Private Swim Lessons
The JCC is proud of our long-standing reputation in New York City for outstanding swim instruction for children and adults of all ages starting as young as 6 months old. Private lessons are offered in both the Main Pool and Training Pool throughout the year.
About the JCC Swim School:
Our swim school welcomes swimmers of all abilities with the goal of creating water-safe, capable, and confident swimmers taught by our top-notch team of nurturing, creative and experienced instructors. From parent + child classes starting at 6 months old to drop-off classes for children 2.5-14 years old as well as private lessons for swimmers of all ages, the JCC Swim School can meet every need.
We provide our families with a warm, personalized experience and empower our swimmers to become brave and strong in the water as well enabling a lifelong love of aquatics! We are proud that our Aquatics leadership have been specially trained to integrate a social/emotional lens on children’s instruction, which aims to teach fundamental skills in a safe and joyful environment, using swim to build physical and emotional strength and self-esteem both in and out of the pool!

About Private Swim:
Choosing private swim lessons for yourself or your child enables the most customized approach to developing water confidence and skills on a schedule that works best for your family. Private lessons can also help the most tentative swimmers or those who benefit from more one-on-one attention make substantial progress in swim development. More experienced swimmers can benefit from the individualization that private instruction provides to advance stroke proficiency, prepare for a personal goal like a race or meet, or simply enjoy being coached by a top aquatics professional to refine swimming goals. Private swim lessons can be purchased in packs of 10 and 20. JCC members are eligible for discounts on private swim lessons year-round.
New Aquatic Personal Training for Adults!
Change up your exercise routine with aqua training. It's the same intensity as cross-training but with lower impact on the joints. Aqua training incorporates the water’s natural resistance and buoyant qualities to provide a safe and effective workout. Utilized by athletes for conditioning and recreational exercises alike, aqua training is also perfect for pre-and post-rehabilitation. Email privateswim@mmjccm.org to inquire.
