BAM Benefits


Swimming regularly builds strength, endurance and cardio-vascular fitness. Swimming also is effective at injury rehabilitation and recovery. These benefits compliment dry-land exercises with fewer stresses on joints and tendons.  For these reasons swimming is an excellent entire body workout that can be enjoyed for a lifetime.


Boulder Aquatic Masters (BAM) in conjunction with United States Masters Swimming (USMS) provides a supportive group environment for adult swimmers.  BAM members range from 24 to 83 years old and enjoy the following benefits:
  • Constant motivation in an environment where improvement is encouraged.
  • Access to the wonderful professionals who are accomplished swimmers and coaches themselves.
  • Structured workouts that give purpose to your exercise rather than swimming endless laps.
  • Masters can be more fun than swimming laps. The additional motivation and fun means you will swim more and be in better shape.
  • Meet new people. Join a community with a purpose to be together. Meet a whole slice of the Boulder community.
  • One of the safest forms of cardiovascular exercise and as mentioned low joint stress while building strength and endurance.


We welcome you to try swimming with BAM
