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

'Sunsational Swim School was easy to work with and very accommodating for our schedule. Our swim instructor, Jaida, was friendly and always came with a smile for our son. Jaida did a great job introducing our son to the water and getting him closer to swimming. By the end of his lessons, he was happily playing with her and gaining confidence in the skills needed to swim.' - Susan J.

Aiden has been wonderful! My son really grew to love him and they had a lot of fun in the water together. Aiden has a lot of patience, especially on the days where my son refused to stay in the water! But I was always impressed with his ability to stay calm and motivate him to keep swimming. Teaching a 2-3 year old to swim is hard work! Highly recommend Aiden if your looking for private lessons for your toddler

Melodie has been phenomenal. My son (5) and daughter (13mos) are taking lessons with Melodie and she has been wonderful. She is incredibly patient with both kids and has a fun, positive attitude. She keeps things fun for them while also making sure they are learning the skills they need in order to be able to swim. She's always on time and is easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Melodie!

McKenna came out to do our lessons for our triplet babies. She was great. Even though the babies were crying, she was able to calm the down and stop their crying by using toys. I highly recommend Sunsational Swim School. Thanks.

Coach Bryan was incredibly patient and engaging with my 22-month-old, helping him build confidence and learn essential swimming skills. He also gave me practical tips to keep practicing with him outside of lessons. He genuinely cared and has a great understanding of how to work with little ones. I’d highly recommend him to any parent.

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!

We loved our experience with Quinlan at Sunsational Swim School! Quinlan’s sweet gentle nature was perfect for our daughter. Our 2 year old made great progress and was ultimately able to swim around the pool kicking with just a pool noodle after just 6 lessons. Quinlan was very communicative, respectful and punctual. Highly recommend!

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!

Gabby is the most incredible human and swim instructor. She works with my 3 and 4 year old who have their reservations about swimming (one who would cry the entire lesson), but she stays so patient yet firm to help them get through the lesson. In fact, after a few lessons, the one who cried through his entire time now smiles through it and says he loves swim! Both my kids trust her completely and thus, try new things each lesson and they feel safe and encouraged to ask her so many questions :) Gabby is not only our swim instructor but a dear friend we hope to keep in our lives forever! She has gotten my two toddlers to learn to swim in less than 5 lessons and each class they grow exponentially safer and stronger in the water!

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.

'John's a great instructor. He has been very patient with both my kids (1.5 and 3.5 yes old). The kids have made a lot of progress and are much more comfortable in the water than before. He makes learning tinswim fun for the kids. I highly recommend him as an instructor!' -Duminda S

'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

'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.' - Natalie Taylor

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Solano 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 not always possible to watch your child every second, and water is often part of everyday life—from bathtubs and backyard pools to beaches, splash pads, and family outings. Young children can be at risk around even small amounts of water, especially infants & toddlers under 5. Swimming lessons can help children build comfort in the water and begin developing important water safety skills as part of a broader approach to drowning prevention.

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 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 swim lessons is to help build comfort in the water and introduce foundational water safety skills, which may help reduce the chance of accidental drowning as part of a broader approach to water safety. This includes active supervision, pool fences and barriers, alarms, and other safety measures, but risk can never be eliminated completely. Even if your little one was the star of the class, it’s important to remain vigilant with supervision to help ensure positive and safe experiences in and around the water for years to come.

I taught toddler music lessons a few years ago as well. What I love about teaching swimming, though, is that lightbulb moment when breath, buoyancy, and propulsion all come together and a child realizes they can swim. I also love to challenge older swimmers to push their limits safely to achieve more in the pool, whether it be learning to dive or swim butterfly.

Sunsational Vetted Since 2026

Hello, my name is Vanessa. I am 23 years old and have been teaching swimming and lifeguarding since August 2015. As a dedicated swim teacher, I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for every swimmer I work with. My approach is gentle, patient, adaptable, and centered on each persons unique needs, especially when working with individuals with physical, developmental, or sensory disabilities. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to feel comfortable and capable in the water, whether the goal is water safety, skill development, or just simply building confidence. I am committed to making every lesson as positive, progressive, and enjoyable as possible.

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

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Solano 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 Solano 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 Solano, 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 Solano. 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 Solano, 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.
