J-Rays
Swim School!
This comprehensive, year-round swim school is the
latest edition to The J’s Aquatics Program. Created
by The J’s new Aquatics Director and Head Swim Coach,
Brandon Rannebarger, the school will work primarily with children,
from toddlers (36 months) to 14-year-olds, and will offer a Parents & Me program
that will help educate parents about safety floating and water fun!
The new J-Rays Swim School uses a step-by-step lesson plan to develop a
swimmer's skills. The curriculum is built around constructive play and skill
progressions that are built for children of all ages and skill levels. And if that weren't
enough, ECE, Camp 365 and other programs within The J will be enrolled into the
swim school. Being a member and having your child enrolled in our ECE programs
provides exceptional benefits and unmatched child care.
The first Summer Session will run July 9 – 31 and August 5 – 8 and will be held once
a week between 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The Fall
Session will run September 6 – November 18, once a week between 10 a.m. and 4
p.m. There will also be a Fast Track program that will run twice a week on Tuesdays
and Thursdays between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Life-long
in th
Rannebarger states, “Drowning is the leading cause of death of children under
12 years of age! Parents need to get their child into a good swim lesson program.
With the small class size, professional staff and constructive play curriculum your
swimmer will learn more quickly and have fun doing it. We also have two competitive
swim teams for all level of swimmers. I can’t say enough about the value of getting
your child involved in sports and the lifelong learning lessons sports provide. I’m
really happy to help The J build these types of programs which will help children and
the Tucson community.”
“We are thrilled to be growing our aquatics programming here at The J. The J-Rays
Swim School is a great addition to our successful Stingrays swim team. Future plans
include additional aquatic classes for adults and older children with both recreational
and fitness goals in mind,” adds Denise Wolf, Vice President/COO at The J.
