I am thrilled with my experiences at the Somerset Hills YMCA. The teachers and staff are very professional, and they are excellent at teaching my 3 children the skills they need to swim safely and effectively. Colleen teaches two of my kids on Monday nights. She has the right balance of encouragement and strictness with my kids. I have seen a lot of progress in the time she has been working with them. Both in their skills and their confidence in the pool. Colleen encourages them to take on challenges in their development as swimmers without pushing too hard. Colleen recognizes their achievements and gives them lots of verbal encouragement. Ms. Kathy teaches my 3 year old in private lessons. Ms. Kathy is very sweet, encouraging, and gentle with my preschooler. Ms. Kathy has taught my preschooler to feel comfortable in the pool and how to do the very basics of swim strokes. I am so impressed in how patient and kind Ms. Kathy is with my son. Overall, I think the program is run very well by Stacey Irvine. Stacey is very organized, professional, and prompt in her email responses. Stacey emphasizes patron safety in and around the pool, and I appreciate her adherence to the pool rules and protocols to ensure everyone's safety. I have recommended the Somerset Hills YMCA swim program to many of my friends, and I think it's the best swim program in the Morris County area.

I had my first swim lesson there to improve my strokes and to swim more efficiently. Jason was very good and give me little tips that help tremendously.
The gym and locker rims were very clean. My daughter and I liked the number of machines and options.
I deeply appreciate the Parkinson's program that the Y offers, with 5 in-person and 3 on-line classes per week, free of charge! This program has changed my life by keeping me moving and trying exercises like ping-pong and boxing which I have not done before, and gotten me back on a bicycle which I have not been able to do on my own.
The staff are wonderful, from being greeted each day by Will at the front desk, to Sue, Ginny, Rebecca, Kevin and Malcolm who are all excellent instructors!

I joined the Somerset Hills YMCA 6 years ago on March 1st! It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Besides bring a State -of - the -Art Facility with a myriad of equipment and exercise programs tfrom which to choose,they have phenomenal instructors and staff that are highly qualified and engaging. They keep you interested in coming often to classes by making you feel so welcome and a part of the Y family! And the friendships I’ve made here are remarkably invaluable and priceless!!
In closing, I’ve lost 35 pounds since joining in 2019, and, most importantly,kept it off, and credit this fabulous facility with assisting me in my journey to robust health and fitness !
