The City of Boston’sOffice of Human ServicesandBoston Centers for Youth & Familiesannounced 11 nonprofit organizations as recipients of the Swim Safe grants. Funded through $114,892 in individual awards ranging from $5,000 and $22,500, the grants will expand access to free beginner swim lessons and water safety programming for young people and families across Boston.

“Learning to swim is a critical life-saving skill and an important entry point into healthy, fun experiences at our beaches and pools throughout Boston and beyond,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “I’m grateful to our community partners and BCYF for making it possible for more Boston families to access safe, welcoming aquatic programming this summer.

” These grant awards, supported by the City of Boston’s FY26 Annual Operating Budget, will fund aquatics providers and summer camp programs to offer free swim lessons to an estimated 700 youth this summer, improving water safety in Boston by addressing the public health threat posed by drowning.

The grants will also expand access to beginner swim instruction beyond the thousands of free lessons already provided by Boston Centers for Youth & Families’ staff at aquatics sites across the City.

Grantees include the following organizations: * YMCA of Greater Boston (9 locations) * Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston (4 locations) * Boys & Girls Club of Dorchester (Dorchester) * Salvation Army Kroc Center (Dorchester) * Bryce’s Journey (Hyde Park) * Hope Floats Foundation (Back Bay, South End) * Boston Explorers (Chinatown) * Boston’s Higher Ground (Roxbury) * Brooke Charter School (Mattapan) * Horizons of Greater Boston (Mattapan) “This grant will allow Boston’s youth to continue accessing free swim programming across the city throughout the summer,” said José F.

Massó, Chief of Human Services. “Our Swim Safe grantees are advancing swim equity and expanding access so every young person has the opportunity to learn to swim safely this summer.

” In addition to established Swim Safe partners that operate pools and provide youth swim lessons, including the YMCA of Greater Boston, Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston, Boys & Girls Club of Dorchester, and the West End House, this summer’s cohort introduces several new grantees in different neighborhoods increasing the availability of accessible, community-based swim lessons to Boston’s young people.

“At BCYF, we see firsthand how life-changing it is for a child to gain confidence in the water,” said Marta E. Rivera, Commissioner of Boston Centers for Youth & Families. “By partnering with these incredible community organizations, we are meeting families where they are and ensuring that cost is never a barrier to learning a life-saving skill.

These grants allow us to build on the work done at our BCYF pools, creating a citywide network of safety and summer fun for all our youth. ” “Access to pools, natural water, and so much more is an opportunity that must be available to all. Incumbent in that access is the confidence that young people and families will feel safe and be able to enjoy the water,” said David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of the YMCA of Greater Boston.

“The Y and our nine city locations are proud to continue to receive support from the City's Swim Safe initiative so that together we can remove barriers and provide the pools, lessons, and expertise needed to ensure all Bostonians have the access and skills in and around the water.

” ##### SUMMER POOL SCHEDULE In addition to the expandedSwim Safeprogram, Mayor Wu, the Public Facilities Department, BCYF, and Boston Public Schools have prioritized investing in the city's pool infrastructure and streamlining processes to ensure our pools are well-maintained and staffed throughout every season.

The City of Boston is currently on target to meet its seasonal lifeguard hiring goals, a success driven by a strategic shift toward proactive recruitment. By offering year-round lifeguard training and certification programs, the City has successfully established a continuous pipeline of qualified candidates.

This consistent instruction, paired with expanded recruitment efforts, ensures that the City’s pools and BCYF Curley beach will be fully staffed, safe, and accessible for residents throughout the summer months.

The list of neighborhood pools that are planned to be open for Summer 2026 are as follows: * BCYF Clougherty (seasonal outdoor pool – opens late June) * BCYF Hennigan (in final stage of repairs, planned to open this summer) * BCYF Mattahunt (in final stage of repairs, planned to open this summer) * BPHC South End Fitness Center A full list of the City's pools and their operating hours can be foundhere.
