Aquatics Programming Across Our Clubs
Jackson McDonough, Aquatics Director & Swim Team Head Coach: jmcdonough@bgcprov.org
At our Fox Point, and South Side Clubhouses, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Providence feature indoor, heated, 25-yard pools, each 10+ feet deep at our deep and with diving blocks at our Fox Point Clubhouse. Our Wanskuck clubhouse has a smaller pool 3,4 feet deep. Under the watchful eye of trained and certified lifeguards and swimming instructors, parents have the comfort of knowing their children are safe and learning to swim at their own pace. Recreational swim is incorporated into Boys & Girls Clubs of Providence summer camps, after-school, and teen programs, and members at sites without pool facilities are offered free transportation to South Side, Wanskuck, and Fox Point. Swim lessons, as well as American Red Cross First Aid, CPR, and Life guarding courses are also offered during select times of year at at least one of our Clubhouses. Our pool facilities include changing areas, lockers, and showers, and our pools are open year-round!
