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 kickboards , 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 , Myles Phelps , at mphelps @ weinsteinjcc . org or ( 804 ) 545-8430 to inquire about getting set up with one of our experienced swim instructors .
