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 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 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.

How kids come up here
The places Greenwich Village swimmers use, youngest first.
- 1Babies to preschool
First splashes with a parent
Little ones start with a parent close by, getting used to water on their face, kicking and floating with support. NYC Parks Learn to Swim indoor classes include tots, and parents of tots join as members too. A private instructor can also meet a family at the pool their building or condo offers.
- 2Grade school
Learn to swim and summer pools
Grade schoolers build strokes, breathing and confidence. NYC Parks offers free summer Learn to Swim classes at outdoor pools for ages 18 months to 17, filled by online lottery, plus a Holiday Learn to Swim program during school breaks for ages 6 to 17. Private lessons add steady one on one practice.
- 3Teens
Stronger strokes for older swimmers
Teens often want to swim faster, swim longer or get ready for a team. Free summer and holiday Learn to Swim classes run through age 17. Private lessons at a family's pool let a teen focus on technique, turns and endurance at their own pace.
- 4High school
PSAL high school swimming
New York City public high schools swim in the Public School Athletic League, which holds A and B Division championships. Catholic high schools compete separately. Swimmers heading toward a high school team often use private lessons to sharpen strokes and build fitness before tryouts.

Water to know about
New York City's public beaches, including Rockaway Beach in Queens and Orchard Beach in the Bronx, open each spring. Lessons build skills and comfort but do not make anyone safe around water, so an adult watches every swimmer.

★★★★★
She was easy to communicate with about scheduling and was punctual for the lesson. She was warm and made my three-year-old feel comfortable in the water. Her experience was clear in the way she taught and encouraged my child. I was especially impressed by how many new swimming skills she got my child to try in just one lesson.

Brenda is absolutely amazing! She is calm, patient, understanding, and truly takes the time to understand her clients’ needs and tailor her teaching to them. I’m 29 years old and had never swum before, so I was quite nervous about learning. Brenda taught me with so much patience and encouragement that, after just two days of working with her, I can now float, do the flutter kick, and—most importantly—feel confident in the water. She is an incredible instructor who makes learning to swim feel comfortable, safe, and achievable. I’m so grateful for her guidance and highly recommend Brenda to anyone looking to learn or improve their swimming skills!

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 Greenwich Village?
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 Greenwich Village?
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 Greenwich Village?
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 Greenwich Village?
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 Greenwich Village?
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 Greenwich Village do your instructors serve?
Instructors on the Greenwich Village roster also travel to Lower East Side, New York, Hoboken, East Side, Jersey City and West Side, within their own travel radius. Type your ZIP above to see the rates for your town.
Are the NYC Parks outdoor pools near Greenwich Village free?
Yes. NYC Parks outdoor pools are free and need no membership. They open in late June and stay open daily into mid September, with a midday cleaning break. They are public pools, so InstaSwim lessons take place at a pool your family arranges, such as a building, condo or home pool.
How do Greenwich Village kids get into free NYC Parks summer swim classes?
NYC Parks summer Learn to Swim classes at outdoor pools are free for ages 18 months to 17 and are filled by an online lottery. They run in July and August. Indoor classes in fall, winter and spring are free with a recreation center membership, which covers all 12 city indoor pools.
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.
