Sunsational Swim School was founded in 2009 by Sarah Sebe, who is a mom of four. The stated mission is to make learning to swim convenient, fast, and fun, especially because drowning is described as the number one leading cause of death for children under five. Sunsational Swim School is described as America’s largest mobile swim school and America’s largest private swim lesson marketplace, serving over 40 major metropolitan areas nationwide, with over 2,000–3,000 vetted instructors and over 100,000–200,000 swimmers since 2009. Sunsational instructors are described as vetted, background-checked, insured, CPR certified, experienced aquatics professionals who have passed an extensive interview process including criminal background checks and Family Watchdog screening. The program offers a Learn-to-Swim Guarantee for beginner swimmers ages 3 and older who meet program requirements, which includes guidelines of at least 3 lessons per week in a pool heated to 82°F or warmer, and states that these swimmers will swim to the side of the pool in 12 lessons or receive additional lessons for free, subject to program conditions. For the Learn-to-Swim Guarantee, lessons must be completed in a pool heated to 82°F or warmer.

Sunsational Swim School offers adaptive swim lessons for swimmers with autism, sensory challenges, ADHD, and physical disabilities.
