Group Descriptions - Masters

Masters (18 & Over)

This group is for anyone 18-99+. Though it is not a learn-to-swim program, we do follow Active for Life stage in Long Term Athlete Development. This group has 3 water sessions per week.  

These athletes will be encouraged to push themselves to try new skills, distances, and maintain a goal of being active for life. This level of training will be motivated and instructed by coaches, but with a group of vast talents and skills will also require athletes to be self-directing at times. We will look at balancing competitive strokes, turns, endurance, and speed to help ensure injury-prevention and a well-rounded athlete.  

Most practices will have 3 options to choose from to better encourage all level of swimmers to build on their swim skills.

These swimmers will have the choice, at registration, whether they’d like to register under Masters Category (masters swimming and meets), or Masters Open (masters swimming, option to compete in Swim Canada sanctioned events).
