The pool facilities on both the Owings Mills and Park Heights campuses of the JCC of Greater Baltimore make it possible to provide a wide range of aquatic programming. In both Owings Mills and Park Heights, the indoor pools are open year round for lap swims and classes. At Owings Mills, the Shapiro Recreation Park - our extensive outdoor facility - is open during the summer months. Whether you use the pool for exercise, recreation, or to develop new water skills, the aquatics staff can accommodate your needs.

Parent/Infant Swim classes start for children as young as six months and group swim lessons begin at age four. We also offer swim lessons designed for teens and adults and fitness swim classes for knowledgeable swimmers looking for a challenge.

Lifeguarding skills are taught to children as young as 11 through the American Red Cross GuardStart Program, with Lifeguard Certification Classes available for ages 15+. Courses for other aquatics professions (such as swimming instructor and swim team coach) are also available.

Our Aquatics Department has ventured into many new areas of programming. In addition to adding adult swim lessons and new aqua fitness classes, we have numerous certification courses in everything from CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer to National Swimming Pool Foundation Certified Pool Operator.

The JCC of Greater Baltimore also hosts an American Red Cross National Aquatics School in January, called the Winter Warmup, and in June called the Summer Swimposium.
