Masters FAQ:
Q: Is this program only for great swimmers?
A: No.  Practices are designed to accommodate a wide range of ability levels while following a structured training plan designed by our coaches.  You may find novice swimmers all the way to highly competitive swimmers and triathletes in any typical practice.

Q: Are practices mandatory?
A: No.  Come to practice as you please.  Masters swimming is more of a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere than most age group or collegiate programs.

Q: Can I try a practice before I commit?
A: Yes.  You are welcome to swim a couple of practices to make sure our program is what you have in mind.

Q: Is the USMS fee required?
A: Yes. The USMS fee varies and is an annual fee paid online at www.usms.org.  This means you will register for USMS online and then will register separately with PCST.  For insurance purposes, every Masters swimmer MUST be registered with USMS.

A: Frank Brown Park is located on U.S Highway 98 in Panama City Beach. The address of the pool is 16200 Panama City Beach Parkway, Panama City Beach, FL. 32413.
