The Fastest Way to a Summer-Ready Swimmer

Swimming is one of the most important skills a child can develop for safety, confidence, and a lifetime of enjoyment in the water. But progress in a once-a-week lesson can be slow, especially for kids who are just getting comfortable or trying to break through a plateau.

Swim Intensives at JCC Greater Boston work differently. Using the SwimRight® method we employ at the Lenny Krayzelburg Swim Academy, our daily intensives builds muscle memory faster, help kids overcome hesitation, and create real, visible progress in a short amount of time. Whether your child is brand new to the water or ready to sharpen their strokes, an intensive format gets them there more quickly than a traditional lesson schedule.

Who They're For

This program is open to swimmers of all abilities, including:

  • Beginners building foundational water skills and comfort in the pool
  • Intermediate swimmers working on technique, form, and endurance
  • Advanced swimmers ready to push their performance and stamina

Not sure where your child fits? Our instructors will place them in the right group on the first day.

JCC Swim Intensive Program Highlights

  • Small, ability-based groups for personalized attention
  • Trained LKSA instructors with a proven curriculum
  • Daily repetition for faster, lasting progress
  • Outdoor pool experience to prepare kids for summer
  • Designed for all skill levels
