My 9 year old was afraid of water and we couldn't get him to learn swimming with 2 other schools. He has been learning swimming from Jennifer and within 10 days, he has completely transformed and loves water/swimming now. We can't thank you enough for the same

Olivia has been amazing! My daughter loves her and looks forward to her lessons. My daughter is confident when she goes into the water now and I feel confident in her ability to stay safe. An amazing instructor. Highly recommend!

Lauren is a wonderful swimming instructor. She is patient and kind and has made the lessons fun for my 4 year old son. After taking 12 lessons my son can swim underwater, float and swim above water. I did the class Monday - Thursday.

Javed was excellent with my 2 year old twins! They were afraid of the water and by the end of the session they were very comfortable and able to put their heads under without screaming. He was really kind and patient. I definitely recommend Javed and Sunsational Swim

I’m so happy with our instructor Kristin Rankin. She is perfect for my daughter who adores her. She is patient and fun and most importantly I know she puts my daughter's safety first. Thank you!

My daughter's instructor Robin is wonderful, I cannot say enough about how much fun it is for my daughter to learn to swim. Sunsational Swim School offers a great and very convenient program. I was searching for a while for a good swimming instructor for my daughter until I came across Sunsational, and once they paired me with Robin, she was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Sunsational!

Amanda has been such a super swim instructor. She is very patient with our five-year-old daughter and always shows up on time. My daughter looks forward so much to each lesson that she marks each one on her on the calendar

Olivia had been an excellent teacher for my 4 yr old great grandson! Very patient and he loves her. Olivia definitely understands toddlers. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in lessons.

Kirk has been great with our 2.5 yo son. He's so patient and really understands what it takes to communicate with a child his age. It's been a great experience to watch my son learn and experience new things in the water with his instructor.
