Saturday, October 26 marks World Swim Day founded by MySwimPro, a virtual swimming community,
to empower people all around the world to get active in the water. Swim Winchester, a non-profit
organization raising funds to build an indoor community aquatic facility that gives everyone in town a
place to swim and be together, encourages all community members to participate whether by
swimming or reading about the beautiful sport. Here are our recommendations for students.
It’s Spirit Weekend! Please join us at the Farmer’s Market in the town common on Saturday, September 21st from 9:30 am – 1:30 pm for Community Connects Day, part of Spirit Weekend inspired by hometown hero Glen Doherty. Stop by our table to say hello and learn more about our efforts to build an indoor community pool here in Winchester. See you soon!
This op-ed in the Boston Globe does an amazing job of outlining so many of the benefits – physical, mental and social – of a community pool. Our mission is to bring an aquatics center to Winchester, along with all of the positive impacts it would have on our community.
We’ve been hearing a lot of great questions from the community about the aquatics center, and have compiled a list of the most frequently asked ones. Please visit our FAQ page HERE.
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!
The 2023 Swimathon raised more than $8000 from more than 70 Swim Winchester supporters. Thank you to the swimmers and to the generous donors!
Join us on Sunday August 6 (9-11am) for the 2023 Swim Winchester Community Swim Celebration! Come experience what a town pool could be! The event will be held at the Hall Memorial Pool in Stoneham (4 North Border Road, Stoneham MA). Join us for light refreshments, and to swim, play in the splash park, and enjoy other water activities!
