JCC Sharks Summer Swim Team
The JCC Sharks Swim Team is open to JCC members, ages 5-18, and is a part of the Greater Omaha Swim League. Our competitive Swim Team is all about learning and having fun. We strive to help kids progress in ability and technique while also focusing on teamwork, leadership, and personal goal setting. Swimmers are encouraged to challenge themselves at practices and meets. All our coaches are experienced swimmers with lifeguard and safety training. Coaches work with swimmers to build endurance as well as team spirit.

High School Swimmers Welcome
High school swimmers who are interested in competing for the Sharks Swim Team at swim meets should contact Aquatics at 402.334.6473 for more information.
Mandatory Parent/Guardian Volunteer Hours & Fee
We rely on parents to volunteer at swim meets. This allows us to keep registration costs down and successfully run events. Parents who volunteer for a total of 4 hours, or an entire swim/dive meet, will not be charged a fee. Parents who fail to meet the required volunteer hours are charged a $75 fee (per family) at
the end of the season.
Swim Test for New Participants
All swimmers new to the JCC Sharks Swim Team are required to take a swim test before their first day of practice to ensure their strength and ability. The swim test consists of a 25 freestyle with side breathing, 25 backstroke, and 25 basic breaststroke. If a preregistered swimmer is unable to complete and/or pass the evaluation, a full refund of the program fees will be credited back to your account.
