You Can Go For A Swim With Santa At The Westfield YMCA

WESTFIELD, NJ — The holiday season doesn't have to be all about snow and sipping hot chocolate.

This year, the Westfield Area YMCA invited the community to celebrate the holiday season at "Swim with Santa" on Sunday, Dec. 11 at the Main Y Facility located at 220 Clark Street in Westfield.

Participants can choose a 30-minute time slot between 1:15-3:30pm to swim with Santa and his elves. A parent or guardian must be in the pool with children under age 6 or children who can’t swim.

Before or after your time in the pool, you can enjoy more fun with holiday arts & crafts.

You can register online or in-person at the Welcome Center. Proceeds benefits the Y’s Annual Support Campaign which "ensures that no one who lives or works in Cranford, Garwood, Mountainside or Westfield and is experiencing a bona fide financial hardship is denied the opportunity to participate at the Y."

Questions can be directed at the elf-in-charge Kim Koza at kkoza@westfieldynj.org or call 908-301-9622 x253.
