MIT Recreation runs the MIT All Sports Summer Day Camp on the MIT campus in Cambridge, based out of the Johnson Athletics Center with swimming at the Institute's aquatics center. Campers rotate through basketball, soccer, tennis, badminton, dance, diving, wiffleball, kickball, gaga ball, capture the flag, water polo, dodgeball and American Red Cross swim lessons, with Jr. Lifeguarding for swimmers who pass a 100-yard test; all campers are required to join every activity and groups are set by age at roughly 12-20 campers each. Enrollment is open by the week for ages 6-13, running 9:00am to 4:00pm, with paid early arrival from 8:00am and late stay until 5:30pm. Campers bring their own lunch; the camp is licensed by the local board of health, and sailing was dropped in 2024 under the Massachusetts Recreational Camp Code.

★★★★★Hector OnealVisiting Boston for a Meeting at Hynes Convention Center. Great to have a pool to go to for a swim as a visitor, for a nominal day pass price of $15. And they converted to 50 m long course for the summer session. Wasnt too crowded with 3-4 in a lane on Sunday at 1 pm and about 2-3 on a Tuesday around 11 am.
★★★★★Payel Bis**This review is for the Non-MIT people** I am gonna be selfish here because I am a powerlifter. So, only the heavy weights that attracts me. This gym is good for that purpose. It has pretty much everything. Several benches and squat stations with Eleiko olympic bars (🔥🔥), two deadlift stations with the barbell jack, plenty of machines for the accessories. The Eleiko plates are you seeing, these are not for you folks. You have to be in the athletic team. That something to brag about if you're a MIT student. I got the day pass for $15 which includes the pool area as well. That one is amazing if you're into swimming. Any outsiders with a valid ID can buy the passes. You can find the info on their website.
★★★★★K AIve been using the gym at the MIT Zesiger Center, and it’s great. The range of equipment is excellent, from weights to cardio machines, and everything is well-maintained and up-to-date. The space is clean and spacious, but it get a littlr overcrowded during peak hours. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere is motivating and welcoming.

★★★★★Awais J. (AJ)Great facilities, swimming and all kinds of sports if you are in. Great chill out place if you are looking for a evening fun time outside. Go for swimming or find a match of your choice to watch. You will be lucky if you can find an official match going around with MIT and some guest team visiting. Practice matches are fun to watch too.
