About Us
Jersey Area Multisport is a direct descendent of the Jersey Area Masters Swim Club, developed to help adults improve their fitness levels through a simple motto: Fun, Fitness and Competition. Through these three simple words we have developed a great club that tries to encourage our members to have FUN first, become FIT second and lastly, compete at a level they are comfortable with. Members of the JAM Swim Club range in swimming abilities from novice swimmers all the way to Masters National Champions.
The Club's philosophy is built on the idea that we will all return to do something that's fun. Our workouts are developed to make sure everyone goes home feeling better than when they arrived. JAM coaches work hard to make sure everyone has fun first and foremost. We make sure our coaches, not only understand the sport of swimming and have a passion for it; but also care about other people in their lives. Most importantly all our coaches must also be masters swimmers, so they know what its like to swim as an adult. You'll not only see them on the deck but also in the water with you during some practices.
By making the workouts fun we also reach our goal of creating long lasting relationships with each other. We hope that our coaches not only help you become better swimmers but through our friendships with you we hope we can all live healthy lifestyles that leads to happier living. In today's society we see people who are overly stressed and out of shape, through our club people can find a way to relieve the stress and build their health at the same time.
JAM also promotes all types of competitions ranging swim meet, to triathlons, to open water swims, to non-swimming related events like running and biking. We realize that some people do not want to compete and never push someone to compete when they are not ready. JAM also hosts many social functions from Holiday Parties, to BBQ's to Happy Hours. There's always something for everyone to do depending on your interests!
JAM has enjoyed plenty of team successes . . .
