1 / 3Union City Swimming Pool & Rec
📍 Union City, NY
Community recreation center with heated pool facilities offering structured swimming lessons for all ages, including parent-and-child classes for children aged 3 and under. Taekwondo classes also available.
I take my 3 year old and 13 year old for swimming lessons on Saturdays. The registration process was super easy and the life guards are so patient and friendly. My 3 year old always panics initially but they work so well with her by the end of class she is smiling and beaming with pride I love to see it. With the beginners ages 0-3 parents are required to get in water. The pool is heated and spacious. I would definitely recommend.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Families with toddlers and early swimmers benefit most from the heated water and patient instruction style — instructors are consistently praised for calming nervous children and building confidence by end of class. Regular programming suits families wanting structured lessons rather than casual drop-in swims.

“If you're looking for the adult swim, the entrance, its located in the back of the Bruce D. Walter Recreation Center. Follow the signs to door eight at the appropriate time, you can find the times on the swim table of the website. Lockers are available but make sure to take a lock.”

“Swimming classes are good. Taekwondo classes happen in the hall but it’s a little crowded. There is not much space. Unrelated to the recreation center but parking is a big concern.”
