TEACHING SUCCESS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING

At Long Island Swim School children are taught their strokes correctly the first time.  The small group environment makes learning to swim safe, easy, and fun.

Our learning sequences are geared towards small logical progressions that allow the whole stroke to be developed.  Children learn the safety skills they need by learning to swim correctly.
We work on developing real strokes, as opposed to developing a false sense of security derived by under water swimming and dog paddling that ultimately may interfere with learning to swim.

​It is through this skill based quality instruction that Long Island Swim School students develop a joy for learning and a passion for swimming. 
​

SWIM ALL YEAR LONG

At Long Island Swim School we bring the lessons learned from teaching Olympic swimmers down to the novice level.  Nobody else does this.  Children who take lessons year round improve faster than those who swim just two or three sessions a year.  Why?  Muscle memory! 
 
Yes, learning to swim requires your child to learn specific skills, but more importantly they need to practice those skills.  When a movement is repeated over time motor learning occurs and long-term muscle memory is created for that skill. Eventually the skill becomes automatic and the child no longer needs to think about what they are doing… it just happens naturally! 

Don't take a break when your child’s muscles could be learning to swim!  Take lessons year round and with enough consistent practice your child will be swimming in no time!
