Masters Swim

Swim together to build community while achieving personal fitness goals. Whether a lap swimmer, tri-athlete, open water swimmer, competitive or just want to swim for fun.

The word “Masters” has nothing to do with your skill level or current ability in the pool; just your age. Master Swim is open to adults 18 and older who are looking to improve their fitness through the sport of swimming.

Workouts vary throughout the week and focus on speed, endurance, and technique.

Each workout is coached by a certified Masters Swim coach who will provide tips and feedback to improve your swimming ability.
