Outdoor Swim Lessons

Discover the fun of learning to swim under the warm sun this summer! The Summit Area YMCA offers a unique opportunity to embrace this journey with outdoor swim lessons.

Led by certified instructors, Summit Area YMCA’s outdoor lessons prioritize safety and personalized instruction. From beginner to advanced swimmers, each individual receives tailored guidance to help them progress at their own pace. With a focus on building confidence and technique, individuals can develop a strong foundation in swimming while enjoying the natural surroundings.

Swimming is not only a fun activity but also a great way to stay healthy and active. The SAY’s outdoor swim lessons amplify these benefits by combining physical exercise with the therapeutic effects of nature. Participants can improve their cardiovascular health, build strength, and reduce stress while enjoying the beauty of the outdoors.

Beyond learning different strokes, outdoor swim lessons foster a sense of community among both the instructors and participants. You’ll get a true feel for what the Y stands for: bringing people together.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned swimmer, there’s something truly special about learning to swim while at the Y.

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.
