You are in good company
Plenty of adults start right here.
Lessons are one-on-one at a private pool: no class, no audience, and the pace is yours.
Never learned
Lots of adults never had the chance as kids. You start with breathing, floating and standing up, in water where you can stand.
Nervous in deep water
Start in the shallow end and go deeper only when you are ready. Tell your instructor what worries you, and the lesson works around it.
Swim with my kids
Join them at the pool or the beach, and learn the same strokes they are learning.
How it works
Less driving. More swimming.
1
Tell us about your goals
ZIP code, your comfort level, goals and lesson length. About two minutes, no card.
2
Meet your instructor
An instructor who serves Greenwich Village accepts, and you get their profile. Not the right fit? Request a new instructor, up to 2 times per package.
3
Confirm and swim
Pick a start date, pay your invoice, and meet at your pool. Weekly payment plans are available on packages.
What a lesson looks like
Built around the swimmer, run by the instructor.
Lesson lengths
30 minutes to 2 hours
Choose 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes or 2 hours. Packages of 6 and 12 lower the per-lesson rate.
Ages and levels
First floats to stronger strokes
Adults who never learned start with breathing and floating. Adults who already swim work on stroke technique, endurance and lap swimming.
The pool
A pool you arrange
Your building's pool, a condo or HOA pool, or a backyard pool. InstaSwim does not provide pools, and any pool fees go to the pool, not InstaSwim.
No pool yet? You can still book.
Not every family has a pool at home, and that is fine. When the booking app asks about a pool, choose No or Not sure yet, then pick a plan. InstaSwim does not own pools, and any pool fees are paid to the pool, not to InstaSwim.

Adult swim lessons in Greenwich Village, from first floats to open water.

Starting out
First floats
For adults who never learned or feel uneasy in the water: breathing, floating and standing up with confidence.

Your first laps
Freestyle and backstroke basics, breathing to the side, and swimming a full length without stopping.
Improving
Stroke technique
For adults who already swim and want smoother, more efficient strokes and easier breathing.
Training
Fitness and open water
Endurance sets, turns and open water skills for lap swimmers and triathletes.
Your first lesson
What a first lesson is usually like.
Every instructor runs their own lessons. This is how a first lesson usually goes for an adult starting out.
- 1Before
What to bring
A swimsuit, goggles and a towel. Goggles help most adults relax with their face in the water.
- 2First few minutes
Talk it through
Tell your instructor what you want from lessons and anything that worries you. There is no test and no wrong answer.
- 3In the water
At your pace
Breathing, floating and moving through the water where you can stand. You go deeper only when you are ready.

Leave with a plan
You finish knowing what you worked on and what comes next, so each lesson builds on the last.
Closer to home

- 4Private pool
Your building pool, your instructor
If your building, condo or HOA has a pool, an independent instructor can meet you there. Adults here use these sessions to start from the beginning, get comfortable putting their face in the water, or clean up a stroke at their own pace.
Where private lessons fit
How adults in and around Greenwich Village use an independent instructor.
When adults book
Your instructor comes to the pool you arrange, whether it sits in your building or a friend's. Adults around Greenwich Village book most often from May through August, so reaching out in spring gives you more choice of times.

Roxanne was absolutely incredible. So kind, so knowledgeable, so patient, so encouraging, with amazing bite sized feedback. I was so nervous for my first lesson and she taught me so much and boosted my confidence a ton. I can’t wait for our next session. Thank you so much, Roxanne! 10 out of 10!

Shadi is a great instructor. There are not many swim coaches that are experienced in teaching an adult beginner like me. Shadi is patient, very knowledgeable and constructive with his approach. He has a pleasant, polite and supportive attitude. I highly recommend him.

Sierra helped each of the grands make real progress. All of them are much more comfortable in the pool now. Her approach is calm and encouraging but firm. This helped them to overcome some fear and shyness. I would not hesitate to call on her again.

Is it too late to learn as an adult?
No. Instructors teach adults from first floats to lap swimming, one on one and at your pace, at a pool you choose.
I am nervous in deep water. Can lessons start in the shallow end?
Yes. Tell InstaSwim about your comfort level when you register. Lessons for nervous adults usually start with breathing and floating where you can stand, and move deeper only when you are ready.
