Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Newport Beach

Focus on Water Safety

Where do most young children drown in Newport Beach? 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
Chanel is a great instructor to both my daughters. My youngest daughter is apprehensive when meeting new people and Chanel's warm personality and patience made my daughter feel at ease. I am amazed at the progress both my daughters (are 2 and 4) in just a few lessons and would highly recommend Sunsational Swim and Chanel in a heartbeat. My oldest daughter can swim across the full length of our pool and my youngest can now float on her back. We look forward for each upcoming session!

Robin is a great instructor! She is on time and once she gets in the pool is instantly engaging with my kids. She knows how to get them to do what she wants them to do by knowing their personalities, working with their strengths and not pushing them to do something they don't want to do. She earns their trust and encourages them along the way. My kids look forward to Coach Robin coming over and while they are having fun, more importantly they are learning how to swim and be safe and confident in the pool (2 yo) and improving swim skills (4yo) which is amazing just after 4, 30 min lessons. We are so happy we decided to invest in this with Sunsational Swim School and are so fortunate to have been matched with Robin!

I found Sunsational Swim School as I was searching for an instructor to give the kids a 12 day crash course for swimming before we left for our summer vacation! With the kids being in school everyday until 5 and both my husband and I working full time, we struggled with finding a swim instructor that could accommodate our schedules! Sunsational Swim quickly matched us with Doreen who was a true blessing! She was incredibly patient and sweet with the kids, made it a point to teach them safety while enhancing their swim skills and was very accommodating to our crazy schedules! Thanks Doreen- we look forward to booking you again when we get back from vacation!

Sunsantional Swim is a professional company that helps you get the right fit for your child! I highly recommend them to anyone. I tried two other companies before finding Sunsantional and the lack of customer service they had was very frustrating but it was a blessing in disguise because Sunsational helped me right away and assured me they would find me the right fit for my kids. I would highly recommend Robin she is not only professional but she is so good with communication and teaching, my kids trust her and have fun all while learning swim safety and swimming!

The instructor Kristin is excellent with working with my child to help him gain confidence and learn to swim! She is patient yet authoritative with my three year old. If he can't focus on one task she changes it up to something different so he is constantly learning and challenging him with new things. My son was timid to get in the pool at first but now looks forward to his lessons! He respects her as a teacher yet thinks of her as a friend.

After trying for 2 summers to teach my 5 year-old daughter to swim on my own, I finally realized I needed professional help. I found Sunsational Swim School and purchased a 12 lesson package (the lessons were 30 minutes each) which we used over the course of 4 weeks, so 3 lessons weekly. We were matched with Patrick, who turned out to be a wonderful swim instructor. Starting out, my daughter had little confidence in the water and was unable to swim on her own. After a few lessons she was confident and excited about swimming and by the end of the program she was able to swim across the pool by herself, float for over a minute, and dive for rings with confidence. She is a totally different kid in the water and I feel great relief knowing she is water safe. I attribute this all to Patrick's knowledge and experience, teaching abilities, and patience. Thank you Patrick and Sunsational!

Anastasia taught my son to swim in a very short period of time. He is 5, already comfortable in the water, but could only play on the steps of the pool without his floaties. In 2 lessons he was able to swim short distances by himself and by the end of his 5th lesson with her he was swimming the length of the pool! I feel so much more comfortable with his swimming abilities now. Anastasia was very calm and patient with him, even when he was nervous and even those times when he was tired and not listening.

We were matched with Miss Jaqueline for swim lessons and absolutely love her! She was very flexible and always on time. She was amazing with my 2 1/2 year old son. He is fairly strong-willed and she remained patient with him always. She communicated with me about my goals for him and what was important to me to have him learn while also focusing on pool safety and basic skills. She brought fun/practical toys to really engage my son. Every time he did something that was being ask of him he then got to play for a minute before moving on to the next thing. My son went from hating back floats (kicking, crying, flailing his arms) to floating calmly and holding still on top of the water all by himself. She definitely knows how to motivate a stubborn 2 1/2 year old and make swimming a lot of fun! My son asks me all the time if Miss Jacqueline could come over to swim with him again.

Travis G. is an excellent swim instructor. He is great with kids, confident in his swim instruction and very enthusiastic. He kept my 6 year old son focused on the task, which is not always an easy thing to do. I liked that he discussed with me, after the 1st session, what his intentions were, which included a lot of repetition, and that I was able to tell him my goals, which were water safety in the event my son were to fall into a deep body of water. He met and surpassed those goals. My son likes the deep end now, whereas before the lessons, he did not know how to tread water and would have been afraid of the deep end. Repetition really does work. Travis was easy to schedule with and made good full use of each 30 minute lesson. My son definitely had a workout and there was not any wasted time. Yet Travis was also able to recognize when my son needed to have some control, by incorporating choices when appropriate.

I have tried numerous swim schools and instructors for my daughter and I haven't had any luck.... until I decided to call Sunsational and we got paired with Travis. At first I was a tad hesitant because he was a guy but honestly he's been the best decision!! My daughter had had only three lessons so far and she is able to swim a little. He is so encouraging, engaging and fun she doesn't ever want her lesson to end! I couldn't be happier! Thank you Travis!!

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 Newport Beach, CA 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. .

All Sunsational Swim Instructors are certified in CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety.

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.
