Parking & Directions

The fitness center, located in Boston's South End, is connected to the Boston Medical Center just off of Massachusetts Ave. at 35 Northampton Street (just opposite the parking lot of CVS). The parking garage is located in the bottom of the building (35 Northampton Street) and you can take the elevator from the garage to the 4th floor where the entrance to the SEFC is located.

NOTE: Please remember to bring your parking ticket with you and the front desk of SEFC will validate your ticket for FREE parking.

How to Enter the SEFC and Access the Pool

We ask that all swimmers meet as a group at the entrance to the SEFC 10-15 minutes before practice and enter as a group. It is important that we not inconvenience the front desk staff with late arrivals. The locker rooms are locked and we must enter as a group in accordance with our agreement with SEFC.

If you arrive late...

One swipe card will be left at the front desk AND you will need to wait until 10-15 minutes past the practice start time to enter with other late swimmers. Please provide the late arrival swipe card to the coach when you arrive on deck. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late and the late group has already gone to the pool, you will NOT be granted access to the pool. Please do not push the front desk to let you in — they are not allowed to do so and badgering the front desk will put our relationship with SEFC in jeopardy.
