This meet gives all BCYF swimmers the chance to end the swim season in healthy competition against other BCYF centers’ swim teams from across the City. This end of season meet gathers all the swimmers in one location to experience a swim meet at a college facility.

The league is made up of 14 teams from BCYF community centers. More than 300 children participate in the league, which starts in January and ends with this meet in March.  The league has been operating for more than 15 years.

PLEASE NOTE: The 2020 BCYF Kiki Taylor Championship Swim Meet will take place at Simmons College.

Can't remember the last time you were on a bike? Or never learned to ride? Come to an indoor learn-to-ride clinic taught by the Boston Active Transportation team’s experienced staff. We will help each participant gain the skills and confidence to get on a bike and keep on rolling! Bikes provided upon request.

This class is appropriate for people who are brand new to biking. It is taught entirely in a gymnasium. Registration is required.
