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 Whitestone 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 Whitestone swimmers use, youngest first.
- 1Babies to preschool
First splashes with a parent
NYC Parks offers indoor Learn to Swim classes for tots in fall, winter and spring, free with a recreation center membership, and parents of tots need a membership too. Summer classes at outdoor pools start at 18 months. A private instructor can also meet a parent and little one at their own building or condo pool.
- 2Grade school
Summer lottery classes and rec pools
Free summer Learn to Swim classes at NYC Parks outdoor pools are filled by online lottery and run from early July through late August, with Fisher Pool in nearby East Elmhurst among the sites. A Holiday Learn to Swim program for ages 6 to 17 runs during school breaks.
- 3Teens
Building strokes and endurance
Teens up to 17 can still join the free summer classes and the holiday program through NYC Parks. Many Whitestone teens use private lessons to clean up freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and turns, or to build the endurance they want before trying out for a high school team.
- 4High school
PSAL swimming across Queens
New York City public high schools, including Bayside High School and Francis Lewis High School, swim in the Public School Athletic League, which holds A and B Division championships. Catholic high schools compete separately, and the Nassau County schools serving nearby Great Neck swim in Section VIII.
Where private lessons fit
How families in and around Whitestone use an independent instructor.
When families book
Your instructor comes to the pool you arrange, whether that is a home, building, condo or HOA pool. Whitestone families book most often from May through August, so reaching out in spring helps you get the summer times you want.
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.

Water to know about
Nearby Bayside sits on Little Neck Bay, off Long Island Sound, and the city's public beaches, including Rockaway Beach and Orchard Beach, open in late May. Lessons build skills and comfort but do not make anyone safe around water, so an adult watches every swimmer.

He was FANTASTIC! Honestly, worth the money and than some. You can tell he loves what he does and he’s good at it. He really cares about the people he trains and he has so much experience training adults in particular who have been through traumatic water incidents.

157Questions parents ask
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 Whitestone?
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 Whitestone?
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 Whitestone?
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 Whitestone?
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 Whitestone?
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 Whitestone do your instructors serve?
Instructors on the Whitestone roster also travel to Flushing, Bayside, East Elmhurst, Corona, Great Neck and Jamaica Estates, within their own travel radius. Type your ZIP above to see the rates for your town.
When are the free outdoor pools near Whitestone open?
NYC Parks outdoor pools are free and need no membership. They typically open in late June and stay open daily into mid-September, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. with a cleaning break in the afternoon. Fisher Pool in East Elmhurst is one of the closest to Whitestone, with a wading pool and an intermediate pool.
Can Whitestone kids swim indoors during the winter?
Yes. The city's public indoor pools stay open year-round unless work is underway, including Flushing Meadows Corona Park Pool and Rink, an Olympic-size pool. They require an NYC Parks recreation center membership, which covers all 12 of the city's indoor pools. Families with a heated building or condo pool can also keep private lessons going all year.
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.
