SwimJim - Upper West Side

I do not recommend SwimJim to any parent. The instructors are least concerned about teaching students - they are unmotivated, go through the same repeated motion with no focus on the student, and many times are more interested in teaching trainee teachers than your child. I wasted time and money with SwimJim for 3 years with my son.

My daughter has been swimming with SwimJim for over a year. We LOVE IT! Everybody from the SwimJim Columbus -UWS Location and the customer service team have been great with us. They are helpful and make sure always that we have a great experience. Her Teacher- Sam- is amazing. My daughter started at 3 and by 6-8 weeks she was swimming.

My daughter has been taking SwimJim lessons for the past two years and she absolutely loves it! She really enjoys being in the water and if you're looking for teachers who are friendly but strict about the lessons then this is the place for you. I highly recommend the teachers at the Upper West Side location.

We started our daughter here for the early infant lessons and she we really enjoyed it. The instructors were fun and friendly and very in tuned with our little girl. The classes are also small so everyone gets individualized attention. We took a break and tried a different program that was in a more convenient location but it doesn't compare. We hope to be back with SwimJim in the Spring.

Everyone is very friendly and kind. All the teachers that I had the luck to attend their lessons are very prepared and put great positive energy. They help all the kids feel comfortable during the session. My older son keep singing most of the songs that are sang during the session. Great environment!

The pool is great for beginners and for all-season lessons. Downside is that the rescheduling policy is rigid, the user portal to schedule classes isn't very user friendly, the changing room is tiny and the price per class $50 is steep for a 30-minute swim.
