Exercise using the natural resistance of water is effective for people of all fitness levels, and an especially good alternative for those with joint problems that make land exercise difficult. JCC offers a variety of group water exercise classes and JCC members can take advantage of open lap swimming times.

Early Bird Lap Swim

These designated times are for lap swimmers only. Lifeguards monitor swimming speeds and may coordinate swimmers and lanes. Water walking and Aquacize is limited by space availability during these hours.
Schedules are available at the front desk.

General Lap Swim

There is at least one lap lane available during all open BWJCC hours.

500 Mile Club

The 500 Mile Club is an ongoing program for those who can swim up to the challenge! Place your name on the 500 Mile Club grid sheet located on the east wall of the pool. After each workout, record the number of laps and watch the miles accumulate. Ask the lifeguard how to get started. Awards are given to swimmers who go the distance!

Family Swim

Looking for something fun to do with your family? Join us for Family Swim! In addition to great exercise, Family Swim gives you an opportunity to socialize and meet other members. Flotation toys are available upon request. Children must be 10 years of age to swim without parent supervision. Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult age 16 or older on deck at all times. Non-swimmers must have adult supervision in the water at all times. The lifeguard on duty will enforce these rules. Swim schedules are available at the front desk.
