We are all encouraged and motivated by each other.

Coaching
Coaching is one of the main reasons to join or start a Masters program. Successful programs do exist that have no coaches. Qualified members help others with technique and training pro-grams. One quality that sets Masters programs apart from nearly all lap swimming programs, however, is that most offer coaching with its many benefits. Swimmers become more motivated and stay committed when a good coach is available to provide challenging workouts and stroke instruction.

U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS)
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.
