Lap Swim

Swimming is available for fitness members but requires a reservation.

Private Swim Lessons

Our American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program focuses on building skills one step at a time. Classes are available for children ages 3 and above and are tailored to the needs of each child, so that he or she can progress at a comfortable pace. Although some children may advance more quickly or slowly, our instructors ensure that everyone receives the instruction they need.

Thank you for your interest in swim lessons at the J.

With summer approaching, we are pausing our swim program. We look forward to welcoming you back into the pool this Fall!

All-In Swim

For students with challenging motor skills, sensory processing, or anxiety in the water, this program is designed to teach water safety and swim skills in a one-on-one environment.
