During the school year, BRAINS offers a limited number of Learn to Swim classes for children no younger than 5 years old who do not already know how to swim. Most classes are pre-enrolled with students currently enrolled in a BRAINS Beginner Learn to Swim class. A limited number of spots are expected to become availalble for the upcoming season's classes; if interested in being placed on a wait list and recieving a courtesy call to register for a vacated spot please call BRAINS at (347)-267-9469.
Please do not sign your child up for these classes if he or she already knows how to swim.

Two sets of beginner learn-to-swim classes are offered; one set running from September to January, another from February to mid-June. Each 40- or 50-minute class meets once a week. Classes are conducted in the pool extension, which is approximately 3 - ½ feet deep. Children should be water comfortable and ready to learn in order to take the class. They must have a bathing suit, bathing cap and a towel to enter the pool and should wear swim goggles.
Limited to 5 to 7 year-olds who do not already know how to swim.
Please note: The FHHS pool is a competition pool - water temperature is cool.

Please note:
The FHHS pool is a competition pool, not a bathing pool - water temperature is cool. BRAINS does not offer refunds for variations in temperature or condition of the water or facility. Maintenance of the FHHS pool facility is performed by a private company under contract with the NYC Department of Education and is not, in any way, under the control of the Bay Ridge Aquatics Institute, Inc.
No refunds. Applicant is responsible for the total fee since acceptance to the program is offered to a limited number of candidates. All teaching costs, security and permit fees must be paid for whether classes are attended or not, therefore BRAINS cannot offer make-up classes, credits or refunds for any classes you may miss. In the event that a class is cancelled we will, at our option, either schedule a make-up or offer a refund or credit for the number of classes cancelled. Exceptions: If major illness or serious complications make it impossible for the registrant to attend classes, we will make every effort to fill the remaining classes with another participant. Should such circumstances arise and we can fill the slot, while we are not obligated to do so, we will consider your request for a refund or credit. Please note that a processing fee of $25 will be applied to any refunds granted. If you are seeking such consideration, you must submit this request in writing along with doctor's notes and/or any other proof needed.
Transfers: Any transfer requests not initiated by BRAINS must be accompanied by payment of a $15 transfer processing fee.
