Your gift to our Y's Annual Campaign is helping so many to transition from crisis to recovery. You're connecting kids to safe, enriching, summer fun. (Read our latest camp fun files!) You're aiding individuals with therapeutic counseling. You're giving seniors access to socialization and physical fitness. You're helping families access affordable child care and leading teens to college pathways. Thanks for giving, so our community can be healthier together!

At the Y, no one is turned away for the inability to pay. Through a variety of contributions and proceeds including our Annual Campaign, Foundation, special events and individual and corporate giving, Financial Assistance is available for children and families in need. Financial Assistance offered is based on availability of funds, is easy to apply and confidential. Thank you to all who give so generously!

Strong swimmers are confident kids! All children should have the skills to be safe in and around water that last a lifetime. Learn more about the YMCA curriculum, stages of learning, safety and swim lesson schedules at your local YMCA. Y swim instructors are nationally certified, and their training includes CPR, AED, First Aid and Oxygen Administration.

The Greater Monmouth Y Swim Team welcomes all swimmers interested in competition to try-outs at YMCA Camp Zehnder on Saturday, Aug. 7. Registration opens at 8:30 a.m. and swimmers must be on deck by 9:30 a.m. for warm-up.

Swim competition provides a positive team environment that promotes respect, integrity, perseverance and accountability which enables optimal health and athletic development through swim training, instruction and competition in a safe and supportive environment.
