Top Swim clubs in Queens, United States

Excellent teachers and curriculum. My child enjoyed her classes and excelled in valuable swimming skills. Only issue is site based-water was at times too cold in fall/winter months for a baby to use

Garci is one of the best instructors. I noticed so many improvements from my daughter’s performance while he was covering for other instructors . He knows how to work with kids so well. Wish he can be her permanent instructor

My daughter loves swimming lessons. I love the late hours and they’re accommodating and work with me and my schedule. The pool area sometimes gets crowded with parents waiting with limited seating availability. Only reason why I’m giving 4 stars is because The gym needs to do better with the pool maintenance specifically in the summer time.

The Boys and girls club use to be great to deal with! Now, not so good. You call the # which prompts you to email, they answer you back a few months later...how professional is that!?... There's always some excuse........

Love British Swim School for my son. Everyone is so friendly down to earth. He has been going since May and is learning so much with his swim coaches. This place is the best.

Wow 👌 best swimming school in queens ! Staff, coach , equipment are all A+ . This location has the cleanest pool and no mugginess in pool area. The best thing is the ease of scheduling and making up missed classes without any penalties thus the reason many parents bring their kids here. It's perfect....monthly automatic payments. don't forget to download their app...it's so sophisticated and easy and I love it.

My 2 kids have been taking swim classes here since 10/2022. Overall I like the instructors and my kids enjoy swim classes. They are also progressing well with their aquatic skills. My 6 years old went from a child scared of the deep end and putting his face in water to a confident swimmer and adventurer at the beach diving through waves. The reason for my 4 star and not a 5 star review has to do with the facility at LA fitness. Kids have to change in tents, there is limited seating for parents and few places to hang jackets in winter time. The pool area is very hot--great for the swimmers but the parents are sweating on the sidelines. You are not allowed in the locker rooms to help your child change or use the bathroom. You have to go upstairs and use the single stall bathroom, which is often occupied. Also, most of the times, the soap, toilet paper and/or hand towel is empty. The location is very convenient and the instructors are good so I therefore tolerate the facilities at LA fitness.

Horrible work environment do not work here they treat the workers like slaves and the supervisors are on a power trip. Serious narcissist behavior. Unprofessional and young untrained staff members that try create friction amongst other employees. Do not waste your money at this camp that can’t even afford cool trips or buses to take your kids to these trips.

My experience at the school was great. There were, however, a few minor areas that I was disappointed with. Firstly, there needs to be more classes available for Shark 1. It is hard to get a class when you move up to this level and the wait list is very long. Added to this is, once in this level you are required to swim the 25 yards and to my recollection my kid only got to do that once because the other lanes are always occupied with the LA Fitness customers. My suggestion is to get more classes available for this level and to have talks with the LA Fitness personnel to get access to another lane for when you have the Shark 1 and 2 classes and maybe to put those classes later so that the probability of getting access to the full length of the pool is greater.„

Worst work environment ever. If I could give less than 1 star I would. Too much secrecy and favoritism. They hire you on the first day and act like they want people to work there but inquire about your schedule or even when you're getting paid and you'll get fired. And I still didn't get paid for the days I worked despite being told over and over again that "someone" would call me. A lot of the staff are also untrained younger people so that the director (a major narcissist) can remain unchallenged in his domain. Do not waste your money and send your children here.

Waste of money, dont bring your kids here if you have morals. Even the staff dont care about the kids. Directors in charge gaslight and only care about their own reputations. Kids there Arent treated well. I worked for them during the summer and I can say they made me question my ability to watch a kid in a gym when My eyes were glued to them the whole time. They make excuses and they don’t even let a counselor try to help take care of a kid. They plan trips in 90+ weather and make the kids walk through this heat.. and then they blame me and my group for trying to give our attention to the kids as if they are slaves. I’d give it -1 stars if I could.

We’ve been coming here to swim classes for my, at the time 17 month old, since November,2020. Owner is very hands on. Staff is friendly. My daughter loves it. They’re very understanding with rescheduling as well. Both locations we’ve taken class at has been clean and safe. I definitely recommend this swim school.

Variety Boys and Girls Club offers the best swimming classes around. We tried other classes in Astoria and none compare to the price, teachers, results at Variety Boys and Girls Cub. Our daughter started lessons when she was 4 and can now swim all by herself. The classes are held throughout the year (with 2 week breaks in between sessions). There is a structured lesson plan for the classes and sessions. All children are evaluated at the end of each session. The staff and teachers are really supportive. I highly recommend this place for lessons.

My son has attended 2 Summer Camps and 1 year of Afterschool, I can tell you that Variety is a jewel. Variety has a great "variety" of programs.
The Afterschool program is outstanding and my son really looks forward to coding, robotics and cooking. Most of all he likes that he has choices as to which "club" he can attend and, to him, it doesn't feel like he's in school. The staff creates a very warm and caring environment. The kids are respected. I could go on and on...Thank you Variety!

The BEST after school program/summer camp in Queens! My 10 year old has been in 4 different programs, she was not happy in any place other than The Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens. The staff is friendly & knowledgeable, they offer a mass variety of programs. The summer camp is jam packed full of exciting trips, activities & swimming too! They offer all of this for a fraction of other school programs. Keep up the good work and a big thanks to the staff for being so awesome!

My son has attended both after school and summer camp at the Club and he LOVES it. The new team has made tons of even MORE positive changes this year. The day to day offers more variety (mini camps each day for the kids to choose from) and of course the indoor pool has been renovated and is gorgeous.
The Admin is super organized and communication with parents has never been better. So happy to be part of this amazing organization that is a shining star in our community.
