Dear JCC Members and Friends, You have probably noticed a flurry of activity around the JCC…both inside and out! We are thrilled to have begun the site work for the dome over the outdoor pool. The outdoor work is being done in advance of the summer swim club and camp season and the dome itself will be in place after the summer. In addition, we have a new gymnasium roof. We want to thank our lay leadership for all of the time and effort they have devoted to expanding and maintaining our JCC. We also thank everyone who has contributed to the Swim & Trim Campaign.

After a very mild winter, we are all enjoying an early Spring and the exciting activities and celebrations the next few months hold. The JCC is holding a Yom Ha’atzmaut Family celebration on April 26 featuring a sing-along with Yossi and arts & crafts. The event in celebration of Israel’s Independence Day is free to all! Come celebrate Israel with your friends at the JCC! Our holiday celebrations continue with Lag B’Omer and Shavuot (please see details on all of these events on Page 7 of this Guide.) We hope you will be part of the community delegation to the Israel Day Parade on Sunday, June 3. (More details to come!)

In addition to our extensive lineup of Fitness Classes and Aquatics offerings, there are a host of educational and enrichment classes for everyone! Please take the time to look through our Spring Guide so that you can participate in the wide variety of offerings.

There are a number of special events coming up, including our first Mah Jongg Tournament (April 22), Texas Hold’em in Hunterdon County (April 26 in Oldwick) and our 11th Annual Golf Outing (June 18 at Raritan Valley Country Club). Our Big Raffle is on sale and winners will be drawn at the Golf Outing. Please purchase a ticket…you can be a winner of three fabulous prizes! The JCC enjoys planning our fundraising activities and events for proceeds that benefit The JCC Scholarship Fund. By supporting the Scholarship Fund you help send a child to our preschool or camp and to enable a child with special needs to be served in these programs as well. The Scholarship Fund also supports our Senior Nutritional Program, which services hundreds of seniors throughout the year.

Thank you for being part of our JCC!

TWEENS – Grades 5-8 NOTE FROM JAMIE LEVIN TWEEN COORDINATOR As spring is upon us, we are committed to providing another fun filled season of indoor and outdoor events/activities for families, tweens and teens alike. These events offer family time, kid time and kid free “date nights” for parents. Yes, we are thinking about the needs of everyone! Saturday “date nights” for parents - drop the kids off for a few hours of alone time.

One important request is to RSVP before the actual event as some of the programs require significant set up time, planning, as well as a financial commitment. Knowing numbers helps us prepare and insure appropriate amounts of food/snacks etc., and a well executed program.

Jewish LIFE Felice Cohen Community-Wide Yom Hashoah Program What Papa Told Me Thursday, April 19 • 7:00 PM Hosted by Temple Beth El, Somerset

Anat Hoffman Executive Director Israeli Religious Action Center(IRAC) Saturday, April 21 • 1:00 PM Hosted by Temple Beth-El, Hillsborough

Felice Cohen wrote this novel through the perspective of a granddaughter whose grandparents were in the Holocaust. The inspiring story is of Murray Schwartzbaum, whose courage and sheer will helped him survive in eight different labor and concentration camps. In his later years, he moved to America and created a life for himself with a career and a family. It’s a complete life story from before, during, and after World War II.

Anat Hoffman became Executive Director of the Israel Religious Action Center in April 2002. Previously, Ms. Hoffman served as a Jerusalem City Councilwoman for 14 years, carving out a niche for herself as an untiring warrior for justice and equality. She has dedicated her adult life to the Jewish principle of tikkun olam. It is this commitment to social action and justice that has formed her career.

If you are unsure of a child’s level, you can bring your swimmer in to be tested or contact the Aquatics Director for questions. An in-person evaluation will ensure that your child will be in the correct class. It only takes a few minutes for an instructor to evaluate a swimmer’s level. Call the Aquatics office for more information or to schedule an appointment to start your swimmer off with the correct class this session.

Ages 18 months to 3 years old

Observation of Lessons

For those little swimmers who are already comfortable in the water! Songs and activities help infants and toddlers further gain confidence and practice their budding basic swimming skills. Starfish skills are introduced and children begin to work more with the instructor to get prepared to move to the next level of swimming and rely less on Mommy and Daddy’s help. A swim diaper and rubber pants are required under a child’s swimsuit.

While we recognize that parents are as thrilled about the progress of their children as the students are, we respectfully ask that parents remain seated on the 6 foot side of the pool bleachers for the duration of your child’s lesson.

Unless specified (such as a parent/child swim class) parents are not permitted in the water with their children as this is a distraction to the group as a whole. Thank you for your cooperation.

Group swim classes at the Bridgewater JCC enjoy a limited four student to one instructor ratio.

Because of this ratio classes fill up quickly leaving not much option for a makeup class. In order to be considered for a make up class, a doctor’s note must be given to the Aquatics Office. The Aquatics Department cannot guarantee that a makeup class will be available, however every effort will be made to accommodate the need of the individual and that there is space in the class desired.

If you would like this option, please indicate so at the time of registration. All materials must be returned UNMARKED in order to receive a full refund, otherwise you will be charged for the course materials.

Pretests Some American Red Cross courses such as the Lifeguard Training and WSI courses, require a pretest as part of the course. These pretests typically take place the first scheduled day of the course. Students should check with the Aquatics office to find out the exact time and location of their pretest. Please remember this pretest is MANDATORY and failure to attend will result in a failure of the course with NO refund.

Proof of Age The American Red Cross mandates that candidates show valid proof of age by the second class meeting for those courses that have minimum age requirements. We are not permitted to waive the minimum age requirements for any of our training courses.

Certification/Completion of Course

Although our goal as instructors is to help students successfully complete their certification goals, students are sometimes not able to adequately complete the stated requirements for the course. Payment of the course fee and participation in class does not guarantee certification; students must successfully complete all course objectives in order to be certified.

If you and/or your child have questions or concerns regarding your/their ability to pass this course, please contact the Aquatics Department PRIOR to registering.

AQUATICS TRAINING SCHOOL CPR/AED For Lifeguards Challenge This course allows for lifeguards to challenge written and physical skills for CPR/AED for Lifeguards.
