Hannah R.
Plano, Texas 75093
Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hello! My name is Hannah Reifsnyder. I have been a swim instructor since February 2010. My instruction and knowledge are based on a childhood of competitive swimming through high school. The City of Dallas hired me at 16 years old and threw me into lessons. I taught 8 classes a day, Monday to Friday, for three summers in a row, as well as coached the swim teams. This gave me invaluable experience in adaptive teaching, communication for kids and parents, and a strong emphasis on safety. I moved on to a private institution that allowed me to build a schedule and make a successful living off of swim lessons. This was a 5-8 year job until the facility was sold. The word of mouth from that job provides me clients to this day.
Michael C.
Carrollton, Texas 75007
Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
Hi, Im Coach Todd! I have been coaching swimming since October 1998, as well as working with triathletes. I have coached young childrens swimming exclusively since October 2015. I have coached people as old as 70+ years and as young as four years old. I have seen a lot in my days, and that has helped me identify what people need when it comes to proper swimming technique! And make no mistake, technique is everything. Water is almost 800 times denser than air, so your every movement needs to be with the least resistance possible, and I can show you that! I look forward to helping you on your journey to become a swimmer or a better swimmer!

Hi, my name is Michelle, and I grew up lifeguarding and working with children of various ages. I started SCUBA diving at the age of 16 and have always been a fish in the water! My experience also includes teaching adults who are extremely fearful of the water. I hold a B.A. in psychology and an M.A. in Health Studies. I love teaching swimming because I love knowing my students will develop a healthy and safe mindset when spending time around the pools and lakes.

Sunsational Vetted Since 2025
Hello! My name is Kathryn, and I am eager to offer any swim aid that you may be looking for! I have been in and around water almost all my life and absolutely love it. Most of my swim experience comes from my background in competitive swimming, in which I participated for about 12 years. I have also been involved in swim instructing through positions such as a private and group swim lesson instructor (all ages, including adults), assistant swim team coach (4-year-olds to 7-year-olds), and head swim team coach (5-year-olds to 18-year-olds). I have experience in instructing all skill levels, from those who are only looking to be more comfortable in the water to those who want to get competitive. I believe that I am kind, communicative, and dependable. Thank you!

Vishnu T.
Allen, Texas 75013
Sunsational Vetted Since 2026
Hi, my name is Vishnu Tata! I have a competitive swimming background with five years of club swimming and varsity experience at Allen High School, so I know what good technique looks like and how to build it from the ground up. I have hands-on experience teaching kids ages 3 to 16 at a swim school, so I am comfortable working with toddlers just getting used to the water, all the way up to older kids building real strokes. I know how to keep little ones engaged and how to push older swimmers to improve. I am also a licensed EMT, which means pool safety is something I take seriously. Parents can feel confident that their child is in safe, trained hands during every class.

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 The Colony or across North Texas. 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 The Colony, where backyard pools, HOA pools, lakes 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.

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.
