Group Swim Lessons

Ready to introduce your little ones to the pool or help them grow their skills?

Overview

Ready to introduce your little ones to the pool or help them grow their skills? The EDCJCC’s children’s group swim classes are designed for students of all skill levels ages 4 months–12 years. Instructors provide expert guidance to students (and their caregivers!) with developmentally-appropriate water acclimation and swim skills. EDCJCC swimmers learn in a safe and supportive environment with the goal of building a life long love of swimming.

Group swim lessons run year-round in our indoor pool on Saturdays and Sundays., Please register for your child’s current age and swim level, and on the day of week that you will be able to attend. Make-up classes may only take place in your current class day and time the last week of the session.
