Our American Red Cross certified swim instructors emphasize safety when in or around the water. Our swim program is a modified version of the American Red Cross &#8220;Learn to Swim&#8221;\u00a0program.<\/p>\n<p>We begin by assessing the skills of each camper for assignment to the appropriate group. Campers develop skills at their own pace in our heated outdoor swimming pool. When they have\u00a0mastered specific skills, they advance to the next swim group.\u00a0Older campers can opt for more challenging activities including Boating Safety, Junior Lifesaving and Advanced Swim Skills. Every camper has a free swim period in the afternoon with our youngest campers enjoying our zero entry pool with mushroom and rainbow spray elements.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/jccpgh.org\/jcc-camps\/james-rachel-levinson-day-camp\/\">J&amp;R Day Camp<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div><!-- EOF wmle_item_holder -->\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div><!-- EOF wmle_item_holder --><pre class='hidden'>\r\n<\/pre>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wmle_item_holder col4\" style=\"display:none;\">\r\n    <div class=\"wmle_item\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t                \r\n                <div class=\"wpme_image\" data-cats=\"\" data-tags=\"children swimming \">\r\n                                        <a data-number='107' href=\"https:\/\/jccpgh.org\/blog\/reasons\/noodling-around\/\">\r\n                                        <img width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/jccpgh.org\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/107.-Noodling-Around-1024x681.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"kids participating in a group activity at J&amp;R Camp\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jccpgh.org\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/107.-Noodling-Around-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jccpgh.org\/app\/uploads\/2015\/11\/107.-Noodling-Around-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>                    <\/a>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                    \t\t    <div class=\"bottom-wrapper\">\r\n                    <div class=\"wmle_post_title\">\r\n                  <h3> <a href=\"https:\/\/jccpgh.org\/blog\/reasons\/noodling-around\/\">107 -
