Karishim Swim Team
We’re a year-round competitive team with a supportive community of athletes, providing a safe and friendly environment for swimmers to grow, make lasting friendships, and reach their full potential in the pool.
We’re About Camaraderie, Teamwork, and…Swimming!
Dive into Karishim Swim Club! We’re a year-round competitive team for kids ages 6-18. Karishim (Sharks, in Hebrew) participates in USA Swimming sanctioned meets under the supervision of certified coaches. Swim groups are led by experienced USA-certified swim coaches in a low coach-to-swimmer ratio setting, ensuring that swimmers benefit from individualized attention.
We meet multiple times a week (total number of required practices depend on team grouping), with in-pool and dryland practices held at the Leventhal-Sidman JCC. Swimmers are offered the chance to participate in a wide range of local competitive programs each season.
How It Works
Karishim Swim Club is skill-based, rather than age-based. Following a tryout, swimmers are placed into a swim group based on their skill level.
- To schedule a tryout, call us at 617.558.6490, or email karishim@jccgb.org.
- A JCC membership is required to join the swim team.
