SWIMMERS IN BOULDER

The Boulder Elks are once again proud and excited to welcome back swimmers of all ages and abilities to the Boulder Elks Swim Team (BEST).

​

BEST has been a memorable experience across generations of Boulderites for nearly 50 years. In 2025, we look ahead to executing and implementing ideas and activities both new and tried and true, whose sole purpose is to elevate the professionalism of the program and the development of training ideas and opportunities for our young swimmers.

​

Consider becoming a part of something good, something strong, and something special this Summer.
