Boston University Swimming Lessons in Boston

We came there to swim, bought day passes and the pool was closed, because apparently one of the lifeguards did not show up. Is it that difficult to have some backup in case a staff member gets sick or hit by a bus?

Nice pool

Really nice instructor and a great facility for swim lessons - lower lighting, small pool ideal for young learners. Not sure if it was a scheduling snafu between swim meets and community swim time, but one of our lessons was overtaken by lap swimmers which made it impossible for our kid to do his lesson laps. Called main office, but they weren’t very concerned.

Various classes for all ages. Visit the BU fitrec website for details. Classes don't require BU affiliation.

The pool is top notch worth it

Top notch operation from the pool manager (Dave) to the Vice President of Construction, and the Project Manager with whom I met with almost daily. I found them to be very demanding, but also very helpful, as my company restored a somewhat dilapidated competition swimming pool bulkhead. With the bulkhead completed, and substantial restoration of the entire pool finished by the general contractor, this years competition will be in a pool that looks as good as, or possibly even better than, the year the pool and the bulkhead were brand new. Guests should be sure to bring cameras and video recorders, because this year promises to be unforgettable.
