Where do children usually drown in Washington DC? Regrettably, the most common answer is “in their own pool”. That’s why our lessons put a great deal of emphasis on the “Sunsational Safety Sequence”: turning around and reaching the wall of the pool after accidentally falling into the water, and it forms the core of our Learn-to-Swim Guarantee for swimmers ages 3 and older.
Fitting kids into less-than-convenient group lesson schedules feels like fitting a square peg into a round hole! At Sunsational, you get to choose the exact day and time that is most convenient for you. Tuesdays and Thursdays before dinner? Weekend afternoons after soccer? A toddler and an older child in back-to-back sessions three Saturdays a month? It’s up to you!
Most group swim instructors aren’t able to take the time to discover each student’s strengths, challenges, and needs. Sunsational Swim teachers work one-on-one with each swimmer, to recognize and respect individuals’ abilities, helping each child progress in the way that is most appropriate, encouraging, and effective for them.
Down the block or in your backyard: you’ll love seeing the time (and money!) you save when a Sunsational Swim instructor travels to YOU!
We believe our students deserve the best, so we work with only the best swim instructors in Washington DC. Every Sunsational swim teacher has a minimum of 2 years teaching experience, is CPR/First Aid certified, passes a national background check, and has a proven track record of successful teaching before they even land an interview with Sunsational. We screen for the best so you don't have to, and we stand by all our swim instructors with our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Why? Because we know great instructors means fast results!
