5-star rated by parents and swimmers alike

Caitlyn L. has been an absolute joy with our 18 month old! Watching the two interact and how fun, patient, and timely Cait is with Little One is really incredible. She's also been so flexible and patient with our crazy schedule! Can you ask for anything better?! We can't thank you enough Cait!

Chrissy C.

Aaron is enthusiastic, sincere and professional and really knows how to work with babies and strong willed toddlers. I was impressed with how he immediately made any play that Roman wanted to do into an effective teaching moment. Both boys are excited in the water and practicing the skills Aaron taught them. We will have him back.

Graham B.

Katherine taught my son to swim within four half-hour lessons. The rest of the program has been dedicated to strengthening his swim skills, but I'm no longer worried about him around water. He's three and he is already shown so much improvement. I would highly recommend Katherine for swim instruction.

Nicky B.

Great experience, our instructor was extremely patient and great with our kids! - Ashley Castrillon

Ashley C.

We love Coach Diz. He is extremely patient and the kids warmed up to him right away. He also comes quite prepared with toys and props to help teach 2 year olds.

Dana h.

'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

Natalie T.

My 22 month old son really loved swim class with Damien. He was always excited to see him and super eager to jump into the pool with him. After a few sessions, he was kicking and paddling.

Dana h.

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.

We started swim lessons for our 11 month old last year and could not have been happier with the experience Sunsational provided, especially thanks to our wonderful instructor, Milan! Our daughter is extremely comfortable in the water, and always looks forward to her next swim session. Milan gave us a very personalized experience, and we'd recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone that needs an instructor for their little one!

John N.

Adrien has been great we’ve learned so much about how to be more comfortable with our babies in the pool and skills that we can keep practicing. He’s very professional and great with the babies. - Jodi Hicks

My daughter loves to stay in water and enjoys swimming !Thank you and We are very happy with the instructor Vidar and Sunsational swim school. It’s worth taking classes with them! I strongly recommend!' Sara Gouran

Kerry S.

'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

Bret is fantastic with my children-2 and 3-and they can be difficult lol. He is patient, understanding, knowledgeable, and fun!

Jacqueline T.

Philip is the BEST instructor. He is so kind, knowledgeable and patient with all of our babies. We are beyond impressed with the swim lessons.

Mary B.

Sarah was instrumental in helping my 16 month old learn to hold her breathe and swim. She made my daughter feel comfortable and weaved in fun play to keep my daughter engaged. Being that she’s 16 months we will have to consistently practice her new learned skills to improve on them but without Sarah we wouldn’t be where we are today. She also helped her learn to kick and crab crawl for safety. I highly recommend Sarah.

Kacey J.

We had a great experience with Jaimie! Our twins are swimming! Definitely worth the cost of lessons. Easy, convenient and professional.

Joshua D.

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!

Sarah H.

Coach Dara is great. She's been so patient and understanding with our little guy. I have been really impressed with how she can follow his lead and circle back to the lesson as needed over and over. Thanks Coach!

Cassandra M.

Rebeka is so incredible, I am extremely happy with the swim lessons she provides! She makes my daughter feel so comfortable, brining fun water toys each time she meets with us. Rebeka is always smiling and ensures everyone is comfortable, even the parents! Highly highly recommend her.

April K.

'Lizzy has been amazing! We were thrilled she was our chosen instructor for our two year old.' Madison M.

Madison M.

LOVE Ansley. She is extremely patient and we are BEYOND impressed with her teaching style, her...

Stephanie H.

Philip is like family now - he's transformed our little boy into a little professional swimmer! we're so grateful for him.

seena g.

Definitely going to recommend Aeris to others and continue lessons. She is engaging for my infant twins, patient, and just amazing at explaining what we are doing and why. Very baby centered and goes at their pace and comfort level while challenging them.

Eli M.

Cheyenne was a wonderful instructor! She was super patient with my 3 and 1 year olds and the kids warmed up to her right away. My 3 year old went from being terrified of putting her head in the water to swimming across the pool. Cheyenne never pressured the kids to do something they were scared of but rather was super encouraging and made it fun.

Kristin H.

Eddie has been fantastic! I wasn't sure how it was going to go as my 21 month old boy tends to gravitate better towards women than men but he loves Eddie. He is so calm and patient with him and we are so grateful to have found him. We previously had one swim class at a well known swim facility and what he learned in the first lesson alone would have taken weeks with the previous facility.

Maryann S.

A great wonderful option for private lessons, right in your back yard. We love our instructors Ashley and Cheyenne. One is for our daughter, the other is for our son. Great instruction and wonderful personalities.

Kristin H.

Lynsey is an awesome swim instructor that is dependable, flexible, skilled, and very patient with our little toddler grandchildren. She is very calm, even when they cry (one and two years old). We woukd definitely recommend Lynsey and Sunsational. - Steve Dickel

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many Studio City 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.

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 Studio City. 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 Studio City, 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 Studio City 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 San Fernando Valley, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in Studio City 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 Studio City 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 Studio City, 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 San Fernando Valley. In some areas, we even have some swim instructors who can provide a pool for your lessons.

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 Studio City, 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.
