Prime Aquatics Masters Program

Welcome! The Prime Aquatics Masters swim program is for many types of adult (age 18+) swimmers, offering regularly scheduled coached group workouts. We promote health and well-being through our love of swimming. We want swimmers to have fun, make progress towards their goals and be a part of our supportive community.

We have competitive triathletes, open water swimmers and USMS pool champions, as well as former collegiate swimmers and folks very new to the pool learning new strokes.  Our coaches strive to meet every swimmer where they are at and help them achieve the swim goals with a variety of workouts. Swimmers don't have to execute perfect flip turns, dives and strokes; it's more important that each person brings an open mind, a willingness to try something new once in awhile and simply, a love of the craft.  We provide an environment where you can learn and practice the rest.

We can't wait to meet you at the pool!

There is no initial registration fee and no annual recurring fees for our Masters program.

New Swimmers and Guests:

All guests and new swimmers that are NOT current USMS members must apply for a USMS 30-day Trial Membership. 

CLICK HERE for the Electronic Trial Membership Form that will be transmitted to us electronically BEFORE your first workout.

All new swimmers are welcome to a one-week FREE trial to join any masters practices, meet the coaches and other swimmers and decide if our program is a good fit.  Following the trial, new swimmers register with our team on this site (see above links). New swimmers that are not already USMS members will also need an annual USMS membership within 30 days (the trial membership will expire, and may not be repeated).

All swimmers should bring their own equipment (goggles, cap, pull buoy, paddles, fins, etc.) to each workout, along with suit, towel and sandals or other deck shoes, if desired. Adult (18+) locker rooms with showers are available.

Weekly Practice Program:

Our workouts follow a regular weekly practice program.  We hope that defining practice themes will help both swimmers and coaches prepare for, and get the most out of, our sessions.  Please don’t be shy about recommending sets or practices, and consider it your honor for your birthday (name your set!).

From time to time, we will offer special events, social gatherings, or take our practices to another venue like the 100-meter outdoor pool in nearby Oak Ridge, TN or open water. All swimmers registered with our club will recieve email updates regarding special events and schedule updates.
