THE WATER IS OUR HOME
Welcome to Imagine Swimming – New York City’s premier learn-to-swim school. Since 2002, Imagine has welcomed thousands of families to our pools. Our mission? To foster a lifetime of safe fun in the water.
Learning to swim is an essential piece of every child’s education. It’s never too early, or too late, to start. Let us be your guides to the world of water!

When people ask – what makes Imagine different? Our answer is instant: It’s the teachers!
Diverse, international, creative, and caring, our team of instructors has long resembled a United Nations of the swimming world. While backgrounds are forever varied, everyone on our staff shares the same language of the water.

From babies to toddlers to elementary school age, on to competitive club teams, and adult classes, Imagine offers something for every stage of the swimming journey. Whether you're just getting started or training to compete, there's a place for you in the water with Imagine.

Imagine’s flagship pools are located in three NYC neighborhoods: TriBeCa, the Upper West Side, and Crown Heights, Brooklyn. In addition, we also utilize a mix of 'satellite' locations at community colleges, prep schools, and other available facilities across the city.
AQUATICS FOR ALL
There is something for every swimmer here at Imagine. Our offerings include:
And much more!


JOBS
Whether you competed at the Olympics or simply have an abiding love for being in water, there may be a home for you at Imagine. We’re constantly in search of aquatic enthusiasts eager to share their passion for swimming.
Working as a teacher at Imagine means far more creative freedom than you might find elsewhere. Instead of paint-by-numbers rigid instruction, we encourage fluid individualized lessons, where you’re free to work with students at their own chosen speed.
Friendly, fun, and kid-centric – if this sounds like your kind of swim lesson, we’d love to hear from you!
