Swim and Dive Lessons
Swim lessons will help your child (or you) develop overall fitness, strength, coordination, knowledge and understanding of water safety, as well as confidence in and around water. Swim lessons are tailored to fit each individual swimmer’s needs and focus on skills such as treading water, blowing bubbles, and stroke technique.
Swim lessons are in extremely high-demand in Asheville, and the JCC does our best to accommodate as many emerging swimmers as possible. Unfortunately due to the very high demand, we have temporarily discontinued accepting children on our waitlist. At this time, anyone already on our swim lesson waitlist may experience a wait time of three or more years.
Beginning summer 2024, swim lessons will only be available to JCC Annual Members.

Learn to Dive
Cost is determined by the number of weeks in a session. Total will be quoted upon enrollment.
Learn to Dive is a fun and developmental class for ages 5-7 to introduce the fundamental skills of springboard diving. Springboard diving is a unique sport where divers seek to achieve an almost vertical entry into the water. Class focuses on developing a powerful forward and backward jump, moving to different body positions in the air, and safely entering the water feet first or hands first while maintaining proper body alignment. Skills are taught in incremental progressions(mostly pool deck level) via games, challenges, and goals to achieve this development. Participants are required to be strong independent swimmers that can swim 25 yards unassisted.

Private
Cost: $185 for five 30-minute lessons for students of any age
Private swim lessons are designed to meet each individual swimmer’s needs. Schedules are based on teacher, student, and water space availability. Private lesson availability at this time is VERY limited due to the volume of demand and the number of instructors available.
