For Babies, Toddlers, Preschool Ages and Kids.
Now there is a Blue Ocean Swimming program that’s just right
for the youngest people in your family!
Robert J. Valentin’s Blue Ocean Swimming program is always fun and challenging. He keeps it fun, by keeping the class moving, the skills changing, and by incorporating a little "controlled chaos" to keep it interesting. He makes it challenging, by introducing drills and exercises that require concentration, balance and a little strength.
Coach Valentin's program is held out of the Roosevelt Island Sports Park on Roosevelt Island in New York City. The pool is currently under renovation and scheduled to re-open in the spring of 2017. Thank you for your patience and continued interest. Please keep an eye out for email promotions about up coming classes.
