Long Island Swim School

Long Island Swim School is the teaching arm of the nationally ranked Long Island Aquatic Club. Our Learn to Swim programs create strong, safe, and confident swimmers for life. With locations in Garden City and Syosset we train over 2,000 children each week at every swim level from Beginner to Olympian. Long Island Swim School offers swim lessons for children ages 2 - 14years old. The main emphasis of our programs is to teach children to swim correctly and develop essential water skills in a relaxed environment. Our goal driven and technique oriented approach is the key to your child's success. Through skill based quality teaching our students develop a joy for learning and a passion for swimming. At Long Island Swim School, we teach children to swim the same way the best in the world do. By using age-appropriate, proven techniques children build real skills in kick, pull, body position, and breath control. Our logical, consistent progression turns every fundamental—whether blowing bubbles or learning butterfly timing—into a building block for efficient, confident swimming. Our professional staff are swimmers and coaches with the knowledge to give your child the skills to achieve more than just water safety. We provide the best foundation possible for success. Not every child will dream of Olympic glory, but every child should have the foundation to take them there. Whether the end goal is a competitive journey or a recreational one, whether your child competes in 2044 or they are happy playing in their home pool, the skills they learn at Long Island Swim School will take them as far as their dreams allow.

Protecting Long Island Yards From Mosquitoes & Ticks 

Mosquito Brothers

On Long Island, enjoying your backyard is not always as simple as it should be. With increasing mosquito activity, growing tick concerns, and more awareness surrounding illnesses like Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, homeowners in Nassau County and Suffolk County are paying closer attention to what may be hiding in their grass, shrubs, and yard edges. That is where Mosquito Brothers comes in. Mosquito Brothers is a veteran-owned Long Island company specializing in professional mosquito and tick control. Our mission is to help families reclaim their outdoor spaces through dependable service, strong communication, and a higher level of care. Unlike large franchise operations, we take a more personal approach, understanding that every Long Island property has its own challenges, from leaf litter and shaded fence lines to dense shrubs, wooded borders, and other hard-to-reach areas where mosquitoes and ticks frequent most. What helps set Mosquito Brothers apart is our commitment to an Integrated Pest Management approach. Rather than relying on a single method, we use a thoughtful, multi-step approach because one treatment style alone can often fall short on Long Island. As one of the few companies in the region offering more extensive tick control methods, we focus not just on treating a property, but on addressing the conditions that allow these pests to thrive. Using professional-grade products and high-powered equipment, we are able to penetrate the protected areas where mosquitoes and ticks commonly rest and hide. At the center of it all is our Care Factor Promise — a commitment to helping protect the people and four-legged loved ones who matter most through a hassle-free, organized, and reliable experience
