Sunsational teaches students water safety and swimming skills quickly and results are seen in only weeks with our exclusive "Learn to Swim Guarantee!"

Customized scheduling is offered and you can choose the swim lesson days and times that will work best for you. We believe that group swim lessons are often a waste of time for parents, driving the children back and forth to lessons all summer long with little results. At Sunsational, we pride ourselves in providing private swim lessons and instruction where students quickly learn how to be safer in and around the water yet still have fun and enjoy the experience.

Audrey is amazing! She was the perfect teacher for our son. Patient but also pushed him and we saw improovements in just 6 lessons. I was so impressed! Thank you!

I got some lessons for my son, who was six months old. My main concern was just making him as safe as possible with a pool in our backyard. My niece and nephew had done ISR and were able to float on their backs and swim to the side at six months. While I will say, sunsational's customer service is great - their teachers are definitely not equipped to train six month olds.
I tried two different instructors. I really tried to like this place. Both instructors were not able to help my son swim- my son who absolutely loves the water and loves being in the pool.
Potentially for older children this would be a great swim service but definitely not for babies. My son is no safer than the day we started. Waste of a lot of money.
My son cannot float, swim, crab walk- do anything. Very disappointed.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information

Hello Cyndi,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We genuinely appreciate your input and understand that our swim lessons did not meet your expectations. Sunsational Swim School teaches students of all ages and abilities. We're sad that your son didn't learn as much as you wanted in his lessons. Your concerns regarding your son's safety in the pool are of the utmost importance to us, and we want to address your feedback in a constructive manner.
It is important to note that we explicitly do not offer ISR (Infant Self Rescue) swimming lessons, as the teaching methods do not align with our teaching philosophy. We understand that for some families and in some situations, ISR is necessary, and that the method can be beneficial. We aim to foster a confident, positive attitude towards the water and swimming, rather than focusing on the "sink or swim" technique. We believe it’s the foundation of a lifelong, positive relationship with the water.
For children of your son's age, we consider several goals to be developmentally appropriate and attainable, including submerging their faces, holding their breath or blowing bubbles, and basic kicking and floating with assistance.
We recognize that each student progresses at their own pace and that instructors may not always be the perfect fit for every child's learning style. In your son’s case, we paired you with two swim instructors after you expressed you were unsatisfied with your first. In addition, after you confirmed the second instructor was a better fit, we added four more lessons to your package at no cost to you.
We strive to provide the best experience to our students and clients. Should you ever decide to give us another chance, we would be delighted to continue lessons with your son.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you in the future. - Tricia H.Central Escondido, Escondido, CA093Jul 19, 2023
Our instructor, Dale, was amazing! She managed 3 littles with no problem! She never shamed them or was discouraging, always positive and the children responded so well! I saw more progress in 2 weeks than I ever did with 1+ years at a local well known swim school. Every single thing she taught our kids was geared toward safety and not a moment was wasted. I absolutely can't say enough! We love Dale!
