  • Masters Swim includes swimmers of all levels and abilities. We have swimmers who just learned to swim in the past year, and we have swimmers who are locally and nationally ranked. Whatever your goals are, we can get you there.

    As a general guidance, if you can swim four lengths of a 25-yard pool (100 yards) continuously, then you will be able keep up with our starting group. We are supportive of new swimmers and want to help you improve your strokes, fitness, and conditioning.

  • You are not alone—many of our Masters swimmers have said that they considered trying our swim workout for a long time before they got up the courage to attend our practice.

    Here are a few things to keep in mind:

    • EdgarMay Masters is a wonderful group of people.

    • We have swimmers ranging from 30 to 70 years old.

    • We welcome and encourage new swimmers!

    • Chances are very good that if you get over that initial fear and swim a workout with us, you’ll be happy you did.

    • Swimming is a great lifelong fitness activity.

    • And it’s both fun and motivating to do your workout with a group of like-minded adults!

  • The Short Answer: Competition is encouraged but not required!

    Our Masters Swim will focus on several competitions each year, including local New England and National swim meets.

    Workouts will be structured around these competitions, which means we will be dedicated to distance, pace, sprint work, and technique. These workouts will vary in the months before each competition to optimize conditioning.

    For instance, summer workouts will tend to focus on preparing swimmers for longer open water and triathlon swims.

  • Members EFT: $30/month
    10-Session Punch Card: $120
    Drop-ins: $15/practice

    New Masters swimmers will also receive a free 30-minute freestyle assessment with Coach Kristen. Equipment such as kickboards, pull buoys, paddles, etc. areprovided.

    **You do not have to be United States Masters Swimming (USMS) registered to join or drop in.

She competed in Division 1 collegiate swimming at the University of New Mexico, and was a nationally ranked swimmer. Her favorite stroke is freestyle, and although she was a sprinter in college, she now enjoys mid distance and distance events.

MASTERS SWIM PRACTICES

Masters Swim is a year-round program and is always accepting new participants. It’s your choice whether you want to attend every practice, or only occasionally. There is no attendance requirement.

2026 Practice Schedule:

Mondays from 6:00—7:00AM

Saturdays from 7:00—8:00AM

During the spring and summer, we dedicate one workout per week to an open water swim at local lakes.

Each week Coach Kristen creates three Masters Swim workouts, which are available at the Front Desk for registered Masters swimmers.  If you can’t make it to a practice, you can grab a workout and follow it on your own.
