Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Clearwater

Focus on Water Safety

Where do most young children drown in Clearwater? Sadly, the answer is “in their own swimming pool”. For this reason, our lessons prioritize the “Sunsational Safety Sequence”: turning around and reaching the side of the pool after an accidental fall into the water. We make that sequence the heart of our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee for students ages 3 and older.

Convenient Scheduling

Trying to fit kids into group lessons can often feel like fitting a square peg into a round hole! With Sunsational, you set the day of the week and the time that is the best fit for you. Weekdays before lunch? Weekend afternoons? Multiple children in back-to-back lessons three days a week? Absolutely!

Customized Lesson Plans

Most swim lessons take a one-size-fits-all approach to instruction, but Sunsational lessons are personalized for each swimmer. Our teachers recognize and honor individual needs, differences, and strengths, and their one-on-one lessons are tailored to help your child progress in the way that is most effective for them.

Home or Community Pool: Your Choice!

You select the pool that fits your active lifestyle, whether that’s down the street or at your home. You’ll soon see how much money and time you save when you have a Sunsational Swim instructor that comes to YOU!

Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
Debbie is amazing! My autistic daughter was terrified of going in the water without flotation support. Within two lessons my daughter proudly ditched the floaties forever! Within six lessons my daughter is swimming across the deep end of the pool unassisted. Based on the progress my daughter has made with Debbie, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get their little one up to speed quickly.

Positive and Encouraging! An Absolute Success!

Sunsational Swim School is a brilliant company! I hired them, recently, so my girls could learn to swim, and was absolutely impressed and pleased with the experience. The swim coach who was working with us was wonderfully accommodating, and very flexible about weather-dependent rescheduling. She was incredibly positive, and she put a lot of effort into meeting my youngest (four years old) at her (nervous, intimidated) level, and encouraging her, in the water. I really cannot speak highly enough of their service, and would absolutely recommend them!

St Petersburg, FL
Unfortunately, I had a very bad experience with water (near drown) and since then, I didn't want to be near water. I was scared to even allow myself to be fully in water. But it was a fear that I really wanted to overcome. So I contacted Sunsational Swim and within a couple of days, they paired me up with Apple, a professional Olympic swimmer. I was very wary before my lesson, not sure what to expect, but Apple was wonderful! She was so understanding, had so much patience, and just wanted me to be comfortable in the water. She constantly encouraged as I dealt with my fear, always saying I was doing a good job, and giving me the confidence to do it. I have taken 4 lessons so far, and although I still don't know how to swim or how to be in water, I am feeling much more confident. I don't see the water anymore as an enemy, thanks to my wonderful instructor, Apple. Thank you so much Apple and Sunsational Swim for working with me on overcoming my fear!

Morgan is the best! Flexible, knowledgeable, dependable and so fun!

My enthusiastic 2.5 year old swimmer was already very brave in the water and Morgan was able to keep up with her and help her learn so many skills! The puddle jumper had my little one use to swimming up right and Morgan totally changed that! My girl can not only swim from the wall to me(not super super far but far!) but she can jump in the water and turn around and swim back to the wall!

Can't recommend them enough!

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.

Marcella R
Dunedin, FL 34698
Hi, my name is Marcella and I've been a swim instructor since 1995. I teach all ages but my favorite students are young children because taking them on the journey of reluctance or fear of water to being safe while having fun in the water is very gratifying. While employed at a community foundation for DD adults, my favorite part of the curriculum was "swim day". Teaching students how to have fun in the water while placing safety first has always been my priority.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age groups do you offer private swim lessons for?
We offer private swim lessons for swimmers of all ages, starting as young as 6 months and going through adulthood. Whether your child is a baby, toddler, or school-age, or you’re an adult looking to overcome a fear of water, our experienced instructors create personalized lesson plans to suit every age and skill level.
How long does it take to learn how to swim with private lessons?
While every swimmer is different, we proudly offer a Learn to Swim Guarantee for children ages 3 and up. Most students meet their water safety goals within just 12 lessons. Private swim lessons allow for one-on-one instruction, so learning is typically much faster compared to group lessons.
What are the benefits of private swim lessons vs group?
Private swim lessons offer personalized attention, ensuring each student receives tailored instruction based on their unique learning style and needs. In a private setting, the instructor can focus entirely on the swimmer's progress, allowing for faster skill development and addressing specific concerns or fears. There are also other considerations when you ask "are private swim lessons worth it?" In most cases, we find the answer to be yes.
Where is your pool located?
We specialize in private, at-home swimming lessons. Our swim instructors come to you and service all of Clearwater, FL and surrounding areas.
What happens if I don’t have a pool at home?
No pool? No problem! Many of our clients use a neighborhood or community pool for their lessons. Our swim instructors are happy to meet you at any safe, local pool of your choosing. .

We ensure that every instructor has at least two years of teaching experience and undergoes rigorous background checks. Every instructor is fully insured and covered under Sunsational Swim School's insurance policy.
What is your Learn to Swim Guarantee?
Our Learn to Swim Guarantee promises that children ages 3 years and older will demonstrate critical water safety skills after 12 private lessons. Specifically, they’ll be able to swim to the side of the pool after an unexpected fall. If your child hasn’t reached this milestone, we’ll offer up to four additional lessons at no cost to ensure they meet the goal.
What is the cost and how many lessons are typically required?
The cost of private swim lessons varies based on the package you choose, with options ranging from 6 to 18 lessons. For most students, we recommend at least 12 lessons to build essential swimming and water safety skills, and we proudly offer a Learn to Swim Guarantee within those 12 lessons for children ages 3 and up.
