The classes are no more than three students per class and there are two teachers in the pool so you can feel very confident and safe for your child child. Now- this is not a high end location with changing rooms and showers etc. however- I have been to other places who have such a rigorous curriculum that they are not adapting to each individual child's needs. They are doing that here. So 1 no fancy locker rooms, no area for the parents to hang. BUT my kid was braver then she ever was in any class before.

The curriculum is great but their commitment to pool safety - at least at one of their locations -…read moreis suspect. I took this picture at 808 Columbus Ave. last week. It's a laneline, attached to a 5lb kettleball instead of the i-hook that is built into the wall of the pool. My five year old daughter, who is learning to swim, tried to steady herself and nearly pulled the kettleball into the pool and onto her head. I've implored them to fix this (which is simple). It's disappointing that they won't.

Not happy with this place. My mom took English classes there, and she hated it. Very unprofessional.read more

This review is about Harlem YMCA 2021 Summer Camp. So I have…read morepaid over $3k for my son to attend summer camp and the schedule /activities are horrible. Keeping in mind that we are still in a Pandemic and restrictions are still in place. The kids draw on paper plattes everyday. They go to the local park. They do STEM activities - GREAT. They even have nap time. However they do not have any swim classes why because they could not find life guards however Asphalt Green and other YMCA branches have swimming for the kids. My son is constantly bored and tells me so. Children must bring their own lunches. The only positive is that the air conditioner is working. The Harlem YMCA should have kept their summer camp closed and not hustled parents.

Not a fan. I deeply…read morewanted to love this place, but things didn't go well. I enrolled my 3 1/2 year old daughter, who before coming here used to love playing in a pool. She didn't know how to swim, yet, so we were excited for her to finally learn doing something she so much seemed inclined (and willing) to learn. Coaches seem to change very frequently at this location, as she experienced 3 different instructors in a handful classes... hard to get to trust a person with such lack of consistency. After a couple of successful lessons, she was progressed to put her head under water too soon, and eventually didn't want to go anymore. We tried to motivate her by asking the different instructors not to progress her that fast, but by the time they followed our input, they had already lost her: she wouldn't even get inside the pool anymore. Now a year has passed, and she STILL doesn't want to go back. We have suggested a different location with different instructors, but she just doesn't want to go. Clearly, the system they used at this location ended up causing the opposite result, which is a complete rejection of swimming and pools in general. Obviously, I can't be happy with this. Now we have no idea when she'll be able and willing to go back. Not recommended.

I've had my son enrolled in swim Jim since he was 4 months old but I'm sick of their policies and…read moredecided to pull him out. He's been stuck on the same swim level for about 6 months now, learning almost nothing new. I have friends who have kids in other swim classes who are far more advanced. The person who answers the phone for the NY region is not accommodating at all. She didn't care in the slightest that we were cancelling due to a very simple fix on their end. Plus there is a continuing registration fee that they charge you every year, that just seems like a scam. All in all, it's okay but their policies are out of date, not accommodating and there are better classes in New York.
