Private Swim Lessons
in Placentia , CA

Driving kids all over Placentia 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 Placentia! 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 Placentia 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 Placentia. 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 Placentia swim lessons today and see the Sunsational difference for yourself?

Benefits of Private Swimming Lessons in Placentia

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 Placentia 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 Placentia 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 Placentia, whether it's down the street or just outside your back door.

Sunsational Clients Love Our Swimming Lessons

Rated 4.9/5 Stars From Over 900+ Reviews
Excellent instructors! We were very lucky to have been paired with Neil. My 3 yr granddaughter started the lesson very afraid of water on her face. But by the end of her swimming lessons with Neil, we could not get her off the pool! Neil was the perfect instructor for her. Very Patient and, at the same time, very focused on teaching proper technique while making it fun for my granddaughter. He was always on time and flexible with our schedule. My granddaughter ended up feeling very confident in the water now and enjoy the pool so much more! She can swim underwater!!! Thanks Neil!!

My son age 9 took 12 private swimming lessons from another swimming school last year, he still didn't feel confident to put his face in the water. This summer I sign him up for sunsational swimming school, coach Neil Rosen teach him to do it on the second lesson. Coach Neil is very good with children, I have referred him some of my friends. Highly recommend!

My 6-year-old daughter started lessons with Doreen 3 weeks ago and we could not be happier with the results! Before she started, our daughter wouldn't submerge her head or swim in the deep end, let alone swim all 4 actual strokes. As of her 12th lesson (3 weeks later) she is jumping in, diving to the bottom of the pool, and has informally learned all 4 strokes!! Doreen has been amazing and our daughter looked forward to having her lesson every day! Best experience ever and money well spent! I highly recommend Doreen and Sunsational Swim School!

We signed out 6 years old up for lessons 3 weeks ago. We've had 4 lessons per week with Miss Doreen and couldn't be happier! Our daughter started lessons scared to dunk her head underwater and not wanting to swim in the deep end. Today, she's diving to the bottom of the pool all on her own and swimming in the deep end.

We started lessons back up this year 2020 and Sunsational swim school has paired us up with another great instructor. Lessons are going great! Alex A is a fantastic teacher and my son really loves working with her. She is always on time and has a great attitude. She finds ways to keep it fun for him so he stays engaged. She is fantastic. My son is only 3 1/2 and he swims pretty great for his age and I feel safe having him in the water. 2019 We have had lessons with Jennifer Le now for the past few months twiceand she is fantastic. My 2 1/2-year-old has had lessons before but he has excelled so much just in the past month with her. He was very difficult to work with in the beginning with crying and not wanting to swim but she was able to get him to swim and have fun. She was very open in switching days if that needed to be done and getting make up classes set up. Having swim lessons at my home is such an amazing convenience.

Before we moved to our pool home, my kids were afraid to swim and insisted that they "don't need to know how to swim." Obviously that would not fly. I put my kids in a public lesson last summer and they didn't learn anything, so I looked for private lessons and found this company on yelp. I chose the 12 class guarantee to swim even though the guarantee is if you fall in, you will be able to turn around and grab the wall (not technically swimming) BUT at lesson 8 of 13 (promo code bonus) now my kids (7& 9) are going underwater, jumping in the deep end, swimming around, and learning different strokes. After paying, I complained to my mom how expensive it was and she said it will be the best investment I ever make and she was right! I can only imagine from this point on they will start to become better, stronger swimmers. Our swim instructor is Alexandra and I would definitely recommend her to anyone that is willing to also push their kids to do their best.

Miss Alex is phenomenal with kids! We are so glad to have chosen Sunsational for our lessons. Well worth every penny for private lessons, they have so much fun they don't realize how much they are learning. Her patience is unbelievable with our sometimes squirrelly little chatty one! We were matched up perfectly.
