Swimming Lessons for Kids in New York City
Imagine School Of Swimming, New York:
Imagine Swimming, for children ages 12-months to 12-years, was founded in 2002 by former world-class swimmers Casey Barrett and Lars Merseburg.

IMAGINE STARFISH:
Starfish are children 15 months to 3 years old who are ready to be introduced to the water alongside a parent or caregiver. Classes are music-centric, with a focus on fun and confidence as both parent and teacher help each child to adapt to a new aquatic environment. The goal of our Starfish classes is to provide a secure environment that fosters each child's social, intellectual, physical, and emotional growth.
IMAGINE MINNOWS:
MInnows are children 3 years and older who are ready to learn the basics in water comfort. Your child should be ready to swim without the presence of a parent or caregiver in the water. Minnows will work on floating, underwater submersion, and basic water safet
y skills. A wide assortment of toys and floatation devices will be an integral part of the MInnows program.
IMAGINE SEAHORSES:
Seahorses are children 3 years and older who are ready to be introduced to basic stroke fundamentals. Your child will work on an introductory freestyle, as well as a backstroke. Classes will also include plenty of games - like 'Underwater Frisbee', retrieving rings from the pool's bottom, and balance drills on the surf board.
IMAGINE GOLDFISH:
Goldfish are children 5 years and older who have learned basic stroke skills and water safety. Your child will be introduced to the dolphin and the breaststroke kick, as well as side-breathing. Classes will continue to emphasize an array of games designed to foster complete comfort in the water.
IMAGINE MARLINS:
Marlins are children 7 years and older who are ready to learn every major stroke. Teachers will emphasize swimming each stroke slowly and correctly. Your child should feel totally at ease in the water as they begin to master the butterfly and the breaststro
ke.
IMAGINE DOLPHINS:
Dolphins are children 7 and older who are ready to perfect all competitive strokes. Teachers will emphasize body position and, for the first time, your child will be encouraged to swim with speed in addition to good technique.
