Friends of the J Swim Lessons

Friends of the J – Learn To Swim at the J!

Because you are a Friend of the J, you have early access to swim lessons. We offer private and group classes for new and experienced swimmers throughout the summer! Private lessons are for ages 3 through adulthood. Group lessons are available for children 6 months and older. If you are interested in semi-private lessons please contact us.

The Kaiserman JCC and our Aquatics programming are generously supported by Aqua, an Essential Utilities Company, and its Aqua Sure Splash program.
