Our instructors travel to you and personalize swim lesson plans for learners of all ages—infants, toddlers, older children, and adults—to improve their swimming ability in a matter of weeks.

Because our at-home swimming lessons are taught one-on-one, our training builds momentum that provides remarkable progress in just a short time. Say goodbye to cookie-cutter swimming lessons that leave your swimmer hanging out by the side of the pool, learning nothing while the teacher works with other students!

Our proven, effective approach to swimming lessons (we're new to Santa Barbara, but #1 in America when it comes to mobile swim lessons!) uses encouragement and sequential learning, to allow each student to quickly grasp the ability to be safe in and around the water. Particularly with our younger swimmers, we first focus on knowing how to avoid a fall into a pool, and how to turn around and get to the wall if they do wind up in the water.

After years of experience and success teaching swimming lessons throughout the country, we off an exclusive Learn to Swim Guarantee for children ages 3 years and older. Our Learn-to-Swim Guaranteed Packages focus on your swimmer’s ability to turn around and get to the wall unassisted if they fall into the pool: if your child can’t demonstrate that “Sunsational Swim Sequence” by the twelfth lesson, we’ll give you up to four additional classes for free!

There's never been a better, faster or more convenient way to enjoy private swimming lessons in Santa Barbara! Sign up today and experience the Sunsational difference risk free! If you're not satisfied with your first swim lesson, we'll match you with a different swim instructor or refund you for your unnused lessons - your choice!

Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Santa Barbara

Our Priority Is Water Safety

The majority of child drownings happen when they are unable to safely exit the water after a fall into the water. For this reason, our Santa Barbara swim lessons emphasize teaching kids to find the side of the pool, turn around, and swim to the side.

Scheduling at Your Convenience

Want to plan your infant’s lessons before lunchtime? Definitely! What about an evening session for a reluctant adult that’s always wanted to learn to swim? We can do that! The time of day that best fits your busy life is a great time for a Sunsational Swim lesson.

Lesson Plans Unique to You

Our teachers use gentle encouragement and a progressive approach to plan lessons to meet each swimmer’s unique needs and rapidly learn the skills needed to be safer in and around the water. We’ve seen such consistent results with our program that we offer a Learn-to-Swim Guarantee package for ages 3 and up (infant and toddler lessons excluded).

You Choose the Pool

Your life often feels like it’s on fast-forward, right? Who wants to drive across Santa Barbara in order to get to overfilled swimming lessons when a Sunsational Swim teacher can bring a private swim class to your home or favorite local pool?

Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
I am happy to have found Sunsational Swim School. We contacted them late, but they worked hard to find us an instructor. Alina, our instructor, was exceptional. Beginning the first lesson you could see she was a fantastic instructor. Both my kids improved a lot. My eldest (12) has significantly improved his freestyle and has now been introduced to all four swimming strokes. My youngest (7) can now swim across our pool and enjoys being in the pool so much (in fact, he usually doesn't want to leave now). I highly recommend Sunsational and Alina.
