We will not have class the week of November 23rd–29th in observation of Thanksgiving week.
This clinic is taught by Karen, who holds a US Master Swim Certification.
U.S. Masters Swimming mission is to empower adults to improve their lives through swimming. Individuals 18 years and older will be taught by a Masters coach, who will provide technique instruction, interval training, and content to help you improve. U.S. Masters Swimming was created to promote health, fitness, and competition for adults through swimming.
The word Masters was first applied to adults who participated in track and field and was later adopted in organized adult swimming. In swimming, Masters simply means 18 and older.
This is something a lot of Masters coaches hear. However, most Masters coaches and swimmers don’t care how fast you are. In nearly every program, there are others of similar ability or those who started where you are and have improved. Don’t let your perceived ability, or lack thereof, hold you back.
You will learn how to circle swim, read the clock, work on stroke technique, build endurance, and much more. Camaraderie and new friends are two of the best benefits of swimming regularly as a group.
Individuals will not be turned away from participating in programs, activities, and/or membership due to their inability to pay. The Y maintains a generous financial assistance program for youth, adults, and families who demonstrate financial need. Funding for this program is provided by fundraising events at the Dow Bay Area Family YMCA and community-wide donors.
