5-star rated by parents and swimmers alike

Debbie is fabulous with our 2yr old. She is so patient and soft spoken. She has gotten him to exactly where we wanted.

GERRI C.

Ms. Debbie has been fantastic with our boys. Our 3 year old now jumps in the deep end and swims across the pool. Their progress has been incredible to watch.

Amanda P.

'Our experience has been great! From the sign up process and awaiting an instructor match, Sunsational Swim School was in constant contact and kept us up to date. And once we started working with Leilani, we knew this was going to be a success! Our daughter got more out of these lessons than ever before. Leilani was patient, kind and worked with a sometimes tired toddler who didn't have much interest. She was fantastic! It was just such an awesome experience, I would highly recommend Sunsational Swim School and Leilani to everyone.' LaTasha T.

Debbie is a wonderful instructor. My son is having fun and learning so much. He starts dancing when we tell him Debbie is on the way. He is 23 months old and we are so glad Debbie is his swim instructor.

AMBER H.

Awesome! He is not easy at times but, Leilani is always able to win my grandson over with her patience, bubbly personality and sense of humor. She constantly comes up with new and inventive ways to keep him engaged.

'Leilani has been wonderful to work with. My kids are comfortable with her, she is patient and kind and takes her time so everyone feels comfortable and confident in the water. We have been really happy with our swim lessons with Leilani and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great swim instructor!' - Lindsey O.

Lindsey O.

We are so very pleased with Apple and how she is with our 16 month old. Maddison absolutely loves her and gets so excited when she sees her coming to the pool. Our daughter has become more comfortable in the pool and is moving along well with her lessons thanks to Apple's instruction. We look forward to every lesson to see how Maddie progresses!

Melissa H.

Leilani exceeded my expectations as a swim instructor. She was punctual, patient, and incredibly accommodating, with a clear depth of experience. What stood out most was her ability to gently and effectively redirect my strong-willed toddler, striking the perfect balance between instruction and fun. Her lessons were not only productive but also a joy for my child--truly worth every penny.

Why are Safety Harbor swimming lessons so important?

Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death in the US for children under 14, and in most cases, it happens in just minutes โ€“ even when a caregiver is nearby. In fact:

Why Swim lessons important 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

Enrolling your child in swimming lessons is one of the best ways to prevent drowning by teaching them essential water safety skills.

Got questions?

We have answers. What makes private lessons better than group classes?

We are so confident in our private, one-on-one instruction that we offer a Learn-to-Swim Guarantee for all students ages 3 and up!* We guarantee your child will be able to resurface, turn around, swim back to the edge of the pool and grab the wall unassisted after they complete their Learn to Swim Guaranteed package. If your child completes their lesson package and hasn't achieved the agreed-upon milestones, we'll work with you to provide up to 4 additional lessons at no extra cost until they do. This program is our commitment to building a foundation of safety and confidence for your child in the water.

Our pricing is transparent and based on the swim lesson package you choose. Packages are available in 6, 12 and 18 lessons with options for 30-minute, 60-minute or longer sessions for multiple students back-to-back. Every package includes a certified, background-checked instructor who comes to your home or preferred pool. Because lessons are private and personalized, youโ€™ll see faster progress and greater value compared to group classes. Start a registration to build a package and see an exact, no-hassle price on options best for your goals and budget.

We make scheduling easy. Morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend lessons are avaialble 6AM-8PM to fit your familyโ€™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 Safety Harbor, our instructors teach year-round, so you can start lessons whenever youโ€™re ready.

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 Safety Harbor or across Tampa Bay. 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. In Safety Harbor, where backyard pools, community pools, beaches make swimming skills essential, you can trust that your instructor is not only qualified but passionate about building water confidence and safety in every student.

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 Safety Harbor, 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.

We stand by the quality of our instructors and offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. While we are confident in our rigorous selection process (all instructors are background-checked and CPR-certified), we want you to have the perfect match. If you're not completely satisfied with your first lesson, just let us know, and we'll restart your lessons with a new instructor or refund your unused lessons, your choice.

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.

Our swim instructors travel to your home or community pool. Learn to Swim Guaranteed
