About

Imagine Swimming, for children ages 6-months to 12-years, was founded in 2002 by former world-class swimmers Casey Barrett and Lars Merseburg. Originally operated out of the Hunter College pool on 69th Street and Park Avenue, the school has grown to a dozen New York locations - with eight pools in Manhattan and four pools in Brooklyn. Imagine is now New York City's largest learn-to-swim school, with its very own Flagship facility in TriBeCa. Currently, the school welcomes over 3,000 students each week to its pools. Widely recognized in the swimming community as one of the world's top aquatic educations, Imagine has become a destination for international swimmers eager to pass along their skills as world-class instructors.
