Our aquatics center features a 6-lane/25 yard-pool. The pool is generally separated with 3 lanes for our lap swimmers and the other half for classes, exercises, and general swimming. Our center provides a swimming experience for all types of swimmers and people who enjoy water exercises. We offer American Red Cross swim classes, water exercises, swim teams, private lessons, and much more!

The Benefits of JCC Swim Lessons for Kids
Our swim classes are a great way to build social and lifesaving skills. Swimming helps to build muscle tone and motor skills and helps with sensory issues. Swim classes will help your child become comfortable with water in a fun-filled environment with their peers.

Why Aquatic Exercise is Important for Adults
Adult aquatic exercise is an important part of life for social, physical, and emotional well-being. Water fitness is an exercise that minimally impacts joints and allows persons with physical constraints to exercise. Workout with like-minded individuals with enthusiastic instructors. Feel stronger and more energetic!


The Friedberg JCC Swim Academy

Our American Red Cross Learn-to-swim program offers swim classes for all ages. Private, semi-private, and create-your-own courses are specifically designed for your child. Our swim team is an excellent place for your child to continue progressing with swimming and learning more about competitive strokes, starts, turns, and finishes.

Look for a class that fits you or your child. We’ve got them all!


The Waves Competitive Swim Team

This is a pre-swim team for swimmers who are not old enough for the competitive team. Swimmers must be able to complete one length of the pool. Skills taught: Front crawl, breaststroke, backstroke, and butterfly.
