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.

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.

The Uniondale swim year
When pools open, and when families bookHow kids come up here
The places Uniondale swimmers use, youngest first.
- 1Babies to preschool
First splashes with a parent close
The earliest lessons are about comfort. A parent stays in or beside the water while an instructor works on floating, blowing bubbles and calm entries at the family's own pool. Short, playful sessions in a familiar backyard or building pool help little ones settle in before summer gets busy.
- 2Grade school
Strokes, breathing and summer pool days
Grade schoolers move from paddling to real strokes, side breathing and treading water. Over the city line, NYC Parks runs Learn to Swim classes in Queens, with summer lottery spots for ages 18 months to 17. Private lessons at a home or HOA pool let Uniondale kids practice at their own pace.
- 3Teens
Building endurance for team swimming
Teens who want a swim team or simply stronger laps work on flip turns, pacing and stroke efficiency. Short private sessions over the summer can sharpen technique before fall and winter tryouts at Nassau County high schools, with an instructor coming to the pool the family arranges.
- 4High school
Section VIII fall and winter seasons
Nassau County high schools swim in Section VIII of NYSPHSAA. Girls swim in the fall, starting practice in late August with county meets in late October. Boys swim in winter, with the county championship in early February at the Nassau County Aquatic Center in East Meadow and state championships in March.

Ricky has been amazing! He is so patient and he's helped my daughter be more comfortable in the water. She's making such great progress working with him!
Danielle was patient and well structured with the lessons. For our first lesson, the whole family felt good, comfortable, and confident that we can fully learn swimming soon.
Danielle was so sweet and patient. Both kids loved her right away. She was on time. I'm very impressed.

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 Uniondale?
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 Uniondale?
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 Uniondale?
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 Uniondale?
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 Uniondale?
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.

When is high school swim season for Uniondale area schools?
Nassau County high schools compete 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 at the Nassau County Aquatic Center in East Meadow, followed by state championships in March.
What does New York require around a home pool in Uniondale?
New York requires home pools and spas that hold more than 24 inches of water to have a barrier at least 4 feet high, with self-closing, self-latching gates, openings too small for a 4-inch sphere and no more than 2 inches of gap at the ground. An above-ground pool wall counts only if it meets the same rules.
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.
