JFD Programs
swim team
The heart of JFD is our swim team, which competes from September through July. Our coaches work with swimmers to improve their times in competitive swimming and prepare them for competition.
swim Lessons
The JFD swim lesson program offers instruction to non-swimmers of all ages. We utilize the SwimAmerica Learn to Swim program, designed by the American Swim Coaches Association (ASCA) to motivate and reward each swimmer as their skills improve.
Stroke Clinics
JFD stroke clinics are for athletes who want to focus on refining their swimming technique. Many of our participants are preparing for summer league swimming, are working on specific aspects of their strokes for time reduction, or who are interested in swimming for fitness.
Coaches Training
JFD runs a comprehensive program that trains coaches of all ages how to use the SwimAmerica Learn to Swim methodology. JFD also employs many of these coaches to provide lesson and stroke clinic instruction.
