FAQs:
1. Do I have to be a good
swimmer?
A basic skill level is
necessary to be able to enjoy swimming as an exercise, but many
people join us with no competitive experience and some new
swimmers only know one or two strokes. We are excited to help
you improve your technique and learn more about a great
lifetime sport.
2. I’m a triathlete,
can this help me?
Many triathletes simply hit
the pool a couple times a week and put in a 30 minute swim.
With masters you can receive well planned interval
training and benefit from the challenge of teammates and a
coach.
3. Do I have to join the
YMCA?
You do not have to join the
YMCA to participate with the masters program. Your access
will be limited to the pool and the masters practice
times if you do not join the YMCA.
4. What is the
cost?
Cost is $75.00 (reflects fee
change effective 9/1/08) for a four month season. We run 3
seasons: Jan - April, May - August, Sept - Dec.
5. Can I just try it out
once before I committ?
You betcha! We’d
love for you to come in and give masters a try. If it’s
for you, then we’ll get you registered.
6. Who is the
coach?
Sue Mann has been our masters
coach for many seasons. She was a decorated competitive
swimmer herself and continues to compete with our masters
team.
