 The YMCA is America's favorite swimming instructor and has remained so for over 120 years.
The Somerset Hills YMCA believes every child should have the opportunity to learn to swim for reasons of safety, fitness, building a positive self image and developing a lifelong interest in aquatics. We are committed to offering the children in our YMCA Swim Lessons a quality program that teaches swimming and water safety skills in a student-centered, caring atmosphere. Our lessons are developmentally appropriate and designed to teach skills quickly and effectively with safety as a high priority.
YMCA Swim lessons
Geared especially for Pre-Teens and Teens of differing abilities who want to learn to swim with their peers of the same age. Lessons follow the YMCA Aquatic program guidelines.
Swim Fit Club
A combined land and water fitness program offering information on healthy eating for pre teens and teens age 13 and older who have mastered Fish (Level 5) swimming skills. This is a three day per week program geared toward pre teens and teens wanting to improve their swimming technique and endurance but do not want the commitment of a competitive swim team program.
Special Olympics
Our Special Olympics Swim Team competes at the local, county and State level. Practices begin in the Fall and go through the Spring.
