Hi, I would really appreciate if someone could suggest some club or group where I could take my 8month old daughter for swimming lessons. We leave in Brooklyn. Thanks in advance!!
Hi Yelena, I think the YMCA is a great place to start. It is low cost and safe. That is where my daughter went.
The YMCA on Atlantic and Court Street Has programs for all ages.
I've been taking my 12 month old to the local YMCA (Dodge is mine) and they have swimming classes for little ones. Once a week, and she loves it!
camp olympia at john jay high school in park slope. we're starting this friday. friends of mine have done it before and love it. pool is warm.

If you live near the L you can go to the 14th Street Y in Manhattan on 1st and 14th.
Check the Bedford Y
Try your local YMCA. Their classes are getting ready to start for the spring session. I like the Dodge Y in Downtown Brooklyn on Atlantic & Court.
Lessons are also offered at YWCAs and YM &YWHAs
Generally, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children not begin formal swimming lessons until after their fourth birthday. But since the question was posted in 2008, and now we are steadily approaching 2011, I think it's time for you to take your daughter to the best swimming school in Brooklyn — Dolphin Swimming School. With our qualified instructors she'll learn to swim confidently and with ease. Visit our website for more details: www.dolphinswimmingschool.com
