Jim Spiers and the other teachers of SwimJim are the most recognized swimming instructors in New York. Each team member brings a unique but complementary style of interaction and education to parents, children or training, while maintaining the standards and quality of our proven methodology.

All instructors are certified by the USSSA and maintain their skills and teaching knowledge at annual and local conferences. All staff members are currently certified in C.P.R. and although not required by law, all teachers are certified in First Aid.
