How can I learn more about Swim Winchester plans to build an indoor pool in town? Over the past few years, with generous financial support from the community, we’ve developed a business plan, carried out detailed and diligent site studies, and finalized a preliminary design for the aquatic center. We will be hosting an information session on March 28th, 2024 in the Large Meeting Room at the Winchester Public Library to provide a project update and answer questions. We hope that you can join us!
THANK YOU!
The 2023 Swimathon raised more than $8000 from more than 70 Swim Winchester supporters. Thank you to the swimmers and to the generous donors!

Swim Winchester hires Fennick McCredie Architecture
We are pleased to announce that Swim Winchester has hired Fennick McCredie Architecture to develop a preliminary design and establish a construction cost estimate for a proposed aquatic facility on Skillings Field.
