Frequently Asked Questions

The Group Swim Lesson program at the EDCJCC runs on Saturdays and Sundays during the day. New in 2024, we will be offering two 24-week sessions. This will allow families more consistency in their child’s swim journeys and relieve the pressure of constantly re-registering for new classes. Session and registration dates are posted online prior to registration. Classes sell out very quickly, so please make sure to sign up as soon as you can.

As of the Winter 2023 Group Swim session (November 18/19), all participants will receive a complimentary EDCJCC branded towel. (Students in parent-and-child classes will receive two towels.) Please make sure to bring your towels with you to class each week, as towel service will not be available in the locker rooms.

These new procedures will help us reduce misuse of towels and clutter in the locker rooms that occur during our larger swim programs, as well as ensure towel availability and locker room cleanliness.

Members are given access to priority registration for 24 hours. Following that period, registration will open for 24 hours to students currently enrolled in the active session. Finally, open registration will be available for all other interested participants.
