Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
Hi, Im Coach Aaron its great to meet you! Im a former competitive swimmer who has been teaching swim lessons and coaching since I was 16. It was my very first job, and Ive been passionate about it ever since. I have worked personally with swimmers of all ages and ability levels. Although I expanded my work to include competitive swim coaching and strength and conditioning, I never stopped doing what I first loved: private lessons. I deliver results by using my experience with swimmers of all ages and abilities to guide students through discovery, problem-solving, and skill development. My goal is to make sure each swimmer becomes fundamentally sound and more importantly, falls in love with the process and everything swimming has to offer.

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 Culver City or across Los Angeles County. 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.

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.
