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.

Grads aren’t getting hired — here’s what I’m doing about it

Hire Proximity

College students and recent grads are facing one of the toughest job markets in years, and many are coming home to Long Island unsure of what comes next. Parents tell me every week that their kids are bright, capable, and motivated, but they are struggling to get traction, land interviews, or stand out in a crowded hiring landscape. That is exactly why I launched Hire Proximity, a career development company built to give young people the individualized support and employer access they are missing. 1:1 Career Coaching for Students and Recent Graduates This is personalized, practical coaching designed to help early career talent articulate their strengths, refine their story, prepare for interviews, and build confidence. Most students never receive this level of individualized guidance, and it is already helping clients move from uncertainty to clarity. Inside Hiring: Real Conversations With Real Employers Our Inside Hiring series brings students directly into conversation with the people who sit closest to hiring decisions. They hear what strong applicants do differently and how to stand out in a competitive process. Our next session is Monday, March 16 with VaynerX. My goal is simple. I want to level the playing field by giving students real guidance and real proximity to employers, something that has been missing for far too long. If your student is struggling to get started or needs personalized support, I would love to help. Visit www.hireproximity.com or email us at edward@hireproximity.com to learn more or schedule a 1:1 coaching session today. Ready to support, Edward Frankel Founder, Hire Proximity Edward@hireproximity.com
