Cohasset Swim Center has been providing a safe, fun environment for the community for almost 50 years. It was founded by a group of dedicated local men and women, who wanted to provide a place for the whole family to learn to swim and enjoy the summer months. Prior to CSC, residents had to take swimming lessons at Sandy Beach, which was challenging on days with bad weather. Now, the center provides a better suited and more predictable environment for students. The founders of CSC as well as the community have been incredibly supportive over the years, helping to keep the annual membership rate at a minimum. We are grateful for all the donations we have received and continue to rely on the help of our residents.

For 55 years, the Town of Cohasset has provided a summer Playground Program for local youth.

This program offers a safe and fun atmosphere with weekly entertainment, field trips, and daily special events. Over 500 children each year have experienced this program, and have included generations of families, as well as members of our staff. We know that there are many opportunities for sponsorships in the local area, and we understand that dollars are limited. However, we believe that our sponsorship program has a direct impact on hundreds of children and families.
