The program accommodates those that are new to swimming all the way up to those competing in national and international events.

Created by Jane Scott in the 1980's, BAM was initially run in partnership with the City of Boulder, and quickly grew to several hundred members. Today BAM counts over 500 year round members, employs 10 coaches, and offers over 30 weekly workouts.

BAM rents pool space from the City of Boulder and the Elks Lodge which includes, a 50 and 25 meter, outdoor pool and three 25 yard, indoor pools.  

BAM also rents the Boulder Reservoir (“The Rez”), which BAM has used since 1999 to host its Tuesday + Thursday morning summer swims and various open water competitions. In fact, BAM‘s use of The Rez has generated such enthusiasm that it has become a focal point of our program.  Over the past 6 years attendance at these events has seen amazing growth (1000+ swimmers in 2015) and it keeps growing year after year.
