2024-25 SAY Swim Team Tryouts

Two Boys in a pool and one with their first up smiling at a Summit Area YMCA pool.

The evaluation at tryouts is a sample practice for each age group, where coaches give the kids a brief warm up, a set of drills, and a dive from the deep end is practiced. Swimmers will be evaluated on their knowledge and competence in all four competitive strokes; butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke, and freestyle. They will also be evaluated on other technical skills in the water, in addition to how they listened and interacted with the coaches and their fellow swimmers in the lane. Every season our program makes every effort to keep our training group numbers consistent. We ask families to respect the decision of the coaching staff in regards to acceptance onto the team and training group placement.

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.
