SKILL BUILDING, FUN, AND FITNESS
Swimming is a lifelong skill that can open the door to many adventures. At the Weinstein JCC and Camp Hilbert pools, safety always comes first for campers and swimmers, along with a friendly and nurturing environment. Our expanded instructional swim program ensures all children gain swimming competence to last a lifetime.
Camp Ganim Swim
Ganim campers who are toilet-trained and at least 3 years old will be able to enjoy weekly swim time with their Ganim classes throughout the summer. Swimmers will be supervised by Red Cross certified JCC lifeguards, swim instructors and their camp counselors. Swim time will be led by JCC swim instructors as a hybrid between swim lessons and free play. This helps our swim program better align with the other camp activities which also promote self-exploration and growth in a safe manner.
The swim instructors will guide the campers as they learn about water safety, various swim lesson tools( such as kick boards, noodles, dive rings, etc.), and various swim skills( such as kicking, scooping arms, going under the water, blowing bubbles etc.). However, the swimmers will have the chance to explore these skills at their own pace in an unstructured manner which helps provide a much more comfortable camp swim experience for each child.
We do offer private and semi-private swim lessons throughout the summer if you’ d like a more structured approach to swim lessons in addition to Ganim swim.
Contact Aquatics Director, Allison Zuchowski, at azuchowski @ weinsteinjcc. org or 804-545-8630 to inquire about getting set up with one of our experienced swim instructors.
