Lap Swim at the Summit YMCA

August 2020
After much anticipation, we are happy to be able to continue our lap swim program beginning 8/31 at the Summit YMCA’s two heated indoor 25 yard pools — pending approval from the New Jersey Department of Health!

Please note, an active Berkeley Heights YMCA, Summit YMCA or Madison YMCA* membership is required to participate in lap swim. Lap swim is open to members ages 16 years and older. 

Reservations are not required. 

LAP SWIM SCHEDULES

Please read our updated Lap Swim Participation Policies here, reservation rules, what to expect at check-in, safety measures and more thoroughly prior to your visit.

SAFETY IN MIND

Members can rest assured that we are working closely with the CDC and New Jersey Department of Health guidelines to ensure safety and prevention of disease. The operation of our programming is subject to approval by the New Jersey Department of Health. Similar to participants, Summit Area YMCA staff are also subject to health screenings and temperature checks, hand sanitizing, face mask, social distancing requirements and more.

Respectfully we ask, that if you are not feeling well, have any COVID-19 related symptoms, have been in close proximity to anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 or has any COVID-19 related symptoms, have traveled internationally or to any of the states on the NJ quarantine listing, you please stay home and postpone your visit to the Y.

For detailed information regarding reservations, check-in procedures and participation policies, please review our Lap Swim Participation Policies.

PARTICIPATION POLICIES

Please note, all members must sign an updated Summit Area YMCA membership waiver online before participating in any Y activities. This only has to be completed once.

SIGN THE WAIVER

*Our partnership with the Madison YMCA allows Madison YMCA members use of the pools at the Summit YMCA for lap swim and aquatic exercise while their pool is being repaired. As our Nationwide Membership Program and Guest Policy is still temporarily suspended, Madison YMCA members are not permitted to participate in any other Summit Area YMCA programs or offerings at this time. All Madison YMCA members visiting the Summit YMCA for use of the pool must complete our Guest Waiver online before participating. This only has to be completed once.

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.
