Guest Policy
Members may bring only two guests at a time (except for families bringing families)
with no more than three visits in a calendar year. Guests must be accompanied by
a member in good standing. Children who are guests must have an adult present
to sign a waiver and be chaperoned by an adult if under 10. All guest passes must
be purchased at the Reception Desk. Saturday guest passes must be purchased in
advance. All guests must have guest passes. All visitors must present a photo ID.
Guest Pass Fee: Adults: $8 each visit Children/Teens (5 - 18): $4 each visit
Mandatory Swim Assessments
All children 12 and under must complete a 25-yard swim (without touching the
bottom of the pool, grabbing the lane rope, floating on their back or requiring
assistance) on their front (freestyle, breaststroke, etc.) and tread water for 45
seconds. If they pass the test, they are permitted to swim without flotation
and receive a yellow neck band. Swimmers who do not complete the test will
receive a red neck band and be required to wear a lifejacket, have a parent/
guardian in the water within arm’s reach or choose not to swim. The JCA will supply
neckbands to each child, which are to be kept and brought to the pool each time
to swim. Replacement bands are available for $5 each.
Unsupervised Children
The following policies ensure the safety of all JCA members:
•Children 9 years old and under must be under direct supervision (in sight
and within close proximity) by an adult while at the JCA. Children must be
brought to and picked up from class, babysitting or childcare by an adult.
All members age 10 and over entering the JCA must present a membership card.
• Children age 10 and up may be unaccompanied by an adult in the JCA except for
the fitness area where children must be 13 years old to enter. The lobby area,
hallways, other rooms and the courtyard in the JCA are not appropriate spaces.
The JCA cannot be held responsible for members age 10 and over attending the
JCA and not enrolled in an organized activity. In addition, children age 10 and
up are expected to behave in a mature manner when in the building without
parental supervision. Behavior that is disruptive and/or harmful to themselves
or others may result in the suspension of independent privileges.
Food Policy
JCA is a kosher facility. Therefore no deliveries of food of any kind for members
from take-out restaurants will be accepted. Food brought into the building
from home, outside of a JCA program or preschool, must be consumed in either
the courtyard or the outdoor pool area. Thank you for your cooperation.
Fire Alarm Policy
For your safety and welfare, you must evacuate the building when the fire alarm
sounds. You will be notified by JCA personnel when it is safe to return to the
facility. Thank you for your understanding and support.
Cancellation/Expiration Policy for Personal Training,
Private Tennis and Swim Instruction
All participants registered for private tennis, swim or personal training sessions
must give at least a 24-hour notice of cancellation for already scheduled
sessions. Failure to properly cancel will result in a charge for that session at the
established fee. All personal training sessions, private tennis lessons and private
swim lessons will expire six months from the date of purchase. Fees paid for
(expired) sessions/lessons are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Class Payment, Refund and Cancellation Policy
•All class and program fees must be paid before the beginning of the class.
For one-time programs or classes, no refunds will be granted.
•50% refund after first class; 25% refund after second class; no refund after
third class (excludes childcare tuition and summer camp programs).
•Refund policies apply to all private training and lessons.
•The JCA reserves the right to cancel programs/classes not meeting the
minimum required enrollment for circumstances beyond our control.
JCA Member Code of Conduct The JCA is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all members and guests. To promote safety and comfort for all,
we ask individuals to act appropriately at all times when they are in our facility or participating in our programs. We expect persons using the JCA to behave in a considerate and
responsible way and to respect the rights and dignity of other members, guests and staff. Our Code of Conduct outlines actions that are deemed inappropriate. These include
but are not limited to: inappropriate attire–appropriate attire in keeping with the values of the JCA must be worn at all times; angry or vulgar language, including swearing,
name-calling or shouting; physical contact with another person in any angry or threatening way; any demonstration of sexual activity or sexual contact with another person;
harassment or intimidation by words, gestures, body language or any menacing behavior; theft or behavior that results in the destruction of property; carrying or concealing any
weapons or devices or objects that may be used as weapons with the exception of law enforcement professionals; using or possessing illegal chemicals (drugs) on JCA property,
in JCA vehicles or at JCA sponsored programs; using or possessing alcohol on JCA property, in JCA vehicles or at unsanctioned JCA sponsored programs; any other conduct of an
inappropriate, threatening or offensive nature. Loitering is not permitted in or outside the JCA. Use of all tobacco products, smoking (including e-cigarettes) is not permitted
in or outside the JCA. The JCA and its property is a smoke-free/tobacco-free environment. The JCA is dedicated to the enhancement of Jewish identity and the continuity of
Jewish life. A person or persons’ act of proselytizing or teaching of non-Jewish principles in an attempt to convert members or guests is prohibited, and persons engaging in
proselytizing will be required to leave the building and grounds. In addition, the JCA reserves the right to deny access or membership to the following persons: registered sex
offenders; those accused/convicted of sexual abuse crimes; those accused/convicted of crimes relating to the sale/use/possession/transportation of narcotics, habit forming,
and/or dangerous drugs; those excessively or continuously using intoxicating beverages, narcotics, or dangerous drugs. The JCA maintains a no tolerance policy concerning all of
the above. Members and guests are encouraged to be responsible for their personal comfort and safety and to ask any person whose behavior threatens their comfort to refrain
from that behavior. If a member or guest feels uncomfortable in confronting the person directly, they should report the behavior to a staff person or the Manager on Duty. Good
personal hygiene, including the appropriate use of deodorant, is expected as a consideration to other members. JCA staff members are eager to be of assistance. Members and
guests should not hesitate to notify a staff member if assistance is needed. In order to be able to carry out these policies, we ask that members and guests identify themselves
to staff when asked. The Executive Team will investigate all reported incidents. Suspension or termination of JCA membership privileges may result from a determination by the
Executive Team if in their discretion a violation of the JCA Member Code of Conduct has occurred.

Junior Makos This program is designed for children ages 6 to 12 years. Our goal is to help participants achieve
maximum success. Introduction to water skills, fundamental aquatic skills, stroke development, stroke improvement,
stroke refinement and personal water safety are the core topics covered. Classes have a 6:1 student-to-teacher ratio.
Little Makos This program is designed for children ages 3½ to 5 years. Children participate without a parent in
the water, and swimmers are introduced to breath control, arm coordination, kicking and the development of basic
strokes. Classes have a 5:1 student-to-teacher ratio.
Parent and Me This program is to teach you, the parent, how to work safely and effectively with your child,
infant to 3 years old, in the water. The program emphasizes fun and enjoyment, water adjustment and preparatory
activities for future swimming. This program is not designed to teach children to become good swimmers or even to
survive in the water on their own. At least one adult must accompany the child in the pool.
JCA Mini Makos This program is designed for children ages 2 to 3 years. In these 30-minute classes, swimmers
will learn the foundation for water adjustment, floating, breath control, kicking, arm movement and safe entry and
exit of the pool. Children must be able to function in a group lesson without a parent in the water. Classes have a 4:1
student-to-teacher ratio.
