Private Swim Lessons
in Herald, CA

Herald Swim LessonsDriving kids all over Herald for swim lessons can be aggravating: between struggling to get through traffic to get there on time and classes scheduled at the least convenient possible time, maybe you’ve asked yourself “Is it worth it?”The good news? There’s a better, faster, less stressful way to help everyone in your family be more confident in the water: private swimming lessons with a Sunsational Swim instructor in Herald! When you choose us as your swim school, we bring personalized lessons to your club, community pool, or even your own backyard. Everyone knows that kids learn better when they have one-on-one attention, so it’s no surprise if you haven’t been impressed by the results from your child’s crowded group lessons at the public pool. And, if you are a reluctant adult that’s finally brave enough to learn to swim, it’s much less nerve-wracking to give it a try for the first time in the comfort and privacy of your Herald home—not next to a class of infants and toddlers who seem ready to compete in the Olympics!From start to finish, we make learning to swim convenient, cost-effective, and confidence-building. To get started, enter your zip code and answer a few brief registration questions, and we’ll match you with a top-notch swim teacher who will come to you: any time of day, anywhere in Herald. From early-morning sessions to prepare for a military swim test, to weekday afternoons after school to work on stroke technique for a swim team tryout, there’s no schedule that our Sunsational instructors can’t accommodate.Does it sound too good to be true? It’s not—and because we’re so sure we’ll deliver the results you want, you can take advantage of our Sunsational Learn-to-Swim Guarantee (for kids 3 and up), if your swimmer is still unable to turn around and reach the wall after our twelve-lesson package. Why not sign up for Herald swim lessons today and see the Sunsational difference for yourself?

Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Herald

Our Focus: Water Safety

Our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee emphasizes each student’s ability to turn around and swim back to the wall after an unintentional fall into the pool. Swimmers throughout Herald have learned to be safer in their own backyards with Sunsational’s private swimming lessons, learning these critical skills in the comfort of home swimming pools.

Scheduling at Your Convenience

Private swim lessons scheduled at the time that works best for YOU are the ultimate in stress-free swimming in the greater Herald area. Whether you have multiple kids that you want to schedule back-to-back or an adult in the family that needs lessons on their lunch break, our instructors can accommodate your calendar!

Individualized Lesson Planning

We understand that every swimmer brings a different set of skills and challenges to the water, so our personalized lessons help each student to conquer their fears and make real progress in their water safety skills. Not only do our infant and toddler classes help even the youngest swimmers to be able to turn around and get to the side of the pool, but our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee (for kids ages 3 and up) provides up to four extra lessons at no charge if your swimmer hasn’t mastered our “Sunsational Swim Sequence” by the 12th class.

Which Pool? You Decide!

Our Sunsational instructors will work with you at your favorite pool in Herald, whether it’s down the street or just outside your back door.

Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
Miriam at Sunsational is a very knowledgeable swim instructor. I had significant improvement in my swimming skills in just first couple of days of my training with her. She's passionate about her job and was motivated to get me to be better swimmer than I'd imagined. She exactly knows how to switch lessons to get you comfortable in water and achieve the desired skills. I would recommend her for anyone.. kids, adults, learning to swim for the first time or wanting to improve on swimming skills. It's definitely a very effective way to learn swimming in a very short time.

I have twins and at first they had stranger danger, but Vlad has been SO patient and warm welcoming to my babies that they are finally warming up! He has gone above and beyond to do anything to get my babies to warm up with him. It is working and I'm seeing improvement every class! He is wonderful. Even if at the end they don't know how to swim, I am very pleased with him and it is getting my babies comfortable with being in the water. I would definitely recommend!

Elk Grove, California
We could not be happier with our instructor, Mr. Jarod. It takes patience to work with an energetic 3 year old. Jarod has gained our grandsons trust in the pool.
Because of our schedule we are unable to do daily swim lessons. Jarod has worked with our schedule.
Jarod is prompt and is an excellent communicator!
Thank you!

Alison was so patient with my son. She was firm and expected him to push past his fear but she then praised him and built up his confidence. We never heard her waver in her support of him. He learned a lot of skills in 6 short days, but above all, he's more confident in the water. I would hire Alison again in a heartbeat, and actually wonder if it is possible to rebook the same teacher if she's available next summer. Thanks!

"Kelly from Sunsational was fantastic. This has been our second year with Kelly. We have two daughters ages 2 and 5. Kelly has been patient and effective with both of the girls. Our 2 year old can be a challenge but Kelly managed it with ease. Our 5 year old has made tremendous improvements this year and is a much more independent swimmer and I feel much better about her safety in the pool. I sincerely hope that Kelly will be able to teach the girls again next summer. I highly recommend Kelly, she did a fantastic job!" Kristin H.

Wonderful! It's a huge investment, but so important. We love having the instructor in our home rather than having to travel to a public pool. I spoke with Sunsational and they answered all of my questions. Easy to schedule and I love that the have highly qualified instructors. Our instructor is Alison and she is so patient and yet making great progress with our 4 year old son. He did not know how to swim and hates putting his face in the water. 4th lesson he's going underwater and she has let him go a little bit at a time to swim on his own. Wow! I was so impressed and so pleased. After Alison left my son asked if we could invite her over for his birthday party - yes the very same boy who asked me to cancel all the lesson's on his 2nd day. Thank you Alison!!!

Kayla was a great swim teacher. We have had lessons in the past and never felt like the kids learned or progressed much. Kayla is fun and kind but firm. She is truly knowledgeable about teaching swimming and has helped my kids tremendously!
Whitney H
Sacramento, CA
Living outside of the city has been difficult to get into swim lessons classes. This was a great and easy way for us to get personalized lessons at convenient times for 2 different aged kids. Our instructor was fabulous. My 3 1/2 yr old can swim and my 8yr old could compete on a swim team if chooses. Scheduling lessons and adjusting times directly with the instructor was great with our changing schedule.

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 Herald, CA and surrounding areas.

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.

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.
