Donzel T.
Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania 19038
Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
Hi, my name is Donzel. I learned how to swim at the age of 6 at my local YMCA. My first job was lifeguarding and assisting with swim lessons also at the YMCA at the age of 16. I continued to do this until I finished college. I have experience working with people of various ages, ranging from 3 to senior citizens. Of those I have worked with, many have been special needs. I prefer to teach by getting clients comfortable with the water and how to get out of the water when needed before we focus on swimming techniques. I believe that the biggest obstacle you have to overcome with swimming is your mindset upon entering the water. I look forward to getting in the water with you.

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 Phoenixville or across Greater Philadelphia. 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.

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.
