HVCC/JCC (Hudson Valley Community Center/Jewish Community Center)
Aquatics at the HVCC is focused on the quality of your experience. Whether you are a child or an adult, recreational or competitive swimmer, or someone intent on staying or getting into shape, the HVCC/JCC instructors, coaches and staff serve your needs. The HVCC offers year round swimming lessons on a rolling basis. Join any time and continue for as long as you want. Lessons are offered to babies, Pre K, children, and adults! Levels 1-5! The prices you see on the HVCC/JCC website are paid per month and are for one time per week. So that's 4 lessons per month (unless for a funny month like July and then there are 5 lessons that month).

Year round (Winter and Summer). No start dates, just "dive" in when you're ready.

A family membership is included with swimming lessons! That means that you can also practice your swimming during open swim hours, work out in the fitness room while your child swims or play a quick game of basketball!

  1. Hi- I noticed that you don't have Sportsplex in New Windsor listed as a swim lessons option. My son did lessons at AllSport, Golds and stuck with Sportsplex. He is now a stron swimmer, briefly on their (now discontinued ) swim team and now he is in their Juniot Clinics for advanced swimmers and I started their Masters class for adults. James Behan is the Aquatics Director and is wonderful, knows all the kids who have been thru his pool and has great instructors who both encourage and push. The pool ares has lots of space, great when families have siblings waiting ( they can often even dip into the kiddie pool while waiting). definitely a program I would recommend adding to your list.
