What is Masters Swimming all about?

U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS) is a national organization that provides organized workouts, competitions, clinics and workshops for adults aged 18 and over. Programs are open to all adult swimmers (fitness, triathlete, competitive, non-competitive) who are dedicated to improving their fitness through swimming.

Founded in 1970, the non-profit corporation is organized with over 500 clubs in 52 regions throughout the United States. Membership numbers more than 50,000, with individual members ranging in age from 18 to over 100.

Within the clubs, structured workouts, often with a coach, offer well-thought-out training assistance. Pool and open-water races provide opportunities to compete and measure individual progress at the local, state, national and international levels. USMS programs also offer stroke and technique clinics, workshops, and instruction, as well as social functions.

All USMS programs are designed to help swimmers improve fitness and/or train for specific goals, and offer active support for a healthy lifestyle through friendship, and camaraderie.

The coaches have extensive experience with stroke mechanics and will be glad to work with you on stroke refinement during workouts.

Coach Cy and Ginger will be glad to talk about some hurdles you're having with swimming.  Coach Cy has coached at an international level with open water swimming and many of his athletes competed in triathlons.

No, while you're perfectly welcome to be there for every workout, the attendance is up to you.  Schedules are set in advance but change seasonally based on the amount of pool space needed and to try to best accommodate the swimmers.  Your feedback counts.

Team registration is $65 per year (Includes cap and US Masters Swimming registration.)

Cost for members of the Freedom Aquatic Center: $45.00 per month

Non-Freedom Members $60.00 per month
