Hello! I'm Arthur Noriega, a professional swimmer and swim instructor who has been working in the industry since September 2017. I have varsity swimming experience that spans over nine total years, beginning when I started swimming competitively in middle school. My background includes teaching at beaches, private pools, community centers, and especially the Olympic-sized pools I was used to seeing when I lived in Florida.

Sunsational Certified Since 2024
Hi! My name is Adam Gross and I cant wait to meet you all! From a young age Ive always been drawn to the water, and at 8 years old started playing Water Polo. From then I would dedicate almost 17 years to the sport, which led me to success in college and the international and professional arena, as well as coaching. The water is second nature to me. Not only the techniques of swimming but a deeper foundation of control over the water one can only learn from skills attained in water polo. I hope to teach these basic foundations so that your child will feel safe and confident in any water situation, and loving every second!

Im the fun-loving teacher that every student enjoys and loves to work with! I love teaching children as I can easily connect with them to properly help them reach their swimming potential. Ive worked with hundreds and hundreds of students from infants to older adults. With more than 10 years of swim instructor and lifeguard experience, I know how to help each student as best as I can from the experience Ive gained over the years from various aquatic programs. I first learned to swim as a child after an incident at the pool, which then gave me such a love for the water once I learned how to swim. My goal is to make sure I continue to pass on the gift of swimming to as many people as possible to ensure the water safety of everyone.

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 West Hollywood, 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 West Hollywood or across Los Angeles County. 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 West Hollywood, where backyard pools, condo pools, beaches 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.

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.
