Kids Swim Lessons
J Swim Academy combines the best of both Red Cross Swim Lessons and Swim America. We emphasize early water safety and proper USA swimming stroke progressions and guidelines while maintaining a focus on providing an inclusive and safe environment, taught by experienced instructors. Our swim levels progress from water comfort to water safety with the end goal of proper stroke technique in all four strokes, starts, and turns.

We are currently not offering group swim lessons. However, private and semi-private swim lessons are the perfect answer for participants who do not feel comfortable in group lessons, or those wanting a little extra attention on specific skills.
Private and Semi-Private swim lessons are scheduled for your convenience, and you can focus your lesson on what you want to learn.
If you have 3-4 children that want to do a lesson together, we can put together a Create-A-Class. You choose the children so you feel comfortable with everyone in the group. 3 children minimum and 4 children maximum.
All instructors wear a face shield and we follow all CDC and Board of Health Covid-19 Regulations and Protocols.
For more information or to register for private or semi-private lessons, please contact the Aquatics Department at JSwimAcademy@jccns.com.
We will contact you to within one business day to discuss your availability and help find the best instructor for your needs.
This may be your little one’s exciting first dip into the pool and we aim to make it special for everyone involved! Parents bring children (ages 6 months to 3 years) into the pool for a fun lesson with one of our experienced instructors. We’ll sing songs, dance and splash in the water, and while finding comfort in the pool at each child’s individual pace.
Swim diapers are required.
Beginner swimmers learn basic swimming skills in this fun-focused class. We’ll practice blowing bubbles, floating, and kicking. The goal of this level is to get comfortable in the water and learn to enjoy swim!
Swimmers learn to swim independently in front crawl (with beginner rotary breathing) and beginner back crawl. Participants will also be introduced to proper breast stroke arm motion.
Minimum Requirements: Ability to swim 5-yards independently in front crawl, float, and blow bubbles.
Swimmers work to improve front crawl and back crawl stroke technique. Participants will be introduced to kneeling dives and standing dives, breaststroke and dolphin kick.
Minimum Requirements: Ability to swim 10-yards with face in the water and stream-line on back for 5-10 yards.
Swimmers work to refine their strokes, while also learning important water and boating safety. We will achieve basic requirements making these swimmers eligible for most sailing camps, including swimming 100-yards freestyle, treading water for two minutes, floating in the prone position for two minutes, and basic boating safety.
Minimum Requirements: Ability to swim 25-yards freestyle, 25-yards backstroke, beginner breaststroke and dolphin kick.
Swimmers will continue to refine their swim technique, working toward four legal strokes, starts, and turns. Goals for Advanced Swim Techniques participants will be to complete a 100-Individual Medley and 200-Freestyle, the entrance requirements for USA C.
Our aquatics classes fill quickly and we want to make sure everyone has the chance to learn to swim! In these Create-A-Swim-Classes, you provide at least three participants of a similar level and we will find you an instructor, date and time in the pool for your lessons! These lessons are $14 per participant for JCCNS members and $16 per participant for non-members.
