At Oak Crest, situated in 08805, New Jersey, our Learn-to-Swim Program serves as a foundational element of the Oak Crest experience. Our aquatic facility is exceptional, boasting a state-of-the-art 12,000 square foot Aquatic Complex designed specifically for children aged 3 to 8. This Aquatic Complex encompasses water depths ranging from 1 to 6 feet, allowing us to commence instruction in standing-depth water and gradually progress to deeper levels as our young swimmers advance in their skills.

Every morning, our Explorer campers actively participate in a 40-minute swim lesson led by certified swim instructors, with group counselors providing additional support. In the afternoon, the groups return for free swim sessions. Notably, our swim lessons are structured around skill levels rather than age, ensuring that we can appropriately challenge swimmers regardless of their proficiency. Our instructors undergo annual training and draw upon not only the American Red Cross but also over 25 years of practical experience in teaching children how to swim.
