Private Swim Lessons
in Miami, FL

They say that it’s summer all the time in Miami, so it’s always the right time of year for swim lessons! While your child may have a long way to go before they’re ready to compete in the Swim Miami open-water challenge or to tackle the waves at South Beach, Sunsational Swim School has the perfect instructor to help them make significant progress in their swimming skills.

Our proven, effective approach to swimming lessons in the Miami area uses private, one-on-one classes with gentle encouragement and sequential learning, to allow each student to quickly grasp the ability to be safe in and around the water. Particularly with our younger swimmers, we first focus on knowing how to avoid a fall into a pool, and how to turn around and get to the wall if they do wind up in the water.

Your Sunsational Swim teacher will come to the pool of your choice, anywhere in the greater Miami area, saving you the time and hassle often involved with driving through traffic to get to a crowded group swim lesson. Instead of spending money month after month, hoping that your child will finally learn to swim, you can sit in the comfort of your own home and watch them grasp key skills in a matter of weeks. In fact, we stand by our methods with our exclusive Learn-to-Swim Guarantee package for kids 3 and older: your child will be able to swim to the wall unassisted by the 12th lesson (from a simulated fall), or we’ll provide up to four extra lessons at no charge.

Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
We absolutely loved our swim instructor Eva. She was always very punctual and professional. Our one year old loves the water and has learned to kick, grab the wall of the swimming pool and even blow bubbles! His progress has been remarkable and we have Eva to thank for that.
I had a great experience with Eva. She was gentle and kind which is appreciated because my daughter was only 16 months old. She made my daughter love the water. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you, Eva!
We had the opportunity to take lessons with Eva, she was great with kids, my son was very comfortable learning from her. She helped him with breathing skills, freestyle techniques. We had a great experience with her.
We love Marianela who has been giving lessons to our 10-month-old daughter.
She is patient, warm, and knows when to push and when to just let our daughter have fun. She has made great progress in a short period of time which I couldn't believe such a young child. We recommend Marianela 100%!
Stephanie Villalon is absolutely the best swim instructor on the planet, and now that they’ve confirmed water on mars let’s make that the universe! She is always punctual and respectful, the kids absolutely love her. Our son was terrified of the water and after only a few lessons he was swimming. Today she advised that our last lesson is next week so I asked my son if he would like to continue, he said “I want 100 lessons”. She is also teaching our daughter and we plan in the coming months to have her teach our little baby. Five stars, two thumbs up, and one happy family! So glad to have her!!!
Thank you sincerely Stephanie!
I am so happy Sunsational Swim School paired us up with coach Gary. We did months of swimming lessons in the past with other swim schools and my son was still afraid of the water and never really learned how to swim. In only a few lessons, my son was already swimming from one end of the pool to the other and going under water to grab objects. I am extremely thankful and happy that coach Gary taught my son to finally loose fear of the water and enjoy swimming. -
Hannah was our swim instructor and was AWESOME. Worked well with my little man who can be a little but particular, but he absolutely loved her. She did awesome work communicating to me what they were working on each week and we could see clear progress. She was always responsive to my texts and always knew how many lessons we had left (which I did not ever know because #momlife). I would and will use Hannah again, 100%.
Our experience with Sunsational has been exceptional! Gary is a phenomenal instructor and he is an expert at teaching the skills necessary. His genuine warmth and friendly demeanor helped build a great rapport with our son right away. We are so pleased with his progress so far!
My swim instructor was Marianela F. and she did an amazing job. It's hard enough to teach a 17 year old how to swim but she managed to do it in only 6 lessons. Her lessons were not only educational but also fun.
Marianela F. was our instructor and we absolutely loved her. My two year old daughter looked forward to swimming lessons because she made it fun and interesting. My daughter learned the basics skills to swim within the 6 classes. I would definitely recommend.
