The JCC Preschool Swim Lessons use the SAME ciriculum as our youth lessons. The pre-school lessons are in the small pool, with the exception of Pre-3 which uses both pools. Teachers teach the same content with age appropriate strategies.

Pre Level 1 

Participants will practice and be evaluated on: entering and exiting the water safely, submerge mouth, nose and eyes, exhale underwater, open eyes underwater, pick up a submerged object, float on front and back, explore arm movements, swim on front and back and basic water safety skills.

Pre Level 2

Participants will practice and be evaluated on: entering and exiting the water independently, rollover from front to back, swim on side, float on front and back, tread water, submerge head, front and back glides and combined strokes.

Pre Level 3

Participants will practice and be evaluated on: jumping into deep water from the side, perform survival float, butterfly kick and body motion, diving, rotary breathing, submerge and retrieve object, front and back crawl.
