Swimming

The JCC on the Upper West Side is home to two beautiful pools, a 25-meter heated lap lane pool and an adjustable-depth training pool with UV filtration and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The JCC Swim School welcomes swimmers of all abilities with the goal of creating water-safe, capable, and confident swimmers taught by our top-notch team of nurturing, creative and experienced instructors. From parent and child classes starting at 6 months old to drop-off classes for children 2.5-14 years old, as well as classes for adults, and private lessons for swimmers of all ages. The JCC Swim School can meet every need. We provide our families with a warm, personalized experience and empower our swimmers to become brave and strong in the water as well as enabling a lifelong love of aquatics!

Aquatics Code of Conduct

At the JCC we are committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment in which we take responsibility for each other and are mutually dedicated to the well-being of our community.

We foster an environment of safety and respect in which our staff, members, and our program participants feel safe and comfortable. In a desire to provide a safe, enjoyable and welcoming facility for all our patrons and staff, we expect everyone to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with their level of development and maturity with consideration for the rights and welfare of every individual within the JCC community. Additionally, language that is dismissive or disrespectful, such as the use of profanity or slurs, the use of inappropriate pronouns, or other language with the purpose of demeaning or marginalizing members of a group, is not tolerated. Such incidents tear at the fabric of our diverse, inclusive, tolerant, and caring community.

In addition, please note that feedback regarding JCC programs, instructors and facilities is always welcome through the proper designated channels of JCC aquatics management. However, the JCC is not at liberty to discuss certain matters pertaining to staffing and operations with members of the community in order to uphold the full extent of HR and employment policies. We ask that you refrain from seeking protected information about staff and trust that the JCC takes community feedback offered to our management team seriously, while ensuring every program runs safely and smoothly.

The JCC reserves the right to have an individual removed from the facility, and/or to suspend or revoke membership or program participation privileges to anyone who displays the above-mentioned inappropriate and harmful behavior toward staff, fellow members, or program participants. Thank you for your role in creating a values-driven and welcoming community for all.
