Swimming is a lifelong skill that can open the door to many adventures.
At the Weinstein JCC and Camp Hilbert pools, safety always comes first for
campers and swimmers, along with a friendly and nurturing environment.
Our expanded instructional swim program ensures all children gain swim-
ming competence to last a lifetime. Our staff evaluates each swimmer and
places him or her with campers of their same swim level. As the summer
progresses,the campers attain new skills and move up to the next level to
gain confidence in all areas of swimming.

Aquatics Leadership:
camp GANIM instructional swim
At the beginning of the 4-week session, campers who are successfully
toilet-trained and 3-years-old will be evaluated and placed with their peers
of the same swimming ability. For many Ganim swimmers it is their first
time in the water. Our goal is to make every child's experience a positive
one! At Camp Ganim each swimmer will earn a certificate at the end of
each session highlighting their accomplishments and swim level. The
30-minute instructional swim at Camp Ganim is led by Aquatics Director
and Ganim Swim Coordinator Myles Phelps, who is an American Red Cross
Water Safety & Lifeguard Instructor and Certified Pool Operator .

camp hilbert instructional AND FREE swim
Camp Hilbert campers swim twice a day for 45 minutes: free swim or
instructional swim (grades K-4) in the morning, and free swim in the after-
noon. At the beginning of each week, new campers will be evaluated and
placed with their peers of the same swimming ability. Our swim lessons
follow the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim levels, the same that are
taught at the Weinstein JCC year-round swim program. There are six differ-
ent levels, ranging from introduction to water skills, fundamentals, stroke
development and improvement to swimming and skill proficiency.
(See page 6 for new information on swimming for our older campers.)
