Pool Policies and Information
AQUA BOOT CAMP: This is not your grandma’s workout. This class combines wall exercises, buoyancy equipment, lap swimming and high intensity aqua fitness moves to challenge the heart. Get ready for a challenging calorie burning water workout.
DEEP INTERVALS: Through the use of a flotation belt, this workout uses intervals of work and rest to increase cardiovascular fitness and muscular strength. This class focuses on burning calories and improving your fitness level using timed intervals. It is a challenging workout for both new and seasoned exercisers.
DEEP WATER: Through the use of a flotation belt, this workout includes strength, endurance, range of motion, cardio exercises, and stretching at the end of class. The instructor may also incorporate the use of other equipment for added strength training. A great workout for people who have joint problems.
DIAPERS: Children who are not toilet trained must wear a swim diaper in the pool. These may be purchased at the Member Services desk.
EQUIPMENT: JCC’s kickboards and pull buoys are to be used by lap swimmers and for instructional purposes only. Please help us maintain and preserve our equipment by returning them to the designated shelves.
FLOTATION DEVICES: If a child requires a flotation device to swim, then a responsible adult must be within arm’s reach of the child at all times.
ILLNESS: Any swimmer experiencing illness or recently getting over illness, especially in the case of diarrhea, is asked to refrain from swimming for at least 2 weeks. Failure to do so can cause the spread of dangerous pathogens such as: cryptosporidium, e. coli, giardia, shigella, and norovirus.
LAP SWIM: Lap swimming is considered to be continuous swimming lengthwise, and is available only during designated times. Children may lap swim providing they are adhering to these guidelines and, if necessary, accompanied by a responsible adult.
PERSONAL EXERCISE: Personal exercise is working out in the pool without swimming laps.
Swim lessons or instruction of any kind must be provided by a JCC staff member.
