special needs children struggle with. Our talented special needs swim instructors can help your child improve their skills in each area as they learn to swim.
