Dear JCC Member,

Walking through the JCC on any given day, you will see members of all ages enjoying your JCC. From the children in the Blaustein Early Childhood Center to the Seniors enjoying a Kosher nutritional lunch, and everyone in between…the JCC truly has something for everyone. We pride ourselves on the welcoming, family atmosphere of our JCC and for creating a “home away from home” for so many in the tri-county area.

While it is easy to believe that our membership fees alone allow our JCC to operate, this is not the case. The JCC’s Annual Campaign raises funds that directly influence all facets of our JCC’s operations. We are asking for your help so that we can con-tinue to provide the programs and services essential to those in our very own com-munity. You might not realize that there are many people in our area who are in true need of financial assistance. In order to help them, we depend on our community members to donate to the JCC Annual Campaign, which supports our Scholarship Fund. The Fund supports children so that they can attend the Blaustein Early Child-hood Center and JCC Camp Ruach. In addition, the Scholarship Fund supports se-niors in our community living on a limited income by providing a Kosher, nutritional lunch and an opportunity to exercise and socialize. The JCC also awards scholarship assistance for membership to individuals with disabilities and special needs. Since we opened our doors in 1999, the JCC has allocated more than $1 million in scholar-ship assistance to individuals and families right here in our own community. This has been made possible with your financial support. We are asking for your help so that the JCC can continue to make a difference in people’s lives.

The importance of giving to our JCC’s Annual Campaign is clear. We are asking everyone to donate. Please give what you can. Your donation will play a vital role in the successful operations of our JCC. Next time you walk through the JCC and notice the energy, enthusiasm, and smiles, you will know that your contributions are making a difference.

Thank you in advance for your donations.

The JCC Bridgewater Tide is competitive, year round swim team that competes in local, state and national USA Swimming meets. The Tide provides instruction and training to a variety of skill levels for athletes aged 6-18. One of only a few teams in the nation that has two Level 5 ASCA coaches, the Tide program focuses on all facets of the athletes’ development, from improving technique and speed to good sportsmanship, work ethic and nutrition. The National and Gold practice groups are by invitation only and require complete commitment by the swimmers. Swimmers in National and Gold will train 6-7 times a week, with intense workouts that focus on stroke refinement, speed, endurance and race strategy. Diamond is our transitional group that prepares swimmers for possible placement in Gold or National and gives the swimmers the foundations needed for senior level swimming. The Tidal Waves, Bronze and Silver groups practice 3-4 days a week and focus on the fundamentals of the four competitive strokes. In addition to working on technique, the age group swimmers will also begin to develop speed and sound racing strategies. All swimmers are expected to compete in USA Swimming meets approximately one weekend a month.

AQUATICS

INFANT/TODDLER COURSES

Aquatots IAges 6 months-18 months

A fun introduction to the water for infants beyond the bathtub! Songs and activities help to develop basic arm and leg movements as well as learning to be comfortable getting their faces and bodies wet. Water safety and fun is also stressed. A swim diaper and rubber pants are required under the child’s swimsuit.

Aquatots IIAges 18 months to 3 years old

For those little swimmers who are already comfortable in the water! Songs and activities help infants and toddlers further gain confidence and practice their budding basic swimming skills. Starfish skills are introduced and children begin to work more with the instructor to get prepared to move to the next level of swimming and rely less on Mommy and Daddy’s help. A swim diaper and rubber pants are required under a child’s swimsuit.

Little StarfishAges 2 and a half - 3 and a half

This course is for those little ones who can’t wait to put their faces in the water and splash around but aren’t quite ready to leave Mommy and Daddy and move onto Starfish. This course will teach all of the Starfish skills with the comfort of their parents or adult friend in the water to help them explore the fun world of the pool. Emphasis will be placed on transitioning toddlers from parents to instructor and gaining confidence with their independence in the water.

Proper Supervision...is more than the lifeguards’ responsibility:

Children ages 4 and younger MUST have an adult within arm’s length of them at all times. Children ages 7-11 are permitted in the pool provided that a parent remains in the pool area. Children ages 12 and up are permitted to be alone in the facility. Thank you for helping us keep our pools safe and secure.

Choosing the Right Swim Class/LevelIf you are unsure of a child’s level, you can bring your swimmer in to be tested or contact the Aquatics Director for questions. An in-person evaluation will ensure that your child will be in the correct class. It only takes a few minutes for an instructor to evaluate a swimmer’s level. Call the Aquatics office for more information or to schedule an appointment to start your swimmer off with the correct class this session.

Observation of LessonsWhile we recognize that parents are as thrilled about the progress of their children as the students are, we respectfully ask that parents remain seated on the 6 foot side of the pool bleachers for the duration of your child’s lesson. Unless specified (such as a parent/child swim class) parents are not permitted in the water with their children as this is a distraction to the group as a whole. Thank you for your cooperation.

Make Up PolicyGroup swim classes at the Bridgewater JCC enjoy a limited four student to one instructor ratio. Because of this ratio classes fill up quickly leaving not much option for a make-up class. In order to be considered for a make up class, a doctor’s note must be given to the Aquatics Office. The Aquatics Department cannot guarantee that a makeup class will be available, however every effort will be made to accommodate the need of the individual and that there is space in the class desired.

One makeup class per calendar year is permitted.

Course Materials All class fees include the costs of course materials such as books, pocket masks and certification cards. All materials are distributed on the first day of the class; however, you can have your materials sent to you prior to the start of the course for an additional fee of $15. If you would like this option, please indicate so at the time of registration. All materials must be returned UNMARKED in order to receive a full refund, otherwise you will be charged for the course materials.

Pretests Some American Red Cross courses such as the Lifeguard Training and WSI courses, require a pretest as part of the course. These pretests typically take place the first scheduled day of the course. Students should check with the Aquatics office to find out the exact time and location of their pretest. Please remember this pretest is MANDATORY and failure to attend will result in a failure of the course with NO refund.

Proof of Age The American Red Cross mandates that candidates show valid proof of age by the second class meeting for those courses that have minimum age requirements. We are not permitted to waive the minimum age requirements for any of our training courses.

Certification/Completion of Course Although our goal as instructors is to help students successfully complete their certification goals, students are sometimes not able to adequately complete the stated requirements for the course. Payment of the course fee and participation in class does not guarantee certification; students must successfully complete all course objectives in order to be certified.

If you and/or your child have questions or concerns regarding your/their ability to pass this course, please contact the Aquatics Department PRIOR to registering.

JCC Banner Sponsorship Program

Tribute CardsSupport the JCC…To Honor and Remember Your Family, Friends and Life Events.

The JCC sponsors a host of fundraising events throughout the year that benefit The JCC Scholarship Fund. We ask you to support the Scholarship Fund by purchasing a Big Raffle ticket, sponsor a tee at the Golf Outing, sponsor a table at our Texas Hold’em and/ or place an ad in our Journal. Some of you unfamiliar with the Scholarship Fund may ask… “What is the JCC Scholarship Fund? How does it help the community? And… why should I contribute?” We would like to take this opportunity to tell you about the JCC Scholarship Fund and how it helps our members and our community.

Part of the JCC’s mission is to provide programs and services regardless of someone’s ability to pay. We have a process whereby individuals or families experiencing financial difficulties can apply to the JCC for financial assistance for preschool, camp or membership. In 2012, the JCC awarded more than $210,000 in scholarship assistance to individuals and families in need so that they can participate in activities, attend the Blaustein Early Childhood Center and JCC Camp Ruach. Over 1 million in scholarships given out over the last 14 years. The JCC Camp and Preschool Scholarship Program makes it possible for youngsters to participate in JCC activities that they could not otherwise afford. Funds also support services to seniors including a hot lunch, exercise, entertainment and socialization. Scholarship assistance is provided to all who demonstrate financial need, regardless of race, creed, or color.

We hope this provides you with a better understanding of the important role the JCC Scholarship Fund plays in our community, and how simply purchas-ing a Raffle Ticket can help us fulfill our mission. If you have any questions or would like to make a donation to the JCC Scholarship Fund, please contact Laura Friedman, JCC Executive Director at 908-725-6994 x213; [email protected] or mail a check to the “JCC”.
