Severe Weather Pool Policy

The Summit Area YMCA adopts rules and regulations for the safety of its members, community and staff. In the event of severe weather, the Summit Area YMCA reserves the right to evacuate and close the pool for any designated amount of time.

Severe weather is monitored by management and evacuation will be considered when one or more of the following occurs:

1. Lightning is seen.
2. Thunder is heard.
3. A severe thunderstorm or tornado warning has been issued in our local area.
4. Notifications are received from a lightning detection network and detected to be within or approaching our local area.

All members, guests and staff are expected to comply and adhere to our evacuation and safety policies. While our pools are bonded and grounded, safety is our priority at all times.

SUMMIT AREA YMCA

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.

Please note that the section of Maple Street closest to the Summit YMCA will be closed from approximately 7 AM to 11 AM on Sunday, May 5, for our Mother’s Day 5K. Please use Cedar Street to access the public lot that is next to our building.
