After school participants will have the opportunity to swim every Wednesday, year-round. Please remember to send your camper(s) to school with a bathing suit, towel and bag for wet clothing.
In order to ensure that everyone is comfortable and safe in the water, the JEA requires that ALL CAMPERS wear a provided life jacket until they pass a Swim Test. The Swim Test assures that all participants have the ability and confidence in the water and requires that the camper is able to confidently swim (25 feet) independently without the use of a flotation device and tread water for 45 seconds maintaining their head above water.
Once a camper passes the Swim Test they are no longer required to wear a life jacket unless a parent/guardian requests otherwise.
JEA Pools are supervised by trained and certified Lifeguards at all times.
