REACH YOUR
Table of Contents
Dear Members,
Developing children to become active,
thriving, contributing members of
society is vital to the Y’s cause of
strengthening community. Through a
vast array of programs, from preschool
to sports to swimming to dance to art,
the Y offers children many experiences
that create new interests and can
ultimately lead to their passion.
As we look at the impact the Y can
have on children, we celebrate the
accomplishments of Sebastian Lutz, a
Somerset Hills YMCA Swim Team alumnus
and Zack Warner, a Somerset Valley
YMCA Swim Team swimmer, who both
qualified to compete in the 2016 Olympic
Trials, and Tobin Heath, a USA Women’s
Soccer Team player who started her
soccer career at Somerset Hills YMCA
at the age of 4. At the Y, we nurture
children and inspire them to discover
what they can achieve, to build character
and to gain confidence. We believe
that just one moment, one word of
encouragement or one person can be the
spark that ignites a child’s bright future.
We invite you to discover programs to
help you reach your peak this fall at the Y!
Sincerely,
David M. Carcieri
President and CEO

fitness options, we help to lower the incidence of chronic disease and to create a healthier community.

OUR CAUSE IN ACTION
At the Y, we are committed to nurturing the potential of all kids,
promoting healthy living and giving back to neighbors. Seventh
grade is a critical and transitional time when young teens are often
introduced to risk behaviors. Research has shown that kids who
adopt healthy habits at this pivotal age can benefit for a lifetime.
FREE 7TH GRADE MEMBERSHIP
At the Y, we are committed to providing teens with opportunities that help
them discover their true potential. Through our free 7th grade memberships,
we hope to inspire kids to make good decisions that form life-long healthy
habits. Our program encourages kids to step out of their comfort zone and
into their growth zone by instilling a sense of independence, responsibility,
respect, leadership, and, of course, fun!
The 7th Grade Membership Program provides a safe place where teens
will find exciting and unique opportunities to cultivate values, skills and
relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational
achievement.
As a school health
professional, I understand
that health and education go
hand-in-hand in preparing
children for academic success.
Healthy students simply learn
better. I’ve seen first-hand
how the Y’s 7th Grade Initiative
Membership makes a difference
in the emotional, social and
physical development of students.
This program instills healthy
lifestyle behaviors and the kids
find a sense of belonging without
the pressures of school or team
sports. As seventh graders become
more involved in social and physical
activities with their peers, they
gain a sense of confidence, healthy
friendships and a positive outlook
on life. The Y’s 7th Grade Initiative
program really is life changing.
- Suzanne, Middle School Nurse
At the Y, 7th graders enjoy unlimited access to our wellness centers, pools,
basketball gym, as well as activities geared toward their age group, such
as group exercise classes, weekly social events, special events, volunteer
opportunities and more.
We invite all 7th graders in our service area to sign up. Pick up an
application at the Welcome Center today!

SWIM
Over the years at the Y, we have taught thousands of children, teens and adults to swim, which has helped to
minimize the risk of drowning in our community. Swimming is a life skill that builds self-esteem and confidence.
Our programs are focused on building strong, secure and confident individuals.
Swim Lessons
•Priority is given to individuals who are not currently
registered in a class so that we can accommodate as many
children as possible.
•Since we have a set number of lanes, we typically cannot
open one class without cancelling another class with low
enrollment. (Classes will not be cancelled during the first
2 weeks of the registration period due to low enrollment).
•We will take participants off the waiting list through the 4th
or 5th week of a session.
Our swim lessons are specifically tailored to the participant’s
age, swimming ability, level of physical development and
confidence in the water. Participants will advance in the program
as they become more skilled in the water.
YMCA swim levels address the individual’s ability to demonstrate:
1. developmentally appropriate water skills (water orientation or
stroke development) 2. personal safety (know the pool rules, how
to float, proper use of life jackets, resting strokes, boating safety)
3. personal growth (gaining confidence and demonstrating Y values
of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility) 4. water games and
sports (understanding of the how-tos) 5. Rescue (knowing how to
be safer in and around the water, how to respond in an emergency).
Class Cancellation
Classes may be canceled due to low enrollment. In these cases,
you will be contacted by the Aquatics Director.
Private Lessons
Our Swim Program philosophy believes in the use of bubbles
(flotation devices) to help children gradually become accustomed
to the water. We remove the bubbles at least once every lesson
or two to test your child’s buoyancy and to build confidence.
If you have questions about the appropriate level for your child,
please schedule an evaluation with us. You may drop-in for a
swim evaluation to determine your child’s level as follows:
Private lessons provide personal instruction in the pool. To
register, please complete a Private Swim Lesson form, which
is available at the Y’s Welcome Center. Open to Somerset
Hills YMCA members. For more information, please contact
Suzi Pellegrino at spellegrino@somersetcountyymca.org
or 908 766 7898 x604.

by Ed Tsuzuki, certified Level 2 U.S. Masters Swimming coach.

Due to class consistency and ratios we do not offer
make‑up swim lessons (including closures due to weather).
Swimmers (ages 10 and under) are required to have a parent or
guardian (age 18 or older) sign them out after class each week.
Family & Open Swim
Throughout the year, Family and Open Swims help to deepen
family connections and to give members a sense of belonging.
Please visit www.somersetcountyymca.org/schedules for
our family and open swim times.
For more information about our Aquatics program, please contact
Duke Munzer at dmunzer@somersetcountyymca.org or

Swim Lesson Wait List
Water Slides at the Stoddard Pool
If your child is placed on the wait list for a group swim lesson,
you will be contacted directly via email or phone if a space
becomes available. We will try our best to accommodate your
request for a lesson.
•In most instances, a current participant must drop out of the
class for a space to become available.
•In some cases, depending on the level and assistant
availability, we can add an assistant to increase the ratio.
Fall 2 Program Guide
Riders must be 48” tall. Slides are not active during swim meets.
Please visit us at www.somersetcountyymca.org for our
