Multiple levels and options available

Summertime is a great time for your child to build confidence in the water, and the JCC has options to fit every summer schedule!

All swim lessons take place in the crown jewel of the JCC, the Peck Aquatic Center. State-of-the-art UV-filtration allows us to provide a swim experience that is easier on eyes and skin.

We are proud to provide the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program to our whole community.

NEW! Summer Swim Express

When our standard session dates interfere with your summer travel plans, we recommend trying our new Summer Swim Express lessons. Each class meets three days per week for only two weeks (Tues, Wed, Thu).

Available options include Preschool levels 1-3 (for ages 3-5) and Youth levels 1-5 (for ages 6 and up).

Standard Summer Sessions

When there is only one day per week that works in your busy schedule, our standard summer class session for the American Red Cross Learn to Swim program is still available.

Options include Preschool levels 1-3 (for ages 3-5) and Youth levels 1-5 (for ages 6 and up).

NEW! Summer Private Swim Lessons

For JCC Members only

Designed for participants ages 4-12 looking to progress in a more individualized setting. Thirty minute lessons are one-on-one with the instructor and focus on building overall comfort and proficiency in the the water. Contact Nathan Margrett to schedule or learn more.

Parent-Child Swim

Many parents have more time to spend with their little ones in the lazy days of summer, and our popular infant and toddler swim classes are a great way to connect and build your child’s familiarity with water.

In addition to our standard weekend classes, we have also added a Friday morning Parent-Tot class for those who have busy summer weekends!

Parent-Tot classes are for ages 6-36 months with an adult. Parent-Child classes are for ages 18-36 months with an adult.
