Swim Lessons

​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 their 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 in the water, and find comfort in the pool at each child’s 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 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 on improving 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 on refining 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 classes fill quickly and we want to make sure you have the chance to learn to swim! If you have at least three participants of a similar level, 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. To schedule a lesson, contact ​Aquatics Manager, Brandon O'Donnell at 781-476-9912 or bodonnell@jccns.com. All ages and abilities are welcome.
