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.
You bring the swimmers. InstaSwim finds the instructor.
Matched on location, ages and comfort level. See the profile, then decide.
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 South Hempstead 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 South Hempstead swimmers use, youngest first.
- 1Babies to preschool
First splashes with a parent
The youngest swimmers start with a parent in the water, getting used to floating, kicking and blowing bubbles. An instructor can meet you at a home, condo or HOA pool you arrange near South Hempstead, keeping early sessions short, playful and calm.
- 2Grade school
Learning strokes before summer
Grade schoolers work on breath control, floating and freestyle basics. Many families near Rockville Centre, Hempstead and Freeport want these skills in place before long summer days at the pool, so private lessons at a pool you arrange help kids build comfort at their own pace.
- 3Teens
Building endurance and technique
Teens often want stronger strokes, smoother flip turns and more stamina, whether they are aiming for a team or simply want to swim with confidence. One on one sessions let an instructor focus on the exact strokes a teen wants to sharpen.
- 4High school
Section VIII swim seasons
Nassau County high schools compete in Section VIII of NYSPHSAA. Girls swim in the fall, starting practice in late August, while boys swim in winter with a county championship in early February. County championships are held at the Nassau County Aquatic Center in East Meadow.

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 South Hempstead?
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 South Hempstead?
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 South Hempstead?
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 South Hempstead?
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 South Hempstead?
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 South Hempstead do your instructors serve?
Instructors on the South Hempstead roster also travel to Hempstead, Uniondale, Rockville Centre, Freeport, Garden City and Oceanside, within their own travel radius. Type your ZIP above to see the rates for your town.
When is the high school swim season for South Hempstead students?
Nassau County schools are in Section VIII of NYSPHSAA. Girls swimming is a fall sport, with first practice in late August and county meets in late October. Boys swimming is a winter sport, with the county championship in early February. The boys state championships are held in March at Ithaca College.
What does New York require around a home pool in South Hempstead?
New York requires home pools and spas that can hold more than 24 inches of water to have a barrier at least 4 feet high, with self-closing, self-latching gates and openings too small for a 4-inch sphere. New pools need a temporary barrier during installation, and an adult should watch every swimmer during lessons.
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.
