Private Swim Lessons in Fort Myers , FL

It’s no secret that people in the Sunshine State love to enjoy the water, from the beaches of Sanibel Island to the lazy river at Sun Splash Water Park. And, given the number of homes in Fort Myers that have swimming pools, water safety is one of the best lessons you can teach a child. Sunsational Swim School offers private swim lessons in the Fort Myers area that help learners of all ages—from infant to adult!—learn essential water safety skills, in their own backyard or at their favorite local pool.

When your family takes private classes with a Sunsational swim instructor in Fort Myers, you’ll love the difference between the traditional, one-size-fits-all group classes you’ve had in the past and our effective, individualized swimming lessons. Our swimmers make demonstrable progress in just a few weeks, and with Sunsational’s Learn-to-Swim Guarantee package, we’ll provide up to four complimentary lessons if your swimmer cannot swim to the wall unassisted after a simulated fall by the end of their twelve-lesson package (if qualified for Guarantee).

If you or your child have already mastered the basics of swimming and you’re interested in taking your skills to the next level, many of Sunsational Swim School’s instructors have years of experience coaching swimmers with respect to stroke technique, turns, streamlining, and more. Whether you’re competing on the Gulf Coast Swim Team in North Fort Myers, training for a triathlon, or just hoping to drop some time in your next race, we offer private lessons that can help you reach your goals quickly and effectively.

For every goal—from water safety to gaining a competitive edge—Sunsational Swim School can help!

Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Fort Myers

Our Priority Is Water Safety

Our Fort Myers-area swim lessons prioritize teaching kids to find the pool wall, turn around, and swim to the side unassisted. Why? Because, sadly, the majority of water accidents happen because a child does not have the skills to get out of the pool safely after unintentionally falling in.

Scheduling at Your Convenience

With Sunsational Swim School, you set the day and time that fits your active lifestyle. Our swim lessons in Fort Myers can be every day before lunch, only on the weekends, after school, or any combination of days and times that you like. We also offer back-to-back lessons for multiple children in the family. (If only naptimes and doctors’ appointments were that easy to schedule!)

Lesson Plans Unique to You

Sunsational instructors use an encouraging, individualized approach to help students learn essential water safety skills and overcome any fears. We believe in the effectiveness of our personalized approach to swim instruction so strongly that we have an exclusive Learn-to-Swim Guarantee package for students aged 3 and up (infant and toddler lessons excluded).

You Choose the Pool

There’s no need to fight traffic driving to crowded swimming lessons halfway across town, when a Sunsational Swim teacher can bring a private swim class to the local pool of your choice—or to your own backyard!

We bought 6 lessons for my daughter (4.5 years old) and my son (3 years old). Before the lessons, neither child could swim without a floater or liked putting their faces in the water. Our instructor Wanda McKittrick did a fantastic job. We were extremely patient and encouraging as she worked with my kids. By the end of the 6 lessons, my daughter was swimming on her own without a floater, and jumping off the side of the pool. Both kids felt 100% more comfortable in the pool.

We are so very pleased with our experience with Sunsational and our incredible instructor Suzanne. You can't beat the convenience of an instructor coming to your home. We are so lucky that instructor has been Suzanne! She is very patient and encouraging to our 3 year old. He has come so far in his comfort level in the water and is starting to grasp swim
basics. It was so important to us to find someone who made learning swim fun, and she does it wonderfully! Thank you so much Suzanne & Sunsational Swim School!

We had a fantastic experience with Juilet from Sunsational swim school! My six year old learned everything from getting in and out of the water safely, floating, breathing, and foundations of several strokes in just one package! She was so kind and patient with my son, he just loved every time she came for a lesson. I loved how she explained what they worked on and how I could keep working with him between lessons. I highly recommend this swim school and Juilet in particular!
Suzanne was incredible with my boy. Very patient and positive. My son was 2 years 5 months and now 2 years 8 months and we have completed 16 of 18 lessons. He has made so much progress. He is the size of a 4-5 year old yet only 2, so not quite swimming on his own but very close. I will work with him over the Fall and when he is 3 definitely sign up for lessons again. Great experience, comes to your pool, one on one lessons and very flexible. Highly recommend Sunsational and Suzanne.
We had Miss Wanda McKittick while we were in Florida this winter for 5 weeks, in the Naples area. It was a great experience for our 3 year old son who is just getting started with swimming lessons. After the first lesson, he ditched his puddle jumper for good. He had so much confidence doing crab walks on the wall in the deeper areas and staying in the shallow water where he could practice his new skills. He loves the activity where he would try and touch the toy fish on the bottom. He still talks about it to this day!. I Highly recommend Sunsational and Miss Wanda!
