At the beginning of each 4-week session , campers will be evaluated and placed with their peers of the same swimming ability . For many Ganim swimmers it is their first time in the water . Our goal is to make every child ' s experience a positive one ! At Camp Ganim each swimmer will earn a certificate at the end of the summer highlighting their accomplishments and swim level . The 30-minute instructional swim at Camp Ganim is led by Aquatics Director and Ganim Swim Coordinator Myles Phelps , who is a Certified American Red Cross Lifeguard and Water Safety Instructor .

New campers will be evalu- ated , and their lessons will be based on their swimming ability . Our swim lessons follow the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim levels , the same that are taught at the Weinstein JCC year-round swim program .
