Jennifer did a wonderful job making sure Matthew was comfortable in the water. We started swim lessons with him a little before 18months and she was able to get him to kick, move his harms, learn how to use the stairs to get and at his age I feel like that is a huge accomplishment. She made sure it was fun for him and he left the lessons saying fun! We plan to get more lessons with her in the future.

We’ve had a great experience with our swim instructor, Britney! She’s made the lessons easy and comfortable for our 18 month old (as well as for my husband and me). We truly feel our daughter is in safe hands, and it’s been great to see her start learning the basic foundations and safety of swimming, and to see her confidence grow!

'Our swim instructor, Regina, was amazing with our son Leo. She was super patient with him and helped him learn new strengths in the pool. Highly recommend!' Olivia Thomas

Olivia T.

Olivia is absolutely wonderful! She has shown our son how to become more confident in the water and has really taken the time to help him learn the techniques of swimming. He is 3 and we are so much more comfortable with him being in a pool then we were before because of how much he has excelled in his swimming. He was enrolled in a swim school before but he kept repeating the same techniques over and over each week. We saw he needed more of a challenge and an opportunity to learn more techniques. Olivia came in and assessed him and we talked about the techniques we wanted him to learn therefore he is getting what he needs to be a better swimmer and understand water safety. We are extremely happy with his progress and will be booking lessons with Sunsantional Swim School for our 2nd baby boy when he gets a little older. I hope Olivia is available to be his swim teacher too!

Linda F.

Natalia was amazing with my 2 and 4 year olds. My 4 year old really enjoyed the lessons and Natalia taught my 2 year old each day even when he wasn't interested. Highly recommend!

Jacqui S.

Our swim instructor Olivia has been awesome with our almost 2 year old daughter.

Arlene was a great instructor!! We had 2 little ones under 2 and she was super patient with them. She always was careful to make sure they were having a good time. She wanted smiles and no tears because she knew that was the best way for them to learn. I would love to use her again in the future when little ones are older!!

Sensational was very easy to work with. They were very communicative and matched us promptly with an instructor, whom my kids loved. Our instructor, Alexa, was amazing with kids and as patient as they come (my kids' ages are 3 1/2 and 2). My 3 1/2 is now an avid swimmer and my 2 year old is so comfortable with the water, she will be swimming come next summer in no time. I highly recommend this company, although pricier, they certainly take good care of you.

'I cannot recommend Lizz highly enough! She has been an amazing swimming coach for my toddlers. Her patience and kindness made the learning experience so enjoyable for the kids. She took the time to make each child feel comfortable in the water, showing incredible understanding of their individual needs. Not only did she teach them the basics of swimming, but she also instilled a sense of water discipline that I found very impressive. My toddlers felt safe and supported, and their progress under her guidance has been remarkable. If you're looking for a coach who can effectively balance fun, safety, and skill-building, Lizz is the one!' -Qasim K.

Arlene has been amazing helping my 20 month old get comfortable in the water. He used to cling to us and was terrified of letting go. In 2 short sessions Arlene has my son floating on his belly with assistance and laying back in the water with assistance. We can't recommend Sunsational enough!

Swim lessons with Marianela Freites have been wonderful. We started working with her when my son was about 10 months and now at 1 year old, he feels so comfortable in the water that he jumps in the pool on his own, swims and kicks by himself, opens his eyes underwater to pick up toys and brings himself to the ledge/ stands up on the steps. Marianela has been very kind and gentle with my son and me, allowing it to be a safe and fun experience at each lesson for us both! I highly recommend working with her.

Jennifer T.

We wanted to start getting our 2yr old comfortable with the water and explored various options to get her signed up in swim lessons. We found Mr. Josiah through Sunsational Swim School. We booked a 12 lesson package and are very pleased with the progress our daughter has made during the last months. She has grown more comfortable around water and learned important water survival skills. Through this journey Mr. Josiah was very patient with our daughter, he knows how to keep our daughter engaged with games and a positive attitude. A few times we had to reschedule our lessons and Mr. Josiah was very flexible! I would definitely recommend Sunsational Swim School and Mr. Josiah for your next swim lessons!

I had no idea what to expect when I came across this company, but I was on a MISSION to get my girls swimming QUICKLY... so I thought I'd give 1 on 1 lessons a try. Josiah Mwangi was our AMAZING swim coach, he had my girls (ages 4 and 6) swimming after only 2 lessons!!! He is EXTREMELY flexible, patient, and most importantly a fantastic swim coach. 'Mr. Josiah' as my girls call him- is extremely perceptive and responsive to the needs and wants of my girls, and he has helped them become confident and capable swimmers in record time. Now we are working on perfecting their strokes for Swim Team next year! Thank you SO much Josiah!!!

5 reasons to start swim lessons for your baby now

Many York Road parents wonder if their baby is too young to start learning to swim. They think babies will eventually learn the skills on their own, or that the skill isn’t necessary. Here’s why starting lessons early is a smart choice:

Water safety starts early

Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children under four. Babies are naturally curious, which is why baby swimming lessons make so much sense. An awareness of the water, and water safety skills, could very well save your child’s life one day.

Decreased risk of drowning

It’s impossible to watch over your children every second. Most daycare facilities have pool or splash days during the summer or have field trips that include water fun. Children can drown in less than 1 inch of water, particularly if the person is under the age of 4. Swimming lessons help decrease the risk of drowning.

Encourages social interaction

Swimming and playing in the pool with parents and other babies helps boost babies' social development. Babies learn through shared experiences, laughter, and engaging in activities together. Your child shouldn't have to skip these character-forming moments due to a fear of the water or because you simply haven't found the time for swim lessons.

Builds their strength

For babies, swimming helps strengthen their muscles, improve coordination, and enhance their motor skills – all without any unnecessary stress on joints. Plus, the water’s resistance provides a full-body workout, even for the tiniest of swimmers. Swimming may even help learn to walk sooner thanks to better muscle control.

Lifelong skill that starts early

Swimming is a skill for life. Providing your baby with swimming lessons opens up a whole new arena of fun and fitness that they can participate in all their lives. If you don't know how to swim, consider taking a parent and baby swim class together or taking adult swim lessons on your own. Create core memories in the water, together!

How parent and baby swim lessons help build confidence around the water

Babies as young as six months old benefit from pool time in the arms of a trusted adult. Infant swim lessons allow your child to enjoy the water before they have a chance to learn fear. Positive pool experiences help babies remain calm so they can progress to learn effective water navigation skills such as kicking and back floats.

How parent and baby swim lessons help image

75%of children who drown were out of sight for five minutes or less

9 out of 10drowning deaths occur while an adult is present

The benefits of swim lessons extend beyond the pool. The sensory and motor stimulation resulting from pool time creates new neurons that positively impact confidence and even intelligence. Bilateral movements, or using both sides of the body, help increase the connections between the two hemispheres of the brain, which will later help with skills like language development, spatial awareness and reading.

How to prepare your baby for swim lessons

Not ready for a formal class yet? Start at home! Simple activities in the bathtub, like gently pouring water over your baby’s head, introducing words like “kick” and “splash”, or laying them on their back in shallow water, can help them feel comfortable in the water before their first lesson.

When you’re ready for the pool, help your baby be successful with these tips:

1
Feed them at least 30 minutes before a lesson to prevent tummy discomfort
2
Pack essentials like swim diapers, towels, dry clothes, and fresh diapers
3
Arrive early so you have time to get ready
4
Ease into the water to keep the experience positive

Water safety is always the number one priority

Even the most comprehensive and successful water training program isn’t enough to drown-proof your child. Babies should always be within arm’s reach in the water, and children should never swim unsupervised. The goal of baby swimming lessons is to reduce the chance of accidental drowning, but it can’t guarantee to prevent it completely. Even if your little one was the star of the class, you should still be vigilant in your supervision to ensure that the water provides positive experiences for years to come.

Got questions?

We have answers. What age can babies start swim lessons?

No. Sunsational Swim School’s infant swim lessons are based on a child-centered and caring approach that focuses on building trust and rapport with the instructor and wonderment and respect of the water. When designing your baby’s swim lesson plan, our instructors consider all aspects of the well-being of your baby, including physical and emotional. Your swim instructor will create a safe environment for your baby to learn water-safety skills that include back floating, roll over breathing, “swim-float-swim”, the monkey crawl, and what to do after a fall into the pool. All of these skills are taught in a way that’s both fun and educational, using games, repetition, and even songs, at a pace that’s healthy for your little one.

Yes! Sunsational specializes in private, at-home baby swimming lessons, where our instructors come directly to your pool or community facility in York Road. It’s the easiest way for your baby to learn in a calm, familiar setting.

We make scheduling easy. Morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend lessons are avaialble 6AM-8PM to fit your family’s lifestyle. 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 York Road, our instructors teach year-round, so you can start lessons whenever you’re ready.

Every child is unique and develops at their own pace. Physical and emotional readiness, motor skills and willingness all play a role in the pace your baby learns. However, the most common and most influential factors in the student’s learning pace we find is repetition and consistency. We recommend our baby students take 3 lessons per week for maximum skill retention and fast progression. Most of our students make significant progress within 12 to 18 lessons in our baby swim classes.

Yes. Swimming is not only defined as the four major swim strokes, but the ability to propel through the water. Your baby can learn how to use their little limbs, breathing and sense of direction to deliberately move from point a to b in the water, once they start walking. These skill sets are learned in a progressive manner and each child learns at a different pace. Our infant swim lesson teachers are experienced in coaching your baby to learn these skills in a fun, encouraging, and accelerated way. Even if your baby is not ready to swim, we'll work on swim and safety skills like blowing bubbles (breath control), kicking, rolling over onto our back and floating.

Your baby’s first swim lesson is designed to be gentle, fun, and completely pressure-free. The goal isn’t to make your baby swim right away—it’s to help them feel safe, happy, and relaxed in the water. Tears on the first day are not unexpected!

Your Sunsational instructor will start by introducing your baby to the pool gradually: gentle splashing, floating with support, and playful water exploration. Parents or caregivers are always encouraged to be present.

Most York Road parents begin lessons around 6 months old, when babies can comfortably hold their heads up and start exploring the water. Babies who have early exposure to swim lessons and the water are proven to have reduced anxieties and emotional obstacles learning how to swim. The water at this age is a familiar place as it’s similar to floating in the womb. Sunsational’s certified instructors offer private, at-home baby swimming lessons throughout Charlotte, helping your little one feel confident and safe early on.

Absolutely. Every Sunsational instructor in York Road is certified in CPR and insured under our company liability insurance policy. What's more, every Sunsational swim instructor has a minimum of 2 season's of teaching experience. We emphasize comfort, floating, and water awareness—always at your baby’s pace.

Every child learns differently, but with consistent, one-on-one instruction, most York Road infants begin floating and showing swim readiness within our 12 or 18 lesson package. Sunsational’s personalized approach—taught in your own pool—helps babies progress faster than in group lessons. We find that the most common and most influential factors in the student’s learning pace are repetition and consistency. To that end, we recommend our baby students take 3 lessons per week for maximum skill retention and fast progression.

While we specialize in private, at-home infant swim classes in York Road, you do not need to have a pool to register for our lessons. Our infant swim teachers near you can meet you at any pool of your choice in Charlotte. In some areas, we even have some swim instructors who can provide a pool for your lessons. To find out if we have instructors with pool access in your specific area, you can begin a registration here

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 York Road, 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.

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.
