As of Sep 13, 2026, Enrollercoaster tracks 1,481 swim classes and lessons across NYC, from 31 providers including Take Me To The Water, Asphalt Green, and Goldfish Swim School. 993 are open for registration right now, 18 more have a waitlist, and the rest are closed or not yet reporting a status. 4 programs are listed as free. 61% of the programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday; the rest are weekday-only.
Prices. Across the 531 programs that publish a price, the typical (median) listed price is $210; most fall between $174 and $258, with a full range of $40 to $1,386. Providers list prices differently — a single class, a month, or a full term — so compare the registration pages, not just the number.
Ages. Programs run from birth to 18½. The most options are for school-age kids (849), preschoolers (445), and teens (445).
Where the open spots are. By neighborhood, the most swim classes and lessons with open registration today are in Upper East Side (70 open), Battery Park City (46 open), Chelsea (43 open), Financial District (41 open), and Midtown East (38 open). Neighborhood counts change daily as providers open and close sessions.
Most NYC swim programs group children by ability rather than strictly by age, so a first class usually starts with a short assessment in the water. Parent-and-child classes for babies and toddlers focus on comfort, floating and water safety with a caregiver in the pool; from around age 3, children move to small instructor-led groups working on kicking, breath control and basic strokes. Programs run in indoor pools year-round, so this is one of the few activities with real availability every season. Bring a swim diaper for children under 3, goggles, and a towel; most pools ask that a parent stay on deck for the younger levels.
993 of the 1,481 swim classes and lessons we track across NYC are open for registration as of Sep 13, 2026, and 18 more are taking a waitlist. Status is read from each provider's own registration system every morning.
The typical listed price is $210, and most of the 531 priced programs fall between $174 and $258. Prices are as published by each provider and may cover one session, a month or a full term. 4 programs are free.
Programs run from birth to 18½. The most options are for school-age kids (849), preschoolers (445), and teens (445). Every listing shows its own age range.
Today the most open swim classes and lessons are in Upper East Side (70 open), Battery Park City (46 open), and Chelsea (43 open). These counts are recomputed every morning.
The largest by number of programs are Take Me To The Water (346), Asphalt Green (336), Goldfish Swim School (126), British Swim School of Brooklyn, Queens & Nassau (79), and British Swim School of Manhattan (77). 31 providers in total have swim classes and lessons listed across NYC.
Yes — 894 of the 1459 programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday. Use the day filter above the list to show only weekend or weekday classes.
