After a negative experience when he was younger, I was delighted at the quality facilities and small class sizes. He went from nearly zero to swimming half the pool and jumping into the deep end, and it's all from the instruction here. It's pricier than some other options but worth it for us. Would be 4.5 - only deduction for pricing model.

It only took one week the first summer and we were so pleased we signed up for a second week. During the summer of 2020, I respected that a credit could be used at a later time and was thankful that I could send my son to camp at the lake for a week during the summer given the fact everyone has to work around many rules and regulations due to covid. The location was not as convenient as Secaucus but the kids loved it. Currently, both of my children (now 7 and 3) are attending Miss Yvonne's spring break camp in Hoboken. In just 4 days, my 3 year old who would previously "sink" in the water (his words), is now swimming without a floatie! We will continue with Miss Yvonne's group lessons for him afterwards. Overall, the kids are having a blast this week--not only with swimming but jump rope, soccer, arts & crafts and science too! If you would like your child to learn how to swim, I highly recommend Miss Yvonne's swim school. If you are looking for a great camp with lots of swim instruction and fun --convenient to anyone in JC and Hoboken -- try the camp! It is worth the cost!

U know why? It's bc there are No rails to grab onto. Sink or Swim! Hahahaha. My goal! Lol. I think everyone can improve on their swimming skills. The staff is amazing, the swim instructors are Awesome . So, patient with us. Ohh u can also pay for private lessons too. It's very affordable! If it's 4u as an adult or kids give them a try.

And I'm terrible when it comes to learning how to do new athletic/physical things and even *I* learned to swim. (Now in my mid 50s.) If you're nervous, think you're too old, whatever else--please give it a try; you'll at least learn enough to be comfortable in the water, and the staff are really professional and the time I spent in the water for my lessons was actually really relaxing. Worth it. Give it a try, even if you never get to the point where you swim Olympic pool laps, you will feel competent in a pool and you will find enjoyment.

We walked over to a spot that we liked and sat down which is when we noticed that the pool was pleasantly (almost) empty. I went with my fiancé and although this is a family pool with a ton of kids running around they were all so well behaved and sweet. As far as the bathrooms, they're fine. Not amazing, not totally horrible but fine. There's stalls as well as showers and changing rooms. Someone mentioned in another review that the floors were went but maybe that happens later in the day as more people come to the pool.

The class is divided into beginner and more advanced groups, but even in the beginner group, I didn't receive enough attention. When other "beginners" progressed quickly, it was easy for me to fall behind. And when you are clearly struggling, there isn't enough guidance from the instructors, so you often end up just practicing on your own without much direction. The instructors are very friendly, but if you are like me--completely inexperienced or not comfortable in the water--I wouldn't really recommend this class.

If you had told me a year ago that I'd be floating in a pool -- willingly, happily, and without the…read moresecurity of solid ground beneath my feet -- I would've laughed... and maybe cried a little. I spent most of my life avoiding the deep end like it was filled with sharks. Water and I were not on speaking terms. Honestly, I would've preferred two back-to-back dentist appointments over a single swim class. Enter Swim Easy New York -- aka the miracle workers: Krystoff, Evelyn, and Isabela. These three absolute legends took an adult who used to treat puddles like potential death traps and taught me not just the basics, but how to tread water, how to stay calm without feeling the bottom, and -- wait for it -- how to jump off the edge of the pool into the deep end. Let me say that again: I JUMPED INTO THE DEEP END. On purpose. For someone who spent a lifetime cautiously stepping away from the edge and praying never to fall in, that moment was nothing short of a mental breakthrough. My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears... but I did it. And YEYYY ME. What sets Swim Easy apart isn't just the amazing instructors -- though they are truly amazing. Krystoff is basically the James Bond of swim teachers: calm, cool, and in total control. Evelyn is like your personal hype squad with the patience of a saint, and Isabela radiates so much warmth and encouragement that you feel like an Olympian just for showing up. But the structure of the program is what really makes it stand out. Unlike most places where you're locked into one class a week, Swim Easy lets you take as many classes as you want. I personally went with two a week to help reinforce what I was learning. It made a huge difference. They also offer a variety of time slots, including classes starting as late as 5 PM, until 7.15 pm which is perfect if you work a 9-to-5. And the best part? It's super affordable, especially for the level of personal attention and support you get -- and the caliber of instructors you're learning from. I've laughed, panicked a little, swallowed enough pool water to qualify as a human sponge -- but I've learned to swim. And more than that, I actually enjoy being in the water now. That's something I never thought I'd say in this lifetime. If you've been putting it off, telling yourself it's too scary or too late -- please, just go to one class. That's all it takes to see how different this place is. They'll teach you, encourage you, and help you do things you never imagined you could. They changed my life. I think they'll change yours too.
