Our Approach: Quality Instruction Responsible Teaching:

Our approach to teaching swimming skills was developed in a gentle way to help the beginner and those afraid of the water to overcome their fear of the water and become a competent swimmer.
Being able to swim and master the water is essential to the human spirit enabling the individual to gain a new sense of freedom. Not only does the individual gain a new sense of freedom, swimming gives you an improved physical sense of well-being and better life experience.
We are highly touted as being number one in “Overcoming Fear of Water” and beginner swim classes. We also offer stroke improvement classes and efficient fitness and exercise swimming.

Aquaskills Swim Lessons NYC:

At Aquaskills we set goals for every class. Our classes are customized for each student (private classes). Every package of classes includes learning how to swim, tread water, stroke improvement, technique and how to use swimming for endurance and fitness.

Very zpersonal classes no concern for correct form can lead to poor habits and bad exercise as opposed to alignment resulting in the best overall exercise.With the ability to stretch in the water this is the perfect complimentary sport for runners,bikers,and strength training enthusiasts.

Aquaskills' swim instructors will go in the water with you and teach by demonstrating. Our instructors will also  hold your hand through your learning experience .Aquaskills instructors are in the water with you demonstrating techniques and giving that extra sense of safety and security. Other gyms, health clubs and swim schools mainly teach their classes from the deck. 
 
Aquaskills teaches with demonstration. We  have more freedom and space to develop the students techniques.  
Aquaskills instructors are mature dedicated to aquatics and Red Cross Certified.We emphasize learning every aspect and learning overall coordination while breathing correctly. Aquaskills uses techniques derived from a former  Olympic Swim Team member, an All City Swimmer from Los Angeles,the Aquatic Exercise Association (AEA) and the American Red Cross. All of our instructors have many years of practical swimming and teaching experience in the profession
 Aquaskills gives customized classes to our students’ needs and situation.

We do have a primary location that is extremely subway accessible which makes it very easy to take our classes. We are even close to the path train.  Other swim schools are not always in the same location, requiring students to travel to out of the way locations for the next class on their schedule. 
    Aquaskills will retrain their staff to work the Aquaskills method and provide excellence. We look for teachers that have skills,empathy,intuition and clear demonstration skills.
Aquaskills schedules classes are fixed and are during a span of time depending upon enrollment.  Other schools will require a credit card and keep signing you up without your permission unless you cancel

Our Philosophy

One acquires discipline, coordination, balance and harmony while swimming. Moving in the water is like sculpting and dancing as well as a meditation. We believe in an individualistic approach that comes with intuition as well as skillful instruction. Swimming is a life skill that will not only make a child or adult safe in the water, but will open doors to a plethora of outdoor water sports from sailing to scuba diving, and doing it safely. We are confident that everyone can learn to swim and its all about the creative approach of the instructors, but fear not everyone is possible to teach, and where there is a will there is a way.
