What is Masters Swimming
Masters Swimming is an organized program of swimming for adults. Members participate in a variety of ways ranging from lap swimming to international competition.
Anyone 18 years and older can join regardless of swimming ability and skill level. United States Masters Swimming (USMS) has over 30,000 members nationwide.
Why WSU Masters Swimming?
The focus of WSU Masters is structured fitness swimming workouts. These workouts differ from a traditional open lap swim in that we provide on-deck coaching that includes:
- stroke technique instruction
- set design
- traffic monitoring.
Because our workouts are structured we ask that you do the workout as prescribed by the coach. It is the job of the coach to adapt the workout to your needs, while keeping the group as a whole moving in the same general direction. If you have an injury that prevents you from doing a particular stroke, please let the coach know so that he/she can change the workout for your needs.
Most workouts take place in Gibb or Smith Pools which are in the Physical Education Buildings on the Washington State University campus.
Workouts are provided in the early morning and in the evening. Please review the University Recreation sign up sheet for details of times and locations.
