KIMBERLY D. has been a wonderful instructor to work with. She corresponds with me frequently, is easy to schedule lessons with, and, is always on time. We have had a few schedule changes and KIMBERLY has accommodated us very well. Kimberly is persistent, kind, patient, entertaining and a fabulous teacher. She is teaching our "19 month old" to be water safe, and, after 6 lessons the concept of holding onto the coping of the pool and moving sideways to the steps or climb out of the pool on her own is sinking in. Plus, I can't say enough about Sunsational Swim School, so easy to work with, great staff!!!!! Thank you Sunsational for sending us KIMBERLY!!!!! You truly are LIFE SAVER
This service, and our instructor Emily C. specifically, has been an absolute game changer for our 5yo son, Jack. After just a couple of lessons, Jack was totally comfortable floating by himself and treading water in the pool - a couple lessons after that and the kid is swimming from the shallow end to the deep end (30ft away) all by himself! His confidence is amazing to see and he now plays Marco Polo in the deep end with his older brother and joins the big boy diving games! We could not be happier with the Sunsational Swim School as well as Emily's fantastic attitude and instructor skills.
Heydi is the best swimming instructor we've ever had. She has a keen understanding of the strokes and a great instinct of the building blocks of swimming. She is calm and encouraging and got my 11 year old interested again in swimming lessons. My seven year old skipped to the pool knowing she was coming! He loved his lessons with Heydi! And let's just say, that's not how it was at other swim schools. Thanks Heydi for putting the joy back into swimming for my children!
I am so pleased with our swim lessons this summer! Claire was an excellent swim teacher, who provided the right balance of staying focused and having fun. The kids made so much progress under her instruction. Claire was also very accommodating when our schedule changed.
Kimberly has been a wonderful instructor to my 3-year old son Logan! He loves getting in the water with her for his lessons and has made tremendous progress in a short amount of time. I believe one-on-one is the best way to teach a child to swim because you're not wasting time waiting on the progress of the other children. I will definitely request Kimberly beyond our initial 12-lesson package and plan to start lessons for my 1-year old daughter as well.
I booked a package of 12 semi-private lessons for my 2 children ages 5 and 7. We were paired with Emily C. We were lucky that Emily agreed to come all the way up to Solana Beach. You can't beat the convenience of swimming lessons at home. One can tell that Emily loves teaching swimming. The kids enjoyed her, both progressed and learned a lot. My oldest is ready for a youth Swim Team! I definitely recommend Emily from Sunsational Swim School!
This is my second summer using Sunsational Swim School. Our new instructor, Claire is wonderful! My extremely shy daughter responded well right away to her instruction. She does such a great job making the classes fun and a safe learning environment. Thanks to Claire, my daughter is pool safe!
We had such a great experience with Mia. She did a great job encouraging my 2 year old and adapting her coaching skills to his age level. I saw progress immediately and couldn't have asked for more.
Mary is wonderful with my 3-year-old son! She is patient and observant- she changes up lessons to match his learning style so he learns gently and efficiently. Would definitely recommend Mary!
Nick was fantastic with my 3yo son from day 1. He made the session fun and interactive with lots of cool ways to learn swimming. Thanks Nick for such great lessons this summer. We hope to take future lessons with you.
If you're not happy with your swim lessons after your first lesson, contact us and we'll restart your lesson package with another instructor or provide a refund, your choice!
