Private Swim Lessons
in Dover , FL

Driving kids all over Dover for swim lessons can be aggravating: between struggling to get through traffic to get there on time and classes scheduled at the least convenient possible time, maybe you've asked yourself 'Is it worth it?'

The good news? There's a better, faster, less stressful way to help everyone in your family be more confident in the water: private swimming lessons with a Sunsational Swim instructor in Dover! When you choose us as your swim school, we bring personalized lessons to your club, community pool, or even your own backyard.

Everyone knows that kids learn better when they have one-on-one attention, so it's no surprise if you haven't been impressed by the results from your child's crowded group lessons at the public pool. And, if you are a reluctant adult that's finally brave enough to learn to swim, it's much less nerve-wracking to give it a try for the first time in the comfort and privacy of your Dover home—not next to a class of infants and toddlers who seem ready to compete in the Olympics!

From start to finish, we make learning to swim convenient, cost-effective, and confidence-building. To get started, enter your zip code and answer a few brief registration questions, and we'll match you with a top-notch swim teacher who will come to you: any time of day, anywhere in Dover. From early-morning sessions to prepare for a military swim test, to weekday afternoons after school to work on stroke technique for a swim team tryout, there's no schedule that our Sunsational instructors can't accommodate.

Does it sound too good to be true? It's not—and because we're so sure we'll deliver the results you want, you can take advantage of our Sunsational Learn-to-Swim Guarantee (for kids 3 and up), if your swimmer is still unable to turn around and reach the wall after our twelve-lesson package. Why not sign up for Dover swim lessons today and see the Sunsational difference for yourself?

Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Dover

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 Dover 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 Dover 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.

Which Pool? You Decide!

Our Sunsational instructors will work with you at your favorite pool in Dover, whether it's down the street or just outside your back door.

Susan has been awesome!! She is highly skilled and very accommodating to our fluctuating schedule with my daughter. She already has my daughter comfortable in the water and we are only halfway done. I will be highly recommending her to friends and family and look forward to continuing to work with her in the future!

Miss Debbie has been amazing! She is able to keep my daughter focused while also having tons of fun! We will all be sad on the last day of lessons. Thanks Miss Debbie!

My 9 year old was afraid of water and we couldn't get him to learn swimming with 2 other schools. He has been learning swimming from Jennifer and within 10 days, he has completely transformed and loves water/swimming now. We can't thank you enough for the same

I had a great experience with my swimming instructor, Adriane and Sunsational Swim School. Adriane was very patient, made me feel at ease and was dedicated to teaching me how to swim. I learned so much in a short period of time and I am much more comfortable in the water. I would highly recommend Sunsational and Adriane as an instructor. Thank you!

Amanda is an AWESOME instructor. I am 51 and athletic, but never learned to swim. I booked private lessons and Amanda has taught me how to swim in just a few lessons. She is positive, patient, and great at breaking down key concepts into baby steps that I could easily apply. If you are looking to learn to swim, go with Amanda. Don't live with fear of the water or embarrassment about not being able to swim...work to overcome it with Amanda.

Debbie is amazing! My autistic daughter was terrified of going in the water without flotation support. Within two lessons my daughter proudly ditched the floaties forever! Within six lessons my daughter is swimming across the deep end of the pool unassisted. Based on the progress my daughter has made with Debbie, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get their little one up to speed quickly.

Positive and Encouraging! An Absolute Success!

Sunsational Swim School is a brilliant company! I hired them, recently, so my girls could learn to swim, and was absolutely impressed and pleased with the experience. The swim coach who was working with us was wonderfully accommodating, and very flexible about weather-dependent rescheduling. She was incredibly positive, and she put a lot of effort into meeting my youngest (four years old) at her (nervous, intimidated) level, and encouraging her, in the water. I really cannot speak highly enough of their service, and would absolutely recommend them!

Unfortunately, I had a very bad experience with water (near drown) and since then, I didn't want to be near water. I was scared to even allow myself to be fully in water. But it was a fear that I really wanted to overcome. So I contacted Sunsational Swim and within a couple of days, they paired me up with Apple, a professional Olympic swimmer. I was very wary before my lesson, not sure what to expect, but Apple was wonderful! She was so understanding, had so much patience, and just wanted me to be comfortable in the water. She constantly encouraged as I dealt with my fear, always saying I was doing a good job, and giving me the confidence to do it. I have taken 4 lessons so far, and although I still don't know how to swim or how to be in water, I am feeling much more confident. I don't see the water anymore as an enemy, thanks to my wonderful instructor, Apple. Thank you so much Apple and Sunsational Swim for working with me on overcoming my fear!

Ms. Debbie has been fantastic with our boys. Our 3 year old now jumps in the deep end and swims across the pool. Their progress has been incredible to watch.

Olivia has been amazing! My daughter loves her and looks forward to her lessons. My daughter is confident when she goes into the water now and I feel confident in her ability to stay safe. An amazing instructor. Highly recommend!
