Aquatic Facility & Programs

The Levin JCC has two outdoor swimming pools. We’ve got a five lane 25-yard lap pool with a diving board and handicap accessible entrance ramp. Plus, a family fun pool with a looping slide, beach entry and water features. There is plenty of room for play, as well as classes and activities for the whole family.

Monday-Friday from 7-9am will be designated as adult swim time in the lap pool, with the focus on lap swimming. Morning Water Aerobics may also fall into this time range. Any additional programming that occurs during this time will primarily be for adult participants.

Starting at 9am, there will be an adult swim/pool break every hour for both pools. That means that on the 50th minute of every hour the pool will be cleared for a 10 minute break except for adults, non-walking infants in their parents arms, and youths participating in a JCC program.
