Traci is awesome! Our 3-year-old was terrified of the pool. He would wrap his arms around our neck and would not let go. Within the 1st class, he was more comfortable and willing to hold our hands. He even cried when class was over because he did not want her to leave. Now he knows how to role on his back and goes around the pool holding on to the ledge. It is a night and day difference! - sandy ruiz

Rina is wonderful with my 2 yr. Old son. He took to her right away and has learned so much in such a short time. He's already diving to the bottom of pool to recheive the items she asks. She is amazing and turning Colton into a fantastic swimmer. - Michele B

Stacy is amazing! He is so patient with our 2 year old. He makes the lessons fun and can really get our son engaged. My son gets very excited when he see Stacy's car pull up.

We’ve had a great experience with sunsational and our instructor, Tyla. Each lesson, she has helped my little ones gain the confidence they need to progress to the next step. She has also been very flexible to meet our needs. We’re very happy to have these in-home lessons.

Certification N/A

I have been passionate about swimming for as long as I can remember. As a competitive swimmer in my youth and early teens, I developed strong technique and a lifelong love for the water. In college, I worked as both a lifeguard and a swim instructor. For 23 years, I have had the privilege of coaching and volunteering with the Special Olympics swim team in Venice. This experience has taught me how to adapt instruction to each individuals needs and celebrate progress at every level from becoming comfortable in the water to refining strokes for competition. While I am new to offering private swim lessons, I am excited to begin this journey and share my love of swimming with others.

Hi, my name is Alanah. I used to be a lifeguard for two years at the Cape Coral community pool, where I first started swim lessons. I`ve worked with kids from ages 2-12. I have experience teaching kids who have never been in the water before, to kids that just want to learn swim strokes. I love teaching swim lessons, because I get to work with kids and watch them grow as a swimmer. I am currently enrolled as a student at FSW, and used to be a competitive swimmer from middle to high school.

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 Port Charlotte, 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 Port Charlotte or across Southwest Florida. 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 Port Charlotte, where backyard pools, community 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 Port Charlotte, 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.
