Coach JaY’s Mission
Coach Jay Conklin’s mission is to teach as many kids how to swim and be safe as possible while encouraging a healthy and fun relationship with the water. This starts with your first lesson: Coach Jay and his staff will never push your child into doing something they are scared to do. We don't force kids underwater. We encourage through fun and play while thoughtfully checking all the boxes of swim. When this happens organically, students are so proud that they shine!
It's beyond important for kids to learn to swim and have fun, safe play in the pool. When taught the right way, a love for the water develops and swimming becomes the exercise they enjoy most in life!

Coach Jay Conklin
OWNER/INSTRUCTOR
Jay is a Dad first and foremost. He understands how tough it can be to get your kids swimming. Even with a pool in his backyard, his younger daughter wasn't interested in "swim lessons" until she was 5 years old!

Coach Taylor
INSTRUCTOR
This is Coach Taylor. This New York City native was previously a long-running Camp Activities Director at a summer camp for kids. This might explain her passion for working with kids, and how she so easily bonds with them. Her smile and warmth are infectious, calming even our most anxious little swimmers. Coach Jay has really picked some wonderful instructors.
