Where to train in Boston MA?

I'll be visiting Beantown this weekend, and would like to work out with a USMS club in Boston. Any ideas? Thanks, JB
  • More information about more swimming pools in more places than on any other resource! This seems to be a great resource for pool listings in the U.S.
  • Boston is in the New England LMSC. www.swimnem.org I don't know the schedule for other teams, but Cambridge Masters swims out of Harvard's pool. It's about a 10 minute stroll from the Harvard Square T stop. I believe the drop in fee is $10 for USMS members. There's more information on the CMSC website: www.cambridgemasters.com This weekend: Saturday 9-10:30 LCM IM focus Sunday 6:15-7:45pm LCM distance free

    You can check in the NEM web site for more information: www.swimnem.org. Around the Boston area you also have the MIT master, YMCA Central Branch, BU, etc. Most of them had practice on weekends. Igor
  • A.K. and Jasoneaddy: Thanks for the help! I think I'll be able to swim this weekend!
  • We (LANES) normally have practice on the weekends but w/ PRIDE happening on Sat we will only have practice on Sunday @ Northeastern.

    I will be in Boston for a convention the week of July 10. It looks like the Central Y is not too far from the Convention Center area and has lap swimming throughout the day. Are there any other reasonable choices to swim while I'm in Boston? I don't need a coached workout - just a place to swim. I don't have a car but will happily take a short cab ride. I looked this up using "places to swim" above....
  • Check out MIT's pool. Its open to visitors for a fee(don't remember how much) and is a great facility.

    Thanks....I found it on Google Earth and stored the location.....
  • About a mile and a half. I have done the walk in the past. http://web.mit.edu/zcenter/ is the web site for the swimming pool complex.

    Do you know how close the MIT pool is relative to the Boston Convention Center?
