Intro to Masters
Are you ready to take your swimming to the next level?
If you're already swimming for fitness, or thinking about getting started, but aren't quite sure what U.S. Masters Swimming is or whether Masters-style training is right for you, our Intro to Masters class is the perfect place to begin.
This program bridges the gap between casual lap swimming and the structure of coached Masters practices. You'll build confidence, learn essential skills, and get a feel for what it's like to swim with a Masters group, all in a supportive, low-pressure environment. This program also serves as a great first step for those who may be interested in joining our Snohomish Aquatic Center Masters team in the future.
