Summer Swim Lessons
Are now available!

Our Red Cross Certified classes are the best way for your child to learn water safety. With summer starting this week, pool time is inevitable. Sign your kiddos up for lessons at the J and help them stay safe in the water. Our summer swim lesson schedule is up on our site! Three summer sessions are available, with weekday and Sunday classes for all level of swimmer.
Swim with the TigerSharks
Sign your speedy swimmers up for the most fun they'll have in the pool!

The TigerSharks Swim Team is a recreational competition swim team for ages 7 and up. This program will help swimmers to build endurance, muscle strength, and cardiovascular fitness. During swim practices swimmers will consistently be meeting new friends as they advance through the different swim levels. They will learn important swim techniques and life skills with their peers and bond over the shared experience.

Advance Care Planning

You may think of Advance Care Planning as being about death and dying, but it is really about how you want to live in the time you have left. Discussing values, personal preferences, and end-of-life care can provide a shared understanding of what matters most.

No one knows what the future holds, and we cannot control or predict our health. We can plan ahead, share with our loved ones what really matters, and – when that time comes – help make the decisions easier.

Contact Carrie for registration
