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.

The places Middletown swimmers use, youngest first.
- 1Babies to preschool
First splashes with a parent
The earliest lessons are about comfort. A parent stays in the water while little ones practice blowing bubbles, floating with support and getting used to splashes. A private instructor can keep the pace gentle at a home or community pool you arrange, a few miles from Red Bank, Lincroft or Holmdel.
- 2Grade school
Learn to swim and summer pools
Grade schoolers build real strokes. The YMCA of the Jersey Shore runs youth swim lessons at its nearby Red Bank Family YMCA, with continuous enrollment through the school year and a summer session. Private lessons at your own pool can add one on one time for kicking, breathing and front crawl.
- 3Teens
Summer league and stroke work
Middletown teens who like to race can look at the New Jersey Swimming & Diving Conference, a summer league with more than 30 teams across Monmouth, Middlesex, Somerset and Union counties, running dual meets and championships. Private sessions help with turns, starts and cleaner strokes before tryouts.
- 4High school
Winter swimming in the Shore Conference
Middletown High School North and Middletown High School South compete in the Shore Conference. New Jersey high school swimming is a winter sport, with practice starting in November, tournament rounds in February and the regular season wrapping up in early March.

Liz did a great job teaching our 14 month old how to feel safe, confident and happy in a backyard pool. She is a very kind-hearted, competent, knowledgeable instructor who clicked immediately with the baby and taught her survival skills while making pool time fun. Highly recommend her.
Maureen was great with my son who was nervous going into the lesson. She was very patient, made him feel confident, and he had a great time!
Maureen was great! She came ready to teach with some water toys that my son loved and made the whole experience a fun game for him. Alex can’t wait for his next lesson!
