Certification N/A
Hello! My name is Michael Hodge. I learned to swim when I was 4 years old. To this day, I remember having an incredible instructor who helped me get over my immense fear of swimming. In fact, my original fear turned into an inspiration as I, shortly after finishing my lessons, began competitively swimming and continued to do so from grade school through college. I was fortunate enough to have incredible coaches who helped me excel at the sport along the way. However, it was through my fear, as a beginner, that inspired me to instruct as I, to this day, remember how overwhelmed I was. Ive coached at Damien and Claremont High School as well as taught lessons at Pomona and Citrus College since February 2019. I look forward to meeting you!

Certification N/A
Hello everyone! My name is Arizah Carroll and this will be my third year teaching professional swimming lessons. I started coaching when I was 17 years old, going through over a month of training to work with ages as young as 4 months old. I believe swimming should be introduced to children as young as possible to instill water safety skills as instinct. Although the second most important thing about swimming is the fun, the first will always be safety. As a swim instructor, I like to work with children with encouragement, kindness, patience, and discipline while always encouraging them to keep having fun!

Every package includes a certified, background-checked instructor who comes to your home or preferred pool.

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 Upland, our instructors teach year-round, so you can start lessons whenever you’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 Upland or across Inland Empire. 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 Upland, where backyard pools, community centers 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 Upland, 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.
