How it works
Three steps to the first splash.
1
Tell us about your swimmers
ZIP code, ages, comfort level and lesson length. About two minutes, no card.
2
Meet your instructor
An instructor who serves Algiers 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 your swimmer.
30 minutes to 2 hours
Choose 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes or 2 hours, plus Mommy & Me for a parent swimming with a little one. Packages of 6 and 12 lower the per-lesson rate.
Six months to adults
Babies get water comfort with a parent. Preschoolers learn to float, kick and breathe. Older kids build strokes, and teens work on technique and endurance.
A pool your family arranges
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.

Parent and baby
Mommy & Me lessons with a parent in the water: gentle holds, songs and splashing that make the pool feel familiar.
Baby and toddler lessons in AlgiersAges 3 to 6
Learn to swim
Floating, kicking, breath control and getting back to the wall. Short, playful lessons that build confidence first.
Ages 7 to 12
Stroke building
Freestyle and backstroke take shape, then breaststroke and treading water, with endurance built lap by lap.
Teens
Technique and endurance
Teens can sharpen strokes and build fitness in spring and summer before the LHSAA fall season begins around August.
Closer to home
Your building. Your pool. Your schedule.
Instructors on the Algiers roster travel to building pools, condo and HOA pools, and backyard pools across Orleans Parish and the towns around it. You and your instructor settle the spot, inside their travel radius.

How kids come up here
The places Algiers swimmers use, youngest first.
- 1Babies to preschool
First splashes with a parent
The youngest swimmers start in the water with a parent at a pool they already know, whether that is a home, condo or HOA pool around Algiers. Short, playful lessons help little ones get comfortable with floating, kicking and getting their faces wet while a grown-up stays right beside them.
- 2Grade school
Strokes through the long summer
Outdoor pools around New Orleans run from late May to early September, and Federal City Pool in Algiers is one of them. Grade schoolers use those warm months to build freestyle and backstroke, practice breathing and gain comfort, then keep going at a private pool their family arranges.
- 3Teens
Stroke and fitness work
Teens in Algiers often want cleaner strokes, better turns and more endurance. Private lessons at a home or neighborhood pool can focus on technique and steady fitness sets, which helps young swimmers who are thinking about a high school team or simply want to swim stronger.
- 4High school
Fall racing in Louisiana
High school swimming in Louisiana runs under the LHSAA in the fall, from about August to early November, with the state meet in late November. Area schools race in the GNOHSSL metro league, including Morris Jeff in New Orleans and Thomas Jefferson in nearby Gretna.
Where private lessons fit
How families in and around Algiers use an independent instructor.
When families book
Heated and indoor home or building pools keep lessons going much of the year, and Algiers families book most often from April through July, ahead of and during summer. The instructor comes to the pool you arrange.

Water to know about
Lake Pontchartrain borders the north side of New Orleans and Jefferson Parish. Lessons build skills and comfort, but they do not make anyone safe around water, so an adult watches every swimmer.

Brooke is an awesome instructor. She is very patient. My son has always been afraid of the deep end, but after 2 weeks of working with Brooke the fear is now a thing of the past. He's doing great and gained so much confidence.

12Questions parents ask
Good questions. Straight answers.
Pricing and billing details are on the pricing page.
Talk to the InstaSwim teamCan I pick my instructor?
InstaSwim matches you with an independent instructor based on your location and each swimmer's age and comfort level. You see the instructor's profile before you pay, and you can request a new instructor up to 2 times per package.
Do we need our own pool in Algiers?
Lessons happen at a pool your family arranges: your building's pool, a condo or HOA pool, or a backyard pool. InstaSwim does not own or provide pools. Any pool fees are paid to the pool, not to InstaSwim.
Can a private swim instructor come to our home or building pool in Algiers?
Yes, when the pool allows it. For a building, condo or HOA pool, check the pool rules for guests and instructors first, then set the day and time with your instructor. InstaSwim does not arrange pool access.
Do you offer baby and toddler swim lessons in Algiers?
Yes. Mommy & Me lessons put a parent in the water with babies and toddlers from 6 months, and lessons for ages 3 to 6 work on floating, kicking and breath control. Tell us each child's age when you register so the match accounts for it.
When do I pay?
Registering is free. Once your instructor is confirmed and you agree on a start date, your invoice arrives by email. Packages of 2 or more lessons can be paid in weekly installments.
What does it cost in Algiers?
Rates are per lesson and set for your ZIP code. Packages of 6 and 12 lessons lower the per-lesson rate. There is a $20 registration fee per swimmer, refunded only if no lessons take place.
What if the instructor is not the right fit?
Ask for a new instructor from your Match Hub. You can do this up to 2 times per package, and InstaSwim finds the next instructor for you.
Who are the instructors in Algiers?
Independent contractors on the InstaSwim roster, not InstaSwim employees. Every instructor you can be matched with has been background checked, keeps a CPR and First Aid card on file, has finished safety and conduct training, and has signed the contractor agreement. Experience is provided by the instructor, and families review the matched instructor before booking.
Which towns near Algiers do your instructors serve?
Instructors on the Algiers roster also travel to Arabi, Terrytown, Gretna, Garden District, New Orleans and Touro, within their own travel radius. Type your ZIP above to see the rates for your town.
When are the public pools in Algiers open?
NORD runs the city's public pools. Its outdoor summer pools, including Federal City Pool in Algiers, open in late May or early June and run through Labor Day. Rainey Natatorium in Algiers is one of NORD's indoor pools, which stay open all year. These pools are for public swimming, and private lessons happen at a pool your family arranges.
What fence or gate rules apply to a home pool in Algiers?
For fences and gates at a home, condo or HOA pool, check with your parish or city building office, which sets those rules locally. The Louisiana Department of Health sets rules for public pools in the state sanitary code, covering things like depth markers and lifesaving equipment.
Will lessons make my child water safe?
No lesson makes anyone safe around water. Lessons build skills, comfort and good habits. An adult should watch every swimmer, every time, at the pool and near open water.
