2
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 smokefree/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,

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-toteacher ratio.

Aquatics Cancellation Policy
Private Lessons Inclement weather/
pool closings before a scheduled
lesson will result in that lesson being
rescheduled at a mutually agreeable
time. If a lesson cannot be made up
within one week of the last scheduled
lesson, that lesson will be forfeited
and charged to the participant. All
participants registered for private
swim 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 nonrefundable and non-transferable.
Group Lessons There are no makeups or refunds for any group lessons
due to illness, inclement weather,
pool closings and vacation or
holiday closings.
Diaper Policy All non-toilet-trained
children are required to wear a swim
diaper and a swimsuit at all times
when in the water.

Adult Tennis Clinics
Now is the perfect time to see if you
have what it takes for competitive
league tennis. Shape up your game
on one of our ladies’ teams or the
working women’s team. We also
have great men’s clinics. If you’re
unsure of your level, schedule a
private lesson for an evaluation.
League play continues through May.
If team play isn’t for you, consider
one of our other clinics to sharpen
your skills. For more information
and program fees, contact Reggie at
reggie.exum@jcajax.org. See you on
the courts!
