Highly recommend Jacques to anyone needing private swim lessons! Jacques has a special knack with children when they might need just a little more courage, a little more patience, and a lot of understanding! Jacques was very flexible as far as when I had to reschedule last minute, (on more than one occasion... ) Jacques is really a special kind of guy.... He really cares about the kids he works with. Any family would be lucky to have him teach your little ones to swim and make it fun!

'Aracely was so sweet and patient with my three little ones in the pool. They are 1 yr, 2 yrs and 3 yrs old and all very different personalities and she was able to help them each on an individual level helping them gain their confidence and learn safety in the water. She taught them how to close their mouth in the water, scoop, kick, and hold on to the edge of the pool...we called it the monkey walk. She brought toys, cups, a safety float, and a bar float. She made learning fun with games and lots of praise. We are so happy with the results. I know my little ones will be floating and swimming in no time as we continue to practice what she taught us.' - Ashley Y.

We’ve loved our swim instructor, Shania. She is incredibly patient with our 3-year-old. She knows how to engage with him in play and keep his interest, but also pushes him to grow in his swim skills.

Veronica B.

Everything we were hoping for and more! Caitlyn L. was everything we'd hope for in a swim instructor. Most important of all my son went from being a brick in the water to knowing how to swim in less than two weeks. My daughter who had been to swimming camp a year earlier, developed bad habits which Caitlyn L. corrected. Both my children loved their time with her and she was a pleasure to interact with.

We have a one year old and we want to make sure he won’t be in danger if he’s ever suddenly in deep water. Sanjina came to our home to help us teach him and In the first session we already had a lot of information on safety precautions when teaching a very small child. We feel much more confident on how to practice floating and healing him to feel confident holding his breath longer, grabbing the edge of the pool etc. She’s a great teacher and we will take classes with her again.

We absolutely LOVED Stacey!! She was so patient with both of our 19month old and our 4.5 year old! Our 4 year old just adored her and looked forward to swim lessons each week. She commanded his attention and really made him listen. He swims like a pro now. He is water safe, which was reassuring to hear from Stacey. And he truly enjoys the pool and swimming!! She taught him a lot of neat tricks for diving and swimming on his back. She did quite a lot with our littlest child as well!! She was able to get him onto his back each lesson and dipped him under water. I developed a lot more confidence with him in the water through watching Stacey with him.

We paid and signed-up for swim lessons mid-summer, hoping we could get our 2 year old twin boys more comfortable in the swimming pool. We knew finding an available instructor was a long shot, but Sunsational Swim sent me emails every couple of days letting me know they were doing their very best to find someone. By the beginning of August we were notified that someone was finally available - yay! Our instructor, Damien, was very kind and very patient with our boys. It was nice knowing he had a 10 month old son of his own who he was already working with in the water.

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Santa Clarita parents wonder if their baby is too young to start learning to swim. They think babies will eventually learn the skills on their own, or that the skill isn’t necessary. Here’s why starting lessons early is a smart choice:

Water safety starts early

Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children under four. Babies are naturally curious, which is why baby swimming lessons make so much sense. An awareness of the water, and water safety skills, could very well save your child’s life one day.

Decreased risk of drowning

It’s impossible to watch over your children every second. Most daycare facilities have pool or splash days during the summer or have field trips that include water fun. Children can drown in less than 1 inch of water, particularly if the person is under the age of 4. Swimming lessons help decrease the risk of drowning.

Encourages social interaction

Swimming and playing in the pool with parents and other babies helps boost babies' social development.  Babies learn through shared experiences, laughter, and engaging in activities together. Your child shouldn't have to skip these character-forming moments due to a fear of the water or because you simply haven't found the time for swim lessons.

Builds their strength

For babies, swimming helps strengthen their muscles, improve coordination, and enhance their motor skills – all without any unnecessary stress on joints. Plus, the water’s resistance provides a full-body workout, even for the tiniest of swimmers. Swimming may even help learn to walk sooner thanks to better muscle control.

Lifelong skill that starts early

Swimming is a skill for life. Providing your baby with swimming lessons opens up a whole new arena of fun and fitness that they can participate in all their lives. If you don't know how to swim, consider taking a parent and baby swim class together or taking adult swim lessons on your own. Create core memories in the water, together!

How parent and baby swim lessons help build confidence around the water

Babies as young as six months old benefit from pool time in the arms of a trusted adult. Infant swim lessons allow your child to enjoy the water before they have a chance to learn fear. Positive pool experiences help babies remain calm so they can progress to learn effective water navigation skills such as kicking and back floats.

How parent and baby swim lessons help 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

The benefits of swim lessons extend beyond the pool. The sensory and motor stimulation resulting from pool time creates new neurons that positively impact confidence and even intelligence. Bilateral movements, or using both sides of the body, help increase the connections between the two hemispheres of the brain, which will later help with skills like language development, spatial awareness and reading.

How to prepare your baby for swim lessons

Not ready for a formal class yet? Start at home! Simple activities in the bathtub, like gently pouring water over your baby’s head, introducing words like “kick” and “splash”, or laying them on their back in shallow water, can help them feel comfortable in the water before their first lesson.


When you’re ready for the pool, help your baby be successful with these tips:

  • 1
    Feed them at least 30 minutes before a lesson to prevent tummy discomfort
  • 2
    Pack essentials like swim diapers, towels, dry clothes, and fresh diapers
  • 3
    Arrive early so you have time to get ready
  • 4
    Ease into the water to keep the experience positive

Water safety is always the number one priority

Even the most comprehensive and successful water training program isn’t enough to drown-proof your child. Babies should always be within arm’s reach in the water, and children should never swim unsupervised. The goal of baby swimming lessons is to reduce the chance of accidental drowning, but it can’t guarantee to prevent it completely. Even if your little one was the star of the class, you should still be vigilant in your supervision to ensure that the water provides positive experiences for years to come.

I've worked with children for about twenty-five years as an after school counselor and director, summer camp counselor, and substitute teacher. I went to California Lutheran University and got my Masters degree in 2019. I love teaching swimming because I know children and adults will be safe in the water and because there is a lot of joy when people learn how to swim.

Sunsational Certified Since 2023

Hi! My name is Samantha Wahl. I have been teaching swim lessons for ages two to adult, from just getting into the water, to water safety, to preparing for the next swim season. I went to Rowan University where I graduated with a chemistry degree in 2017. While there, I was on the varsity swim team and worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor. Teaching swim lessons is so rewarding to me because I am very passionate about water safety and swimming as a sport!

Hi! My students call me Teacher B. I have taught swim safety and technique to over 250 beginners ranging from 6 months to 92 years old, and I have coached a handful of experienced swimmers to advance their skills and reach their personal and competitive goals. I am also experienced with special needs and disabilities. I believe in a 'can-do attitude.' My teachings are kept direct and fun and are met with lots of excitement and positive reinforcement. For babies and children, I use pool toys, puppets, and songs as a way to connect and lighten any fear. With adults, the core values of swim instruction are the same: safety, patience, and repetition are key! I look forward to teaching you or your child this very important and extremely fun life skill. Very respectfully, Brandon E.

Got questions?

We have answers. What age can babies start swim lessons?

No. Sunsational Swim School’s infant swim lessons are based on a child-centered and caring approach that focuses on building trust and rapport with the instructor and wonderment and respect of the water. When designing your baby’s swim lesson plan, our instructors consider all aspects of the well-being of your baby, including physical and emotional. Your swim instructor will create a safe environment for your baby to learn water-safety skills that include back floating, roll over breathing, “swim-float-swim”, the monkey crawl, and what to do after a fall into the pool. All of these skills are taught in a way that’s both fun and educational, using games, repetition, and even songs, at a pace that’s healthy for your little one.

Yes! Sunsational specializes in private, at-home baby swimming lessons, where our instructors come directly to your pool or community facility in Santa Clarita. It’s the easiest way for your baby to learn in a calm, familiar setting.

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 Santa Clarita, our instructors teach year-round, so you can start lessons whenever you’re ready.

Every child is unique and develops at their own pace. Physical and emotional readiness, motor skills and willingness all play a role in the pace your baby learns. However, the most common and most influential factors in the student’s learning pace we find is repetition and consistency. We recommend our baby students take 3 lessons per week for maximum skill retention and fast progression. Most of our students make significant progress within 12 to 18 lessons in our baby swim classes.

Yes. Swimming is not only defined as the four major swim strokes, but the ability to propel through the water. Your baby can learn how to use their little limbs, breathing and sense of direction to deliberately move from point a to b in the water, once they start walking. These skill sets are learned in a progressive manner and each child learns at a different pace. Our infant swim lesson teachers are experienced in coaching your baby to learn these skills in a fun, encouraging, and accelerated way. Even if your baby is not ready to swim, we'll work on swim and safety skills like blowing bubbles (breath control), kicking, rolling over onto our back and floating.

Your baby’s first swim lesson is designed to be gentle, fun, and completely pressure-free. The goal isn’t to make your baby swim right away—it’s to help them feel safe, happy, and relaxed in the water. Tears on the first day are not unexpected!

Your Sunsational instructor will start by introducing your baby to the pool gradually: gentle splashing, floating with support, and playful water exploration. Parents or caregivers are always encouraged to be present.

Most Santa Clarita parents begin lessons around 6 months old, when babies can comfortably hold their heads up and start exploring the water. Babies who have early exposure to swim lessons and the water are proven to have reduced anxieties and emotional obstacles learning how to swim. The water at this age is a familiar place as it’s similar to floating in the womb. Sunsational’s certified instructors offer private, at-home baby swimming lessons throughout Los Angeles, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Santa Clarita is certified in CPR and insured under our company liability insurance policy. What's more, every Sunsational swim instructor has a minimum of 2 season's of teaching experience. We emphasize comfort, floating, and water awareness—always at your baby’s pace.

Every child learns differently, but with consistent, one-on-one instruction, most Santa Clarita infants begin floating and showing swim readiness within our 12 or 18 lesson package. Sunsational’s personalized approach—taught in your own pool—helps babies progress faster than in group lessons. We find that the most common and most influential factors in the student’s learning pace are repetition and consistency. To that end, we recommend our baby students take 3 lessons per week for maximum skill retention and fast progression.

While we specialize in private, at-home infant swim classes in Santa Clarita, you do not need to have a pool to register for our lessons. Our infant swim teachers near you can meet you at any pool of your choice in Los Angeles. In some areas, we even have some swim instructors who can provide a pool for your lessons. To find out if we have instructors with pool access in your specific area, you can begin a registration here

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 Santa Clarita, we'll do our best to accommodate.

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.
