Zoe has been both patient and persistent with our fearful kindergartener to get him comfortable with swimming. Every week she gets him to do something new; this week it was floating on his back. He adores her and for the first time he looks forward to getting in the pool. We are big fans!
Katie Blair was a fantastic swim instructor for our two kids - fun, friendly, professional. The kids loved her and learned a ton. Would definitely recommend.
I scheduled my 5 YO for swim lessons and from the time I was connected with the instructor (Grant) to completing the lesson package was a great experience. Customer service is a lost art and Grant gives me hope that there are people who truly care about their job. Grant scheduled a phone call well in advance of the first class to gain a better understanding of what we wanted to accomplish and to understand what works and what doesn't for our child in a learning environment. In addition, Grant would always text to confirm our scheduled class which I always appreciate. As soon as my 5 YO met Grant, they immediately felt at ease and you could feel Grant's confidence and presence. He encouraged where necessary spoke with a gentle authority and above all made sure to have fun!! Thanks Grant and hope many more families get the opportunity to have you as an instructor!

James was an excellent instructor. My kids are now more confident swimmers and love swimming. James got them motivated to continue learning water sports. James was always on time, provided lesson feedback and what each kid should work on for practice, and was always very kind. My kids had the best time! We moved to another area of the county and I hope we will be able to find an instructor like James again. If you want your kiddo(s) to become proficient and love learning, definitely go with Sunsational!
Ms. Christina has been so good with our group of 6 kiddos. We have two babies, two beginners and two intermediate swimmers that make up our group and she has done a wonderful job of teaching each of them at their levels and pushing them to learn new skills every day. We are very happy that we chose Sunsational Swim.

We have loved the 1-1 fun & learning with Grant Still. He has a great attitude even when my crazy 3 year old is splashing him in the face. He has taught him skills and created a level of excitement about swimming for my son. We have all thoroughly enjoyed the time and care put into each lesson.

Everyone knows that kids learn better when they have one-on-one attention, so it's no surprise if you haven't been impressed by the results from your child's crowded group lessons at the public pool. And, if you are a reluctant adult that's finally brave enough to learn to swim, it's much less nerve-wracking to give it a try for the first time in the comfort and privacy of your San Marcos home—not next to a class of infants and toddlers who seem ready to compete in the Olympics!
