Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF,) is currently enrolling youth participants, ages 6-17, for the annual BCYF Citywide Swim League.

Every year, over 300 young swimmers participate in the BCYF Swim League. In addition to improving swimming skills, participants make new friends and enjoy visits to other BCYF swimming pools in Boston for meets. The league is a developmental league and serves as an introduction to competitive swimming so experience on a swim team is not necessary. Participants will be tested to make sure they are able to swim one length of the pool. The regular season meets are held once a week beginning in November. The final meet of the season, the Nakieka "Kiki" Taylor Championship Meet, will take place with all teams in March. To sign up to participate, e-mail or call the contact at your local pool listed below. For more information, contact Antonio Rosario, BCYF Aquatics Manager, at Antonio.Rosario@boston.gov or 617-635-4920 ext. 2150. Team enrollment will continue through November or until each team reaches capacity.
