Family Programs
Indoor and Outdoor Pool Open Swim
We reserve lanes in our 25-meter indoor pool all year round for open swim. During the summer, dedicated lanes are available for open swim in our outdoor pool, with family swim every afternoon.
Summer Family Camp
August is the best time to escape for the weekend to our Camp Wise property in Chardon. Activities for the entire family include swimming, lake fun, Shabbat and
Havdalah services, climbing tower and zip-line, sports, and of course campfires and songs.
Fitness and Exercise
Families with children ages 10 and up have access to our indoor track, basketball courts, pickleball courts and racquetball courts. Families with children ages 13 and up has full access to our fitness center. The Youth Personal Training program is available for children ages 10 and older. Please note that children ages 10–12 are restricted from using the private training studio.
American Red Cross Learn to Swim
The J has been a winner of the Northeast Ohio Parent Choice Award for Best Place for Kids' Swim Lessons several years in a row. We offer swim lessons for individuals of all skill levels. For children ages 6-12, our five levels of lessons are based on a logical progression from introduction to water skills and safety to stroke development and deep water swimming/treading water.
Family Fun Day at Camp Wise
Wrap up the summer with an afternoon at Camp Wise in Chardon. Kids of all ages will get in touch with their adventurous side on the high ropes, tubing on the
lake or racing down the pool water slide. Activities include art projects, exploring on our trails and playing Gaga. Family Fun Day 2025 at Camp Wise will be held August 17.
