Aquatics

The Sabes JCC Aquatics staff are here to make your experience an exceptional one. The Barbara Ziman-Pentelovitch Indoor Pool has five lanes, as well as a ten foot deep end. Whether you want to swim laps, play with the kids, or just float around, this pool is the one for you. And if your just shy of three feet tall, Grandma Lisette’s Wading Pool, located just off the shallow end of the indoor pool, has you covered. In the warmer months the Numero-Steinfeldt Outdoor Pool Complex offers many of the same amenities with the added excitement of a diving board and waterslide. If you should happen to find yourself famished or parched while taking in the sun, our concession stand has a variety of tasty summer treats to keep you satisfied. So stop by and jump in for some great aquatics fun!

If it’s water education or fitness that you’re after, the Sabes JCC offers a variety of classes for all ages and abilities. We offer group classes, as well as private and semi-private classes with one-on-one instruction from our certified Water Safety Instructors and Water Safety Aides. Most water exercise classes for adults are free with membership.

New Sabes JCC Swim Academy

The new Sabes JCC Swim Academy introduces the Aquatics Concepts curriculum, delivering not only quality swimming instruction, but a fun and exciting experience for all ages.

What’s new and different about this program?

Small class size = greater attention
Unlike typical swimming lessons, the Swim Academy classes never have more than four or five swimming students. This allows for greater individualized attention and safety for participants.

Specialized levels = greater success
Levels begin with infants and go through adults. Each level has a specific set of skills that are taught, and the skills are practiced each time the swimmers get in the water. Students are able to master the building blocks of swimming faster; practicing the same skills each time they come to swim.

Creative tools = greater fun
The Swim Academy uses age-appropriate games, songs and teaching techniques to ensure that everyone enjoys their lesson and leaves the pool with a satisfying sense of accomplishment.

Classes are offered throughout the week, so you can pick one that best fits your schedule.

Sabes Swim Academy Testimonials of Success and Satisfaction

Gary has three children participating in Log Rolling and Swim Lessons:
“The JCC swim program hasbeen a great swimming experiencefor my children. We have previously used Foss Swim School and Martha-------. My children really enjoyed the teachers and the facility. I appreciated the flexibility of Elliot Kohl with scheduling. We are planning to continue with the JCC program this winter.” Gary Berman, M.D.

Joely is a member of the swim team, and her mother had this to say: “Wow, thank you so much for sharing! I have been out of town all week traveling for work and when I came home last night Joely couldn't wait to share her goal note with me. She was so proud of herself and we were so proud and amazed at what she accomplished!!!! I am really impressed with how hard the kids are working and how much they have been accomplishing this season. As you're aware, I am unable to come to practices or pick up Joley to get updates as I'm working but I really appreciate you taking the time to share with me her progress and share with her what a great accomplishment this is. Thanks again!!!!” Lisa Gendler

Peggy Mandel’s girls Margo and Aleeza participate in the Log Rolling Program: “When the girls first took log rolling, the first thing they asked me when they got home was when can they sign up again for the next session. The night before log rolling they pack up their things and can’t wait until school is done to jump on the log and get rolling. We love this program!” Peggy Mandel

Sabes Swim Club (formerly Sabes Stars Swim Team)

The Sabes JCC is the home of the Sabes Rays Swim Club. We are a member of the USA swimming organization. The Rays are a precompetitive/competitive organization specifically designed for ages 5–18. Currently, we have two different levels of swimming, Rays I and Rays II. Each group has a designated practice/instruction schedule.

Rays I
Our pre-competitive group meets from 4:45–5:45 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. These swimmers are typically between the ages of 5 and 9. This practice is dedicated to teaching swimmers all about the sport of swimming. We will work on all four competitive strokes, refining them using drills and other techniques. Swimmers will also work on other skills related to swimming such as starts from the blocks, flip turns, streamlines, and much more. This practice will swim around 1,000 yards each time we meet, but the focus is primarily on skill acquisition not distance. If you have a child who is interested in the sport of swimming and wants to get involved, come join us in the pool!

**Swimming Ability Requirement First Practice: Swimmers must beable to swim front crawl comfortably for 25 yards (one length), and back crawl comfortably for 25 yards.

Rays II
Our competitive group meets from 5:45–6:45 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. These swimmers are typically 9 and older, and include junior and high school kids with an interest in keeping in shape during the off junior and high school off season. This group will focus on refining strokes as well, but also beginning to build endurance and strength. A typical practice is between 1,500 and 3,000 yards. We work on all aspects of swimming, incorporating into our practices distance work, sprints, starts turns, skill drills, and much more. If you have a child who is ready to take swimming to the sport level; who is interested in competing, this is the practice to join.

**Swimming Ability Second Practice: All swimmers interested in Rays II must be promoted from the Rays I program or may go directly to Rays II with coaches’ approval. To start in Rays II, swimmers must be able to swim 50 yards front crawl in one minute or less, and demonstrate a moderate level of proficiency in backstroke. Some cursory knowledge of breast stroke and butterfly required. Swimmer must demonstrate a willingness to work hard and take on challenging workouts, as well as stay focused during practice.

Sabes Rays Swim Club is a member of USA Swimming and Minnesota Swimming. Rays I and II will have the opportunity to compete in swim meets throughout the season. Membership in USA Swimming is required to participate in swim meets. Participation in swim meets in not required, but is strongly encouraged.
