AT Camp GANIM: CLAMS (Preschool Level 1) Beginner MINNOWS Camp Aquatics Skillbuilding, 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 swim- ming competence to last a lifetime. Our staff evaluates each swimmer and places him or her with campers of their same swim level. As the summer progresses, the campers attain new skills and move up to the next level to gain confidence in all areas of swimming.
