Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Tustin

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 Tustin 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 Tustin 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.

Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
From start to finish, Sunsational was a pleasure to work with! I filled out a request form, and within 24 hours we had a swim instructor respond to our request. We got paired with Coco (Nicole) and she was amazing! My son is 5 and we wanted him to get comfortable in the water, as we had just finished building our pool. He had basics but needed someone that knew what they were really doing to help him progress, and Coco was that person! She was patient, kind, and very knowledgeable. She is CPR certified and taught my son how to float on his back, kick correctly, so many things I could go on and on. Most importantly, she made me feel comfortable with him in our pool, and he loved her! She made it fun and my son always looked forward to Coco coming to swim. I would highly recommend Coco if you are in the Temecula area. She's the best!

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.

Our 7 year old daughter has been taking swimming lessons for the last four summers. We just finished our third lesson with Randy and he truly is outstanding! He gets under the water to correct her strokes and has all kinds of fun exercises to improve her form. The best part? He comes to our community pool so we don't have to drive anywhere. Two thumbs up!
