I only have positive feedback to deliver about our swim instructor, Emily! She has been so kind, patient, and flexible with our child, who has sensory issues that affect his confidence to swim. Emily has also been great at communicating with us between lessons reguarding schedule changes, weather issues, etc. She is a confident, positive person & just great with our kid. He didn't want to go swimming at all at first, and now he gets right in to the water with her! We feel so lucky that she's our instructor! This company stayed in close contact with us while they found the right person to match our request.

Clare Siverts has been a God sent for Trueno. Trueno has autism and loves the water but didn’t know how to swim, float, jump in water and was sorely afraid of the deep. “Coach Clare” changed all that. He can swim, float, go under water, and is confident in the deep. He no longer is afraid but very confident. Coach Clare was loving and firm. She made him laugh and opened his spirit. We are so grateful because we know Trueno will be able to enjoy the pool without any reservations. He is safe in the water and we are now assured he will swim with joy and safety. We cannot thank Clare enough for her expert training and care. Trueno and we love Coach Claire forever. Writing this review reminds me of Clare’s and Trueno’s greatness!

Claudia K I cannot say enough good things about Claudia. She is dedicated to working with the kids, and is a passionate swimmer herself. She worked around our schedule, was prompt and has such an easy going attitude. The kids love working with her and I couldn't be more grateful to have found her. I see a great deal of improvement with my eight year old and four year old. This is our third summer of hiring private swimming teacher and Claudia is simply amazing. I highly recommend her!

We purchased a package of lessons to help our 4 year old daughter learn to swim. After some initial scheduling difficulties, we were booked with Sara. In short, Sara has been incredible. She is friendly, enthusiastic, fun, incredibly patient, flexible, punctual, responsible, and genuinely enjoys teaching swimming. She has worked very hard to develop our daughter's trust and teach her that swimming can be a lot of fun if you know how to be safe. On top of that, she is a seasoned lifeguard who clearly has extensive experience in and around the water. We couldn't be more pleased with Sara and Sunsational Swim School. At the end of 12 lessons, our daughter is able to do the guaranteed basic skills. We will be purchasing more lessons so that Sara can help our daughter move beyond the basics.

I didn't even realize it was a national chain - the service was responsive and localized. My phone call was immediately answered, allowing me to register my son for lessons by phone. I was sent all additional registration materials by e-mail and had my son set up for his first lesson by the next day. Super easy, super convenient. and quot;Mr. Mattand quot; was prompt, professional, and engaging. My son who is normally reserved immediately connected and has quickly advanced through basic introductory swim skills with Mr. Matt's patient guidance. I would recommend their services to all of my friends and family located in their service area.

Hi, Thank you for the kind works. I'm happy to hear that not only was your instructor a good fit but that the customer service staff was prompt and accommodating when you registered over the phone. We serve about 22 metro areas nationwide at this time but work to book each student with an instructor locally who will come to your home pool. I'm thrilled to hear that your booking process was quick and your son was swimming with Matt in no time! Thank you, Sunsational Team

Living in South Florida and surrounded by water I wanted my 6 year old son to really acquire and improve his swimming skills. I contacted Sunsational after learning they have tutors all over the country. Sunsational suggested Ryan Snow as a swimming instructor for my son, so I went ahead and purchased the appropriate package. Ryan followed up within a day or two and by this time we were already ready for him as Sunsational publishes instructors' profiles on their website and we could make a preliminary match. After a straightforward conversation Ryan and I decided on where the lessons would take place, which days and which hours. Ryan was very nice and flexible so we set up a schedule and next day we were in business. Ryan surprised me as a highly professional person. Always on time and always in a good mood to teach my son. He has the necessary patience and experience to handle very young children who more often than not lack coordination of movements, have undeveloped skills and require someone who will slowly show them the way. I can't stress enough how important is for an instructor to never get upset or nervous. And Ryan never does! My son really likes Ryan (we still have a few more lessons to go) and he checks my calendar every day eagerly waiting for those days that are marked and quot;Ryanand quot;. But perhaps the most important attribute I can credit Ryan for is that he has been able to teach my son the needed survival skills while in water and that my son is already getting a handle of several different strokes. In addition of being a great instructor, Ryan is an easy-going person that will look for a middle ground solution to any issue that may arise. As such, he had no problem in adding one day to the lesson count after we forgot to show up one day. Thank you for helping my son, Ryan! Thank you, Sunsational.

Thank you so much for the great review. Ryan seems like he was a perfect match for you and your son. It is also great to hear that our customer service staff was accommodating and fulfilled your expectations. I'm thrilled to hear that , most importantly, your son is more comfortable and confident in the water. This is so important when you live by water or have a pool. Thank you once again!

Overall it went well and it was very convenient having her teach the kids in our pool at home. We were assigned - Tewahado as the instructor. She was a always on time and very friendly.Both the kids liked her. I saw a big improvement in my 6 year old because of the one-on-one attention. We still need to have more lessons for my my 2 year old, but then again - she is very young so I just wanted her to start getting comfortable in the water and that objective was achieved..

Hi, That is great that the swimming lessons for your two children were a success! Swimming is progressive so improvement can always be made, even for advances swimmers. Next season when your 2 year old is 3 she will be eligible for the "12 Lesson Learn to Swim Guarantee". Thank you for the great review and we look forward to seeing your children advance in the future!

After the lessons, my son was still not swimming. They offered eight more sessions for free. I told them that was not necessary, but they insisted. The instructor has been amazing. They came to our home for the lessons. My son was terrified of the water and now he swims well. They really stand behind their word. I would definitely recommend their service.

Hi Jessica, Thank you for the review. Our "12 Lesson Learn to Swim Guarantee" is just that, a guarantee. We know that children learn in all different environments, through different teaching styles and at their own pace. I'm so happy to hear that your son is now swimming even if it was not accomplished in the first 12 lessons. We look forward to working with you in the future to expand his ability and refresh what he has learned in past years. Thank you for the kind words!

We were very satisfied with the excellent services provided by instructor Bettina. She was everything you could ask for in a child's coach. Prompt, personable, knowledgeable,gracious and friendly. Nate loved her and his confidence and abilities were greatly improved by the end of the second week. He does not live in austin, or we would continue with her services. Thank you Bettina!

Hi [member name removed], Thank you for the review. We hope to work with your grandson next time he is down in Austin to visit. Water safety and swimming lessons are so important, especially when a child is going to be around a pool they are unfamiliar with. Thank you working with Bettina and expanding your grandson's knowledge and ability in the water. I'm so happy your experience with us was positive and productive. Thank you, Sunsational Team
