Experience and teaching history are provided by the instructor. Instructors are independent contractors, 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 InstaSwim's safety and conduct training, and has signed the contractor agreement. These are eligibility steps, not an endorsement. Review your matched instructor's profile before your first lesson.

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 Lakeview 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.

Every age. Every level.

Swim lessons in Lakeview, from first splash to strong strokes.

Tell InstaSwim each swimmer's age, comfort level and goals at registration, and the match accounts for all three.

6 months to adults
6 months to 3

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 Lakeview
Ages 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 ahead of the fall LHSAA season, which runs from about August to early November.

Closer to home

Your building. Your pool. Your schedule.

Instructors on the Lakeview 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.

Where Lakeview kids learn to swim, and when

The local season, the places swimmers use, and how private lessons fit around them.

Lakeview sits within New Orleans, a few miles from the middle of the city, in a city whose north side meets Lake Pontchartrain, so comfortable swimming matters early for local kids.

How kids come up here

The places Lakeview swimmers use, youngest first.

  1. 1
    Babies to preschool

    First splashes with a parent

    The youngest Lakeview swimmers start in a pool they already know, at home or in a building or neighborhood pool the family arranges. A parent stays in the water while an independent instructor guides gentle floating, kicking and getting the face wet, at a pace that keeps little ones relaxed.

  2. 2
    Grade school

    Strokes through the long summer

    Grade schoolers build freestyle, backstroke and breath control while New Orleans outdoor pools, such as Stallings Gentilly Pool, run from late May to early September. Private lessons at the family's own pool let kids practice steady laps and settle into deeper water before school starts again in August.

  3. 3
    Teens

    Stroke and fitness work

    Teens in Lakeview often want cleaner technique and more endurance. An instructor can refine turns, breathing patterns and pacing in a home or community pool the family arranges, with sets that build fitness for a school team tryout or simply for stronger, more confident swimming.

  4. 4
    High school

    The fall high school season

    Louisiana high school swimming 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, and Morris Jeff in New Orleans is among the schools with a team.

Where private lessons fit

How families in and around Lakeview use an independent instructor.

When families book

Heated and indoor pools keep lessons going much of the year here, and the instructor comes to the pool your family arranges. Lakeview families book most often from April through July, ahead of and during the summer.

Pools families use

Your building's pool, a condo or HOA pool, or a backyard pool: you and your instructor settle it, inside their travel radius.

Building poolCondo or HOA poolBackyard pool

Water to know about

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

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.

Talk to the InstaSwim team
Can 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 Lakeview?

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 Lakeview?

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 Lakeview?

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 Lakeview?

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 Lakeview?

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 Lakeview do your instructors serve?

Instructors on the Lakeview roster also travel to New Orleans, Metairie, Gentilly, Touro, Garden District and Algiers, within their own travel radius. Type your ZIP above to see the rates for your town.

When is outdoor pool season in Lakeview and New Orleans?

The city's outdoor summer pools, run by NORD, open in late May or early June and stay open through Labor Day. Indoor NORD pools stay open all year. For private lessons, families arrange their own home, building or neighborhood pool, and the instructor comes there.

What rules apply to a home or HOA pool in Lakeview?

The Louisiana Department of Health sets rules for public pools in the state sanitary code. For fences and gates at a home, condo or HOA pool, Lakeview families should check with the city building office in New Orleans, which sets those rules locally.

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.
