Guidelines for Tandem Freefall:
You must be at least 18 years old. We highly recommend making reservations for returning jumps. Try to arrive as prepared for returning jumps as you did for your first, wear appropriate clothing, no boots or shoes with hooks, bring your logbook, and don't forget to eat! Individuals weighing over 225lbs. must have doctor´s approval.
The Jump:
You will enter the aircraft with your instructor, and climb to an altitude of 13,500 feet. The freefall of the jump will be approximately 40 seconds. At appx 5000 feet, your instructor will deploy the main canopy, and you will get about a four minute ride under the canopy.
If you decide to get the jump with video and still pictures, a videographer dedicated to you will join you on your skydive. Some dropzones will only have the tandem instructor attach a camera to his hand to accomplish this. We feel that this compromises safety, as well as giving you a substandard video, and thats why you always get a dedicated, experienced, and talented videographer with your tandem skydive at Skydive Long Island!
Video:
We would definitely reccommend you get your first jump on video. There will only be this one first jump. You WANT a souvenir. You will never forget your first jump, none of us ever do, BUT Skydiving is such a high speed and intense experience, many people do not recall a lot of the details of their jump. In the years to come, you can share the experience with your friends and family.
After The Jump:
There will be an individual critique by your Tandem Master. Tandem Jump Certificate is presented with hearty Congratulations. Don't forget to visit manifest again to pick up a T shirt to remember the occasion!

Imagine School Of Swimming, New York
Courses / Programs
Imagine Swimming, for children ages 12-months to 12-years, was founded in 2002 by former world-class swimmers Casey Barrett and Lars Merseburg. Originally operated out of the Hunter College pool on 69th Street and Park Avenue, the school has grown to nine New York locations - extending from TriBeCa to the Upper East Side, Brooklyn Heights to Chelsea. Imagine is now the most popular swimming program in lower Manhattan, with the BMCC pool in TriBeCa its flagship facility. Currently, the school welcomes over 1200 students each week to its pools. Widely recognized in the swimming community as one of the world's top aquatic educations, Imagine has become a destination for international swimmers eager to pass along their skills as elite instructors. Like many of the city’s top preschools, Imagine has absorbed the teachings of Reggio Emilia, the Italian educational philosophy that places great respect on children’s imaginations and their interaction with the natural world. We feel this philosophy may be best expressed in the water – where every sense is engaged and the opportunities for exploration are endless.
