Children's Programs

Fun for the Family!
The BAC offers many programs just for kids, including swimming lessons, the BAC Dolphins swim team, healthy eating and exercise, self-defense, tumbling and day camps.

Children of members age six to 12 may use the swimming pool free of charge during designated hours. In the company of a parent or other adult member, youth ages six to 12 may also use the club periodically by paying a daily youth fee of $2.50. A monthly youth pass is also available for $15, which allows an unlimited number of BAC visits in a one-month period.

Teenage members have unlimited use of the club. In consideration of other members, we expect younger children to enjoy the club in the company of a supervising adult member, a BAC program director or in the club's Youth Activity Center.
