The JCC offers something for members of every age and experience level including swim lessons, a youth swim team, low-impact water aerobics, and lap swimming. We are fortunate to have both an indoor and outdoor pool at our facility. The indoor pool is 25 yards long and kept at 82-84 degrees and our outdoor pool is 25 meters long and kept at a slightly warmer temperature of 84-86 degrees. For any questions regarding our pools or swim lessons, you may contact our Aquatics Department at .
