At SwimJim, we believe that water safety and confidence should start early. That’s why our signature infant swim classes are a cornerstone of our program here on the Upper East Side. Our experienced, CPR-certified instructors use gentle, proven techniques to introduce babies and toddlers to the water in a safe and nurturing setting. These lessons help our youngest swimmers develop comfort, foundational skills, and a true love for swimming—while giving parents peace of mind.
But our commitment doesn’t stop at infants. Whether you’re looking for beginner swim lessons for your child, advanced stroke refinement, or adult classes, our curriculum is designed to support every stage of the swimming journey. We offer over 40 years of experience and certifications from the United States Swim School Association (USSSA).
