Aquatics
Learn how to swim at the J.
Our experienced, certified instructors and proven learn-to-swim methods reach nearly 1,000 students every year. JCC MetroWest teaches people of all ages (as young as 6 months) how to be safe and comfortable in and around water, which leads to becoming safer, better swimmers.
Be a lifesaver.
Strong swimmers can earn an American Red Cross Lifeguard certification through our Lifeguard training program. This popular certification is necessary for many aquatics-related positions and recommended for other jobs where water safety is a concern.
Our Pools
25 yard Helen Messing Memorial Pool (graduated depth 3.5 ft. to 9 ft.)

With Clear Comfort, you will notice: fewer chemicals, less skin, and eye irritation, less pool odor, cleaner, clearer, softer feeling water. Learn more about the technology here.
