Class Descriptions and Requirements
INTRO TO MASTER SWIM
Not quite ready for Master Swim, but looking for more than just technique work? This class is a great way to transition to a more fitness based class, without overwhelming you with new terminology and intense training. We'll spend time teaching you the basics of interval training in the pool, blending in technique work alongside the group workouts. You should be able to swim a minimum of four (4) lengths of the pool without stopping. Notice we didn't say how FAST you had to do it! That's why you're taking the class, right?
MASTER SWIM
This program is open to all adult swimmers (fitness, triathlete, competitive, non-competitive) who are dedicated to improving their fitness through swimming. One of the greatest benefits of Masters swimming is to be able to practice with an organized group. Our coaches will challenge you with structured workouts, designed to improve your endurance, strength, speed and power in the water. You should be able to swim a minimum of eight (8) or more lengths of the pool without stopping. Notice we didn't say how FAST you had to do it!
