FYI, there’s another great swimming school in Brooklyn that for some unknown reason didn’t get enlisted here — it’s Dolphin Swimming School (www.dolphinswimmingschool.com)
We have comprehensive programs both for kids and for grown-ups willing to swim. Just keep it in mind when considering a swimming school or a pool in Brooklyn

We didn’t have the best experience with Eric and the Eastern Parkway Athletic Center pool swim class. My late four year old, just turned five, took the beginner class here this summer. He spent the majority of the class time sitting on the edge of the pool wriggling around getting a bit bored. During a 45 minute class he was pulled along in the pool maybe three times for about two minutes a time. Often the teacher was talking over his shoulder to his other teachers/lifeguards or kids rather than really concentrating on my son for his brief little trips in the water. Even though there were two other adults present they did no teaching or bringing the kids in the pool, they just sat on the sides. There was no cohesive group instruction with all the kids at once, for instance, practicing strokes outside the water in a fun way, or kicking while holding on to sides. I have other complaints too, for instance there were no sophisticated teaching ideas to help children with water fears or to aid in water confidence, but the big one was that there was hugely insufficient in-pool time. I left Eric several messages to address this issue. None of them were returned.
