Best Family Aquatics Center


The Clyde Utz Aquatic Center at the West Morris Area YMCA has been selected as the Best Family Aquatics Center for 2010 by Aquatics International, a leader in the aquatics field. This recognition highlights the different areas within the Aquatic Center including the 25-meter competition pool maintained at 82 degrees and the 25-yard shallow, warm-water pool maintained at 88 degrees. The center also features a custom built 12 person spa with dual level water jets, a 15 person steam room with a multi-level seating area, and a built-in sound system with waterproof wireless microphones in both pools used during the greatly expanded schedule of aqua fitness classes.

The most unique area is the Aqua Cube designed specifically for aquatic rehab and circuit training classes.It's equipped with ballet bars, parallel bars, strength training equipment and an underwater bike.

All areas within the aquatic center maintain separate environments, HVAC and filtration systems. The facility also uses ultravilet disinfestion and air quality control.

A judge commented, "The careful planning in the West Morris expansion is evident. I love the variety of programming."
