What are people saying (AI review summary)? Overall, the reviews for NJSwim are predominantly positive, emphasizing the high quality of instruction and a supportive learning environment. Numerous parents commend instructors such as Miss Katie, Mr. Andrew, Miss Lindsay, Mr. Amir, and Ms. Melissa for their experience, dedication, patience, and effective, comforting teaching methods, especially beneficial for anxious children. Reviewers frequently note NJSwim's focus on proper swimming techniques, safety, and building confidence in the water, contributing to an enjoyable learning experience for kids. The friendly front desk staff, vigilant lifeguards, and the ability for parents to closely observe lessons are also appreciated. Additional benefits include a convenient location and flexible makeup policies. However, one detailed negative review highlighted significant administrative and structural concerns. These included a perceived lack of a clear, milestone-based advancement framework, with progression seemingly more reliant on parent advocacy than systematic evaluation. This reviewer also reported instances where administrative staff overrode instructor assessments of student readiness, such as unexplained mid-lesson changes from the deep to shallow end. Inequities in class time due to pool layout, where shallow-end laps result in shorter swim periods for students potentially ready for more, were also raised. Separately, one user reported needing to repost a review due to 'inappropriate doxxing of PII' in a prior response from NJ Swim.

I have my 2 kids enrolled, they love Miss Katie & Mr. Andrew! They are both magnificent teachers, very experienced and dedicated. They both have a soft and comforting teaching technique that works really well with nervous kids. So happy to be at Njswim

NJSwim is awesome because they really focus on teaching the right techniques, making sure everyone learns to swim well and safely. The instructors are super patient and create a fun environment, which makes learning a lot easier and more enjoyable. It's a great place for kids to gain confidence in the water! All 3 of my kids have attended and I am fully confident that they would be able to swim their way to safety every time.

My son has been doing the waterbabies class for about a month or so, Miss Lindsay is so kind and patient with the babies! She leads the class with such enthusiasm! We look forward to coming every single week!! I recommend coming and trying a class! The staff at the desk is so friendly too!

Positive experience since the moment we started. My daughter loves her teacher. The lifeguards are on top of watching the kids, I love being able to watch the lessons at such a close distance.

I've had to remove and repost my review due to an inappropriate doxxing of PII in the response from NJ Swim. Our experience with Njswim has been consistently disappointing, despite several months of participation and a willingness to give the program multiple chances. We stayed due to the convenience of the location and the flexibility of their makeup policy. I’ve shared detailed feedback directly with the staff throughout our time, and although I had initially decided not to leave a public review—out of a desire to leave quietly and respectfully—the school oddly encouraged me to share my perspective in this review, even after my concerns remained unresolved. To begin with the positives: we had two outstanding instructors, Mr. Amir and Ms. Melissa. They were consistently engaged, encouraging, and thoughtful in their approach to teaching. If either of them were to continue their work elsewhere, we would gladly follow. However, the overall structure and administration of the program posed significant challenges to student progress. There does not appear to be a clear, milestone-based advancement framework. Progression seems to rely more on parent advocacy than a systematic evaluation of student readiness. Despite my child’s instructors agreeing they were ready to be challenged further, administrative staff at times overruled those decisions—including two occasions when my child was moved mid-lesson from the deep end to the shallow end of the pool without a defensible explanation. Additionally, students who are on the cusp of progressing to a higher level experience inequities in class time due to the pool layout. Laps in the shallow end take significantly less time than those in the deep end, resulting in shorter swim periods for students still grouped in the shallow section—even when they may be ready for more. There are other aspects of our experience that I’ve chosen not to include, as this review reflects only the most relevant and recurring issues for families evaluating their swim school options.
