Sailing

BRYC is home to one of the oldest Junior Sailing programs in the United States. Rooted in tradition, our program fosters a lifelong love of sailing by teaching essential skills and teamwork in a safe, fun, and instructive environment. Children can begin as young as six, joining at any skill level along the way. Beyond learning the sport, our junior members build friendships that last a lifetime.

Tennis

Our Junior Tennis program provides opportunities for every child interested in this lifelong sport. Clinics are available for ages four and up, catering to all skill levels. For those interested in competition, juniors can join the tennis team and compete against other clubs in the Fairfield County league.

Swim & Dive

The Black Rock YC swim team competes in the Fairfield County Swim League, which features over 30 teams across six divisions. The Barracudas have made an impressive ascent, starting with a Division 6 championship in 2012 and reaching Division 2 for the 2025 season.

The mission of our Swim & Dive program is to teach the fundamentals of swimming and diving, introduce juniors to competitive events, and ensure a positive summer experience. Open to children from six months to 18 years, BRYC offers a place for everyone in our swimming and diving community.

With a balance of learning, teamwork, and fun, BRYC’s Junior Activities Program fosters a lifelong passion for the water and an active lifestyle.
