As of Oct 28, 2026, Enrollercoaster tracks 72 swim classes and lessons for babies in Manhattan, from 12 providers including British Swim School of Manhattan, Asphalt Green, and SwimJim. 64 are open for registration right now, and the rest are closed or not yet reporting a status. 61% of the programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday; the rest are weekday-only.
Prices. Across the 36 programs that publish a price, the typical (median) listed price is $249; most fall between $247 and $289, with a full range of $57 to $2,048. Providers list prices differently — a single class, a month, or a full term — so compare the registration pages, not just the number.
Ages. Every program here accepts at least part of the babies range (under 2); the list leads with the classes built for this age and finishes with those that only touch it at the edge.
Where the open spots are. By neighborhood, the most swim classes and lessons for babies with open registration today are in Battery Park City (15 open), Upper East Side (9 open), Chelsea (9 open), Financial District (9 open), and Upper West Side (5 open). Neighborhood counts change daily as providers open and close sessions.
For babies and children under 2, classes are caregiver-and-child: you are in the room (or the pool) with them, sessions are short, and the goal is comfort, sensory play and social time rather than skills. Look for programs that state a narrow age range, because a class built for 6-month-olds and one built for 18-month-olds are very different hours.
64 of the 72 swim classes and lessons for babies we track in Manhattan are open for registration as of Oct 28, 2026. Status is read from each provider's own registration system every morning.
The typical listed price is $249, and most of the 36 priced programs fall between $247 and $289. Prices are as published by each provider and may cover one session, a month or a full term.
Usually yes, if the child's age falls inside the range the provider publishes. On this page the classes built specifically for under 2 are listed first; those that only overlap the edge of the range come last, so check the age chip on each card.
Today the most open swim classes and lessons for babies are in Battery Park City (15 open), Upper East Side (9 open), and Chelsea (9 open). These counts are recomputed every morning.
The largest by number of programs are British Swim School of Manhattan (22), Asphalt Green (19), SwimJim (8), Physique Swimming (5), and Chelsea Piers (4). 12 providers in total have swim classes and lessons for babies listed in Manhattan.
Yes — 44 of the 72 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.
