That is what we pay if a building you tell us about becomes a Penguin City Swim location.
We ask for two things: the building with the pool, and the person who manages it, with a phone number or an email address. We make the approach ourselves.
Apartment buildings, condominiums, gyms, hotels, private schools, community centers, houses of worship, offices.
An indoor pool, heated, at least three feet at the shallow end. Size matters less than temperature and availability.
Anywhere in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and the near suburbs of Westchester and New Jersey.
A pool is one of the most expensive amenities a building owns. Heating, chemicals, lifeguards, permits, and repairs are paid for every year whether anyone swims or not. A swim program turns that expense into income.
We pay for the hours we use, or we take on the cost of operating the pool entirely. Either way the building is better off than it was.
Children learn to swim in their own building instead of being taken across the city every week. Boards and managing agents hear about that.
We work around the existing swim schedule. Residents keep their lap hours and their open swim.
Teaching in New York City since 2013. Certified instructors, lifeguards on deck, and full insurance naming the property.
We rent agreed hours and pay for that time. Nothing else about the pool changes, and the building keeps its own staff and schedule.
We manage the pool entirely at our own cost, including chemicals, lifeguards, maintenance, repairs, and permitting, in exchange for the use of the pool at agreed hours for our lessons.
We rent agreed hours and pay for that time. Nothing else about the pool changes, and the building keeps its own staff and schedule.
We find the managing agent, the board, or the owner, and we present the program ourselves.
If the building becomes a Penguin City Swim location, the payment is made once we have been teaching there for three months.
One payment of $3,000 for each building, made to the first person who gives us the building and a contact we can reach. The building must be one we are not already speaking with. Payment is made after we have been teaching at the pool for three months.
