​THE WHEELHOUSE

Masters Swimming is a program of coached swim workouts for swimmers who are able to swim several lengths of the pool without stopping. The name ‘masters’ in this case refers to adult swimmers and does not imply proficiency, so don’t be intimidated!
In our one-hour masters classes we promote swim prowess and fitness through swimming workouts that range from conditioning to preparation for competition and triathlon swimming. We vary the workouts so that there is a mix of long endurance swims and short speed work, and although we do include some stroke work, there is an emphasis on freestyle swimming (also known as the American Crawl).
Generally speaking, anyone with basic swimming ability who is 18 years of age or older can join, but we also welcome high-school aged swimmers who are looking for a structured group workout.

For those looking to improve their swimming, doing a structured swim workout with a group of swimmers divided into lanes of swimmers who are roughly the same pace will greatly improve endurance and eventually, speed.

The best way to get faster in the water is to swim regularly to increase your comfort level in the water, boost endurance and improve efficiency, and there’s nothing more motivating than swimming with a group who welcomes your participation!
Masters swimming is not intended to teach a non-swimmer how to swim, or provide extensive personal technique adjustment, however,   you might be able to arrange a one-on-one coaching session to further develop your skills. Please inquire @bak5557@aol.com if you are interested in a personal lesson.
