The JCC Aquatics Programs are based on the principals and methods established by the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross program is progressive; each skill builds on the skills mastered in the previous levels. In order to ensure quality programming, it is necessary to successfully complete each level in the progression. Essential swim and safety skills are taught at each level. Skipping or omitting levels may result in our child missing vital skills. Swimmers are separated by age and ability so the children can learn in a relaxed, noncompetitive environment. Progress cards are handed our at the end of each session telling parents which skills are accomplished and which need work. Please see Swim Levels for a general description of components for each level. For more information or level placement, please contact Amy Johnson, Aquatics Director @ 414-967-8192 or by email @ ahjohnson@jccmilwaukee.org.
