Swim Safety with Little Ones in the JCC Pools
Our standard for children swimming alone is to be able to successfully swim from the shallow end (stairs to 4ft), and tread for 30 seconds. If children cannot meet that requirement, they must be within arm’s reach of their parent/guardian. 

This policy stands true even with the use of floaties/life vests; parent/guardian must be within arm’s reach at all times.
