JCC Dolphins Swim Team 2025

The JCC Dolphins Swim Team is a developmental swim program focusing on fun, fitness, and teamwork.  The program is open to JCC members between the ages of 5 and 18 who can swim 25 yards entirely & independently. 

The team competes in the Greater New Orleans Country Club League (GNOCCSL). It is led by trained, qualified coaches to improve swimmers' competitive skills and build strength and endurance while advancing their swim abilities. 

Swimmers will learn all four strokes—freestyle, butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke—in addition to flip turns and starts. Good sportsmanship and the value of working cooperatively as a member of the Dolphins swim team are all important components of our program.

The season begins mid-May and ends with the GNOCCSL City Championships, typically held the last week in June at the UNO Aquatic Center in the UNO Lakefront Arena.

The cost is $210 per swimmer. 

Registration opens at 9:00 am on Tuesday, May 6th.

To better serve our members and streamline our registration process we encourage all our members to practice logging into their JCC account through nojcc.org prior to May 6th. Failure to confirm login ability and the confirmation that a parent/guardian sees their swimmer/child on their account upon logging in could result in the child losing their swim team spot due to the time and process needed to reset all JCC account login credentials. If you encounter issues logging in to your online member account, please email membership@nojcc.org. Our staff will be happy to help you access your account in time for when registration portal opens. 

Parents meeting:

Uptown - April 30 5:30-6:30pm
Metairie - May 1st 5:30-6:30pm

JCC Membership is required to be eligible to join the Dolphins swim team.
