Masters Swim Program
Masters Swim Program is an organized program for adults (18 and older) interested in swimming. Practices follow the academic calendar from September to May. Members can participate in a variety of ways including fitness swimming, local competition, and national and international competition. Each member can choose their level of involvement.
Benefits
First, you will be joining a group of people who enjoy getting into shape and staying in shape by swimming. This means that you will be working out in a fun and supportive environment. You will also have a coach available to develop workouts and offer suggestions to improve the mechanics of your strokes and your efficiency in the water. See a sample of masters swimming workout plan (PDF) for an example of what you might be doing.
