Review from the 2024 Summer Camp SurveyLocation: YMCA 9th Street and 5th Avenue, and PS 107 REVIEW: He loved all of it. The counselors were warm and caring, and they went to the park nearly every day, had swimming lessons at the Y twice a week, and each week had a special program -- ice cream truck, Build a A Bear, Dance teacher, reptile show. It was a very affordable and well rounded option and he loved it. CHANGES: Nothing! DETAILS: Age of child; 5 … Weeks attended: 2

Swimming lessons?We did at the park slope YMCA. Our LO loves it. The pool is heated and usually the class has 6-7 kids only. I would recommend

Swimming lessons?We did classes at the prospect park ymca. The way I went about it was staying up till midnight and signing up right when registration opened up. Their website isn’t great though and I did have some challenges with it but ultimately got in. Both you and your child (or children) need to be members of the Y to get into the class.

best pools/swim lessons for teenager in or near park slopeHi, at her age she can do the teen membership at the 9th Street Y and swim laps during the special teen hours. I forget the price, but it's very affordable and the rest of the family doesn't have to be members, you can just get one for her.

Adult lap swim @ YMCA - busy?Hours at the Y have been scaled back because of the pandemic and staffing, but I’m hopeful they change soon - and this will hopefully keep the pool open more. Mornings are crowded. I think that there may be windows when it slows down during the day, but with more folks working from home and the limited hours, it can be fairly busy. (The Y pool used to be open 6-10 or something amazing like that) I will say I’ve rarely had to wait to swim in a lane - it just means you have to circle a lot and figure out your pace with other members. So not ideal but you can still get a good workout. I also miss childcare! That used to be such an amazing part of Y.

Swimming Lessons for toddlers?The YMCA on 9th street has swimming lessons, I believe it’s open to non-members as well. Heads up - the classes fill up fast so you have to be on it the day registration opens.

Prospect Park YMCAThe reservation for lap swim at the y is over. It's first come, first serve. It's pretty crowded early weekday mornings as it doesn't open until 7. I wish it would open earlier. Sunday morning at 81 was very quiet. I think you still have to sign up for family swim.
