Welcome to Long Island Swim School!
Long Island Swim School is the teaching arm of the Long Island Aquatic Club. The primary emphasis of Long Island Swim School is on teaching children to swim correctly and to develop essential water skills in a relaxed and fun environment. We offer swimming lessons for children ages 4-10 beginner through intermediate. We also offer stroke clinics for children who are ready and looking to transition from swim school to swim team.
Our Mission
Learn it right the first time!
At Long Island Swim School children are taught their strokes right the first time in an environment that makes swimming easy and fun. Our learning sequences are geared towards small logical progressions that allow the whole stroke to be developed. We work on developing real swimming strokes, as opposed to developing a false sense of security derived by some underwater swimming and dog paddling that ultimately may interfere with learning real swimming. When children learn to swim right the first time, they learn to swim for life!
History
30 Years and Thousands of Swimmers!
Since its inception in 1979, Long Island Swimming has provided swim lessons for thousands of children throughout Nassau County and Long Island. Our program is under the direction of USA Swimming national level coaches Ginny Nussbaum and Dave Ferris. They are considered two of the top swimming coaches in the world. Dave most recently had the honor of coaching the National Junior Team in Australia in 2006. As top level coaches they know what works and they know how to teach it.
