As part of Women's History Month last March, the Greater Somerset County YMCA featured several outstanding women for their contributions throughout our community. We are proud that several of our coaches made the list! Congratulations to Coach Adele, Coach Mary and Coach Ellen for this well-deserved recognition!

We want to give a standing ovation to Coach Adele Morgan, the #1 SHE-ROE of 2023! Coach Adele is a powerhouse that provides energy to everyone on her team, and to everyone around her. She elevates and celebrates every little win and every little progress, with intentionality, a full heart, and undivided attention. She is determined to help everyone reach their full potential and when sees someone that needs help getting there, she finds ways to support their growth and give them hope of becoming someone they didn’t know they could be, without expecting anything in return. She embodies the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. She holds her team accountable, and teaches them, and everyone she coaches these same values. This then translate to life beyond the pool, bike, or running shoes, and makes the world a better place.

Thank you to the award winners and all of our coaches for tirelessly developing and mentoring our athletes in and out of the pool!
