Master swimming is competitive swimming for anyone 19-99 years of age. No previous competitive swimming experience is necessary. Master's swimming is for everyone from the beginner to the very advanced. Coaches are present on deck, offering workouts and stroke pointers to make your swimming more successful. Competition in meets is not required. Meets opportunities are available to those who register with United States Masters Swimming (USMS).
