About
JCCSF Swim School offers group swim classes, private and semi-private swim lessons, Parent-Child swim classes, Recreation & Family Swim, Adult Swim, lap swimming, Teen / Adult Beginner and Teen / Adult Advanced swim classes, and a Pre-Swim Team. The swim program is open to kids of all abilities, from first time in the pool to proficient swimmer, and uses progression-based swim levels from Water Babies through Pre-Swim Team. Swim lessons are ongoing rather than fixed sessions, with non-refundable monthly tuition and automatic monthly charges until withdrawal.
• Ages: 0–18 years old
• Schedule: Aquatics Center hours run Monday–Friday from early morning to late evening, with additional hours on weekends, and Recreation & Family Swim, Adult Swim, and lap swimming offered at set times throughout the week.
Class enrollment in lower levels (Water Babies, Level 1, Level 2) is limited to one enrollment per student, and higher levels (Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Pre-Swim Team) are limited to two enrollments per student. The Aquatics team reserves the right to ask students to choose between two active enrollments if program demand changes. Pool capacity is 50 swimmers, with space limited from 5:30 – 7:15 pm. A financial assistance page is available for payment aid options. The Teen / Adult Beginner class requires no prior swimming experience, and the Teen / Adult Advanced class requires students to be comfortable swimming independently underwater.
The Jewish Community Center of San Francisco, which runs JCCSF Swim School, has existed for more than a century and states that it has evolved with the city, embracing its character and energy. Its mission is: “In a changing world, the JCCSF brings people together to explore, connect and flourish. Together, we cultivate connections for a more vibrant community through discovery, well-being and purpose.” It describes itself as an urban and inclusive community center that welcomes everyone and is dedicated to fostering community, health, and learning for people of all ages and backgrounds. It states that it supports communities by welcoming everyone and working together for a better world, and that it practices the Jewish approach to making the world better by helping the people in it be better. The building’s atrium features the Seven Core Values (Sheva Middot) displayed on a 30-foot sculpted wall.
