Group Swim Lessons

The Group Swim Lesson program at the EDCJCC runs on Saturdays and Sundays during the day. 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.

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.

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

Please send an email to the Aquatics office at aquatics@edcjcc.org with the following information:
* Name of the child
* Name of ALL parents/caregivers/guardians
* Member status
* Class AND day you are trying to sign up for
* Brief description of the issue

Our Parent-and-Child classes include up to 20 children, with a student-teacher ratio of no more than 10:1. Our Learn-to-Swim classes include up to 10 children, with a student-teacher ratio of 6:1.

We do not allow registrants to switch days or attend any classes they are not registered for. To ensure the high quality of class, we enforce a student-to-teacher ratio to prevent classes from being too large.

Descriptions of each class can be found here. If your child has taken lessons with us before, please enroll them for the next class recommended by the instructor.

If you have further questions, please contact the Aquatics office at aquatics@edcjcc.org with the following information:
* Age
* Have they taken classes at the JCC before? If so, what was their last level?
* Have they ever taken classes anywhere else?
* Is there significant fear or anxiety?

All refunds must be requested 2 weeks prior to the start of classes.* Contact with the Aquatics office by the start of class is required. Slots are very limited and there is a waitlist for classes. We would like to ensure there is a space for as many as possible. Please make sure to consider this before enrolling in classes.

* Accommodations may be afforded in some situations, but there will be absolutely no refunds subsequent to the Friday after the first week of classes.
