EBSL is a swim league that started on 1976, to help develop the love of swimming in the East Bay. The purpose of the East Bay Swim League (EBSL), is to provide young swimmers with an opportunity for summer recreational swimming competition, in an atmosphere that fosters sportsmanship, team spirit, cooperation, and respect for the other swimmers and the league.
It was started in the Hayward area, but has spread to Southern Fremont, Newark, San Leandro, and Castro Valley. Newark Bluefins were the eleventh team added to the league in the Spring of 1997 and the Columbia Crocodiles were added in the Spring of 1998. We lost the Seals Swim Club in 2022, and since we have eleven teams in the League.
Each year EBSL hosts its Championship meet where all eleven teams in the league compete to determine the overall league champion. We unfortunately had to skip the “Champs” meet on 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID pandemic.
