British Swim School at PS22 Jersey City Bergen-Lafayette

That stretch of Van Horne Street already doubles as a school corridor for PS22’s youngest students, so adding a Swimming school between pick-ups makes practical sense. British Swim School at PS22 Jersey City Bergen-Lafayette sits inside the building’s ground floor, making it easy to pivot from drop-off to swim time without crossing traffic.

Across infant water familiarization classes and adult stroke refinement clinics, the program keeps the pool busy all week. Toddlers work on breath control and gentle floats, while stroke-intensive teens work on flip turns and endurance sets. Private lessons run back-to-back with semi-private groups, so families can book a 30-minute slot and still be out before the next session starts.

Behind 264 Van Horne Street in the Bergen-Lafayette pocket, the location is quieter than Journal Square but still within a five-minute walk of the 81 and 6 bus lines. Parking along the curb is free after school hours, though you’ll want to circle once if you arrive right at 3:15.
