Help Us Celebrate 100 Years of YMCA Swimming and Diving history!

2023 marks the 100th year of YMCA National Swimming and Diving Championships and we're looking for Summit YMCA Swim Team alumni to help contribute memories to the Centennial Celebration.

Right now, we're collecting swim team alumni photos, videos, artifacts, audio and/or reflections of alumni experience on Summit YMCA Swim Team. These memories will be shared with the YMCA of the USA as part of a larger video that will be shown throughout the 2023 YMCA National Short Course Championship and posted online as part of the YMCA Swimming and Diving Virtual Museum that is being created. This history will also be shared at the Summit Area YMCA's Centennial Celebration in the spring (event date TBD).

Join the Summit YMCA Swim Team Alumni Facebook group to participate and submit your content.

BERKELEY HEIGHTS YMCA | SUMMIT YMCA | THE LEARNING CIRCLE YMCA

In 1886, we were founded as the Young Men's Christian Association, but today, we are The Y. An association that values, and is made stronger by, its diverse people. We stand for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility — For a better us. We are committed to creating equal opportunity for all regardless of gender, age, disability, income, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious affiliation. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive culture in which our four core values — responsibility, honesty, caring and respect — are integral to everyday operations.

Each year, as one of the area’s leading 501(c)3 charitable organizations, the Summit Area YMCA serves more than 15,000 individuals with our free and fee-based programs and services in an area spanning the New Jersey communities of Berkeley Heights, Gillette, Millburn, New Providence, Short Hills, Springfield, Stirling and Summit. Our history is rooted in working side-by-side with our neighbors to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Through the generosity of our members, donors, and partners, we are able to offer financial assistance for our programs and services to those in need.
