OUR MISSION — As swimming enthusiasts and aquatic educators, we see time in the water as therapeutic, freeing and transformative. Helping others enriches our lives and we see, every day, how swimming promotes and helps maintain a healthy lifestyle; physically, mentally and emotionally. Since our founding in 2002, the Imagine Swimming family has grown up and are proud to have graduated over 25,000 children.

Founded in 2002 by former world-ranked swimmers, Casey Barrett and Lars Merseburg, from Canada and Germany, Today, Imagine Swimming is now the best of its class, with 11 locations throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn that connecting thousands of children and families to the water, every day.

OUR APPROACH — Imagine Swimming adheres to the teachings of Reggio Emilia method of education, an Italian educational philosophy that places emphasis on focusing on the child, fostering imagination and encouraging their interaction with the natural world. Many of New York City’s top preschools have adopted this principle in their curriculum and we see this best expressed in the water – where every sense is engaged and the opportunities for exploration, and growth, are endless.

With highly-developed teaching methods and rigorous training, it's the teachers - in the moment - who must pass along this love and knowledge of swimming long-term. Our 80-person instructor team reflect the New York City community itself—diverse, ambitious, top notch, and we consider ourselves fortunate to celebrate the aquatic world together. Sharing this love of the water is at the core of swim lessons at Imagine, rooted in play and creativity, and informs our mantra: Safe. Fun. For life.
