The next Session Start January 8, 20013!
What is “Masters” Swimming?
Masters Swimming is simply a group of people, over the age
of 18, enjoying swim practices with a set workout and a coach to give guidance
on technique.
What are the ages of your swimmers?
We have swimmers of all ages, from their early twenties and
upwards.
Do I have to be a really good/fast swimmer like Michael
Phelps?
We have swimmers of all speeds and abilities; from people
very new to swimming, to former competitive swimmers, triathletes or people
just looking to get some exercise in a fun environment.
Do I have to know all the swim strokes, or be able to swim a
certain distance?
You don’t have to know all four strokes (front crawl, breast
stroke, back stroke and butter fly) but you have to be willing to learn (unless
of course you have an injury which prevents you from doing a stroke). We don’t
have a distance/speed requirement, but you should be comfortable swimming for
30 minutes, and about 200 meters without stopping.
As a former competitive swimmer will your workouts be
challenging?
Absolutely! We have many former competitive swimmers in the
club, and they enjoy a challenging workout every time. Our practices range from
60 to 90 minutes, and include all strokes, distances, kick and pull. Everything
you need to feel challenged in the pool.
