Remi was fantastic with our two toddlers. The boys progressed their skills all while really enjoying their time in the pool. Remi pushed them when needed and pulled back when they were feeling nervous. We couldn't be happier with our lessons with Remi!

Lesa was excellent! Very patient and understanding, teaching our 2 year old grand daughter how to swim. Thank you Lesa!

Stuart J.

Lesa was our 2 year old granddaughter's swim instructor. She showed exceptional patience and understanding. Within 3 lessons she had her swimming !!! We highly recommend Lesa and Sunsational Swim School!. 5 Stars!!! Stuart and Carol Jaquez

Stuart J.

Marriaha from Sunsational is amazing! She has been the swim instructor for our two daughters ages 2&5 for the past couple months. Our two year old was not water safe at all and now she's able to swim! She's fun and patient, but also strict enough for the kids to respect her and learn. I would highly recommend her!

Lauren F.

We are so pleased with Sunsational Swim School and especially our swim instructor, Kelly. She works so well with our grand-daughter who is not quite 3. We are seeing good progress. If we had interviewed a hundred teachers, we could not have picked a better one than Kelly. Thank you.

Barbara P.

Ethan has been so amazing! He gives great instruction and is so patient with the kids. They've learned many new skills and built tons of confidence in the water this summer! And it was really nice to be able to do the lessons from the comfort of our pool at home.

Amy F.

Our two boys have been taking lessons from Lesa for two weeks, three times a week. My 2-year-old now wakes up yelling that he wants to go underwater. Prior to lessons, we couldn't get him to get his face wet. Lesa is an incredible instructor and her energy puts the kids at ease. I highly recommend Lesa for young children just learning to swim.

My two year old daughter had is just finishing up on a 12 session swim class with Miss Jaye. She was amazing to work with and really worked great with my daughter. She was always excited and inspiring at each phase that my baby was able to accomplish. She was flexible with our busy schedule and great in responding to my texts and calls. She was so good with Marlowe. She started with being able to barely get in the water to now monkey crawling along the pool and swimming in her floaties without fear! We love Miss Jaye!

I would absolutely recommend Sunsational. Our instructor Aden was amazing in the way he was able to handle and communicate with our three-year-olds. He taught them both swimming skills way beyond what our expectations had been. They can jump off the side, climb out of the pool, kick and paddle, across the pool with a foam noodle among other skills Aden taught them. Both toddlers really liked Aden and had a lot of fun. We'll definitely be signing up for more lessons with Aden.

maureen o.

We feel very fortunate to have our 14 month-old training with Miss Jaye. She is persistent with our ambivalent son, and he has made incredible progress in the swimming pool these past few months. She is caring and experienced. She did her utmost to accommodate my schedule so that I could be present for the lessons instead of relying on our nannies solely. Thank you very much Miss Jaye!

Summer is AMAZING. She’s amazing with kids, a great communicator and great to work with. She’s super patient with our kiddo but also helps push her to move past her fears. We love working with her and would recommend her to anyone (especially with littles)! - Hannah Lee

Alison is an AMAZING instructor! She works so well with our stubborn daughter. She's also very understanding when it comes to rescheduling lessons. 11/10 would highly recommend!!

Becca L.

'Our 1.5-year-old started lessons very nervous and scared to even touch the water -- but thanks to Miss Stephanie's incredible patience and gentle approach, she's now completely comfortable and loves being in the pool. Over just a short time, she went from crying when entering the water to joyfully floating on her back, splashing around, and playing with pool toys. It's been amazing to watch her confidence and happiness grow each week. Miss Stephanie is not only patient but also very understanding and accommodating when life happens and we've needed to reschedule. We are so grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the genuine care she shows for each child. We couldn't recommend her more highly -- she's been a huge part of helping our little one learn to love the water!' -Maggie M

Maggie M.

'Kelly from Sunsational was fantastic. This has been our second year with Kelly. We have two daughters ages 2 and 5. Kelly has been patient and effective with both of the girls. Our 2 year old can be a challenge but Kelly managed it with ease. Our 5 year old has made tremendous improvements this year and is a much more independent swimmer and I feel much better about her safety in the pool. I sincerely hope that Kelly will be able to teach the girls again next summer. I highly recommend Kelly, she did a fantastic job!' Kristin H.

Kristin H.

I have twins and at first they had stranger danger, but Vlad has been SO patient and warm welcoming to my babies that they are finally warming up! He has gone above and beyond to do anything to get my babies to warm up with him. It is working and I'm seeing improvement every class! He is wonderful. Even if at the end they don't know how to swim, I am very pleased with him and it is getting my babies comfortable with being in the water. I would definitely recommend!

Brianna E.

'Monica has been a wonderful swim instructor to our kids!! They are having a lot of fun with her and learning proper swim strokes and feeling much more confident in the water!!' - Candace R.

'Levi was so unbelievably patient and kind with our 22 month old. He was encouraging, positive, and did everything in his power to ensure our kiddo was comfortable with him and made progress in his skill building. I could not have asked for a better match. Thank you, Levi!' Sarah Score

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Seatac 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.

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 Seatac. 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 Seatac, 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 Seatac 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 Seattle, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Seatac 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 Seatac 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 Seatac, 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 Seattle. 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 Seatac, 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.

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.
