Our certified instructors are thoroughly trained by a JSplash Master Instructor, must pass comprehensive instructor exams in and out of the water, and are CPR and first aid certified.

The JSplash Swim School begins registration with a free evaluation class to introduce your child to our school and assess their comfort level in the pool. A student can enroll at any time during the year!

Our pricing structure is on a monthly basis that includes 1 lesson per week. For families who are JCC guests, there is a JSplash annual registration fee of $55 for guests/ $20 for members.

One-on-one private lessons are available and recommended primarily for those who have an extreme fear of the water, as well as swimmers who otherwise need special attention. Each class provides the one-on-one instruction needed for the swimmer to excel. To schedule, please contact Svetlana Barker at sbarker@jfedsnj.org at 856-485-9481 X 1144.
