Join the SAY Seals!

Is your child ready to dive into their passion for aquatics? The tryouts for the Summit Area YMCA competitive swim team, the SAY Seals, are coming up on April 17 and 18. SAY Seals take pride in nurturing a supportive and inclusive environment where swimmers of all skill levels can excel. Whether you’re an experienced competitor or just beginning your swimming journey, the SAY Seals have a spot for you.

The tryout evaluation includes warm-up exercises, drill sets, and diving demonstrations from the deep end. We assess children on their skill and understanding of all four competitive strokes: butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke, and freestyle. We also consider their performance in other technical water skills and their interaction with coaches and peers.

Each season, we aim to keep our training group sizes consistent. We appreciate your understanding and respect for the coaching staff’s decisions about team acceptance and training group placement.

If your child is interested, sign up today!

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.
