American Red Cross Learn To Swim
The JCC’s aquatics programs are based on the principles and methods established by the American Red Cross which is
progressive; each skill builds on the skills mastered in the previous level. It’s important and necessary to successfully
complete each level in progression. Progress reports are handed out at the end of every session informing parents which skills
were accomplished, which need continued practice, and a recommendation for subsequent enrollment levels. All lessons are
taught in the Peck Aquatic Center on the JCC campus in White昀椀sh Bay. We realize that there are schedule changes and situations that
may cause you or your child to miss a class, but to ensure a quality experience for both your child and the other children in classes, the JCC
does not allow make-up lessons or provide credits or refunds for missed or canceled classes.

First independent swim lesson experience.
Swimmers will learn how to get more comfortable in the water independently. Activities will include submerging the face
(eyes, mouth, nose), blowing bubbles,
昀氀oating on fronts & backs, and exploring
arm movements, including swimming on
front & back with instructor support.
Swimmers in this class must be comfortable putting their heads in the water independently and participating in some swim
skills on their own. Activities will include
learning to 昀氀oat on the front & back, front
& back glides (with minimal instructor assistance) with and without kicking, beginning arm movement of the front & backstroke, jumping into shallow water, and
retrieving a submerged object.
Swimmers in this class must be able to submerge their heads, jump independently
into shallow water, and 昀氀oat independently on their fronts & backs. Activities will
include front & backstroke (arm and leg
action coordinated) independently across
the training pool, and participate in similar
activities in the large pool.
