Team Information

 


 
  General  

The JCC Waves Swim Team meets daily Monday-Friday and Sundays (for certain groups). The team is designed to bring kids up to a competitive level, whether it is for age group swimming or high school swimming. Depending on ability levels, swimmers will meet for times ranging from 45 min to 2.5 hours. All groups will have instruction in stroke technique, stamina building, and will be immersed in a positive atmosphere in which they can grow and improve.
