Parking:         

Parking at BSC will be the same as last year due to the construction of our new science building going on on the back-side of Kelly Gym and the pool.  Parking for all swimming activities will be available only in the Lower Great Hill lot on the opposite side of the "T" tracks.  A longer walk to the pool will be necessary so plan ahead to arrive a few minutes earlier.  Parking passes will be provided to you via mail upon receipt of your check and emergency form following on-line registration.  Persons failing to comply with parking guidelines may be fined by BSC police.
