The JCC Aquatics Center offers year-round aquatics programming, including swim team, swim lessons, lap swimming, water fitness and recreational swimming. The David Zimerman Pool has a retractable cover, making it possible to swim outdoors during summer months and indoors during colder months. Our heated, handicapped accessible, 6-lane, 25- yard chlorinated pool features the only 1-meter competition-grade Duraflex diving board in Asheville. The depth of water begins with a 3 feet 6 inch shallow end and increases to 12 feet in the deep end. The JCC Aquatics Center is equipped with men’s and women’s restroom/changing rooms that include handicapped accessible hot showers and lockers, in addition to a non-gender family restroom/changing room. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, pool members have access to the Pearlman-Rothman Family Plaza that includes an outdoor pavilion with gas grills and zero entry baby pool with splash pad, along with additional picnic space and a wall ball court.

Summer Pool Membership at the JCC:
Thank you for helping to make summer 2020 great, despite the scheduling and social distancing challenges! We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we navigated an unusual summer season. Details about 2021 summer pool memberships will be published in the spring of 2021.
The JCC Aquatics Center & Zimerman Pool is located at 40 Clyde Street. Questions? Email wendy@jcc-asheville.org for more information.
*The enclosure on the JCC’s David Zimerman pool that allows us to offer year-round aquatics programming was made possible by an incredibly generous donation on behalf of the Asheville High School Swim & Dive Team. As such, the JCC pool is Asheville High School’s home pool, for which they have exclusive use 90 minutes a day on weekday evenings during the high school swim season (November 1 – February 15).
