This was my first time swimming as an adult, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was part of a group of 8-9, and our coach, Tyler, did an excellent job leading the session. Even though we were all at different swimming levels, Tyler was patient and made sure to give each of us a version of the practice that matched our abilities. What stood out most was how encouraging he was—affirming our efforts while also giving constructive critiques so that we could improve with each swim. It was a supportive and motivating environment, and I left feeling both more confident and excited to continue learning. I came home and encouraged my friends and family members to join with me.
SAF-T-SWIM of New Hyde Park is a fantastic location!
My 5-year-old twins have been taking swim classes here for about a year, and we couldn’t be happier. They absolutely love their instructor, Julian. His patience, warmth, and genuine care have made all the difference.
My son, who usually gets very nervous around new environments, especially water, has completely transformed thanks to Julian’s steady support. Now, both of my kids look forward to Saturdays with excitement! We’re so grateful to have found this place and such an amazing instructor.
Saf-T-Swim has been an awesome experience, and a big part of that is thanks to the front desk team — especially Jason. From the moment you walk in, Jason makes the place feel welcoming and well-run. He’s always upbeat, professional, and super helpful no matter what you need — whether it’s handling scheduling questions, following up on class updates, or just greeting everyone with a smile. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure every visit goes smoothly. Jason consistently goes above and beyond, and it shows.
Rory’s also been helpful during my visits. He’s polite and gets things done, and I’ve never had an issue when he’s at the front desk. While he doesn’t stand out quite like Jason does, he’s still part of what makes things run efficiently.
Overall, the front desk team sets the tone for a great experience at Saf-T-Swim. Big thanks to Jason for always bringing his A-game — he’s a real standout and definitely makes a positive impact every time I come in.
I like that we have a 1-on-1 lesson. This allows for focused attention on my child, his skills, and the ability to target his specific areas of improvement. I like being able to walk him out onto the deck for added safety, to help prevent a slip or fall. I also like being able to walk on the deck to speak with the instructor about his focus areas from lesson to lesson, or if there is a substitute instructor, or he is making up a class. I also like the ability for group lessons if needed. I like being able to watch his lesson from the room, so he's not distracted. I also liked the recent swim-and-tell session and more frequent updates in the app.
I loved the instructor! My son is very very afraid of water but he likes his instructor Abigail so much, we will be continuing lessons. Also I liked that they allowed us a trial run to see if he would even like the lessons first. Really great service
I am a parent with two children enrolled in classes. Their instructor is professional and courteous. She provides immediate feedback and tips to strengthen their swimming skills. My boys seem to be getting more confident in the water.
