Training Levels – One Group, All Levels Welcome
While we do not divide swimmers into separate groups for registration or practice, our Masters workouts are thoughtfully designed to accommodate a wide range of skill levels. Each practice includes variations and options tailored to individual needs, so all swimmers train together while receiving appropriate challenges and support.
Here’s how we adapt workouts based on experience and goals:
Beginner
Level
- Ideal for adults who are comfortable in the water and can swim at least 25 yards without stopping.
- Focus: Building stroke fundamentals, breathing techniques, and basic turns.
- Goal: Build confidence, develop swim skills, and enjoy swimming for fitness.
Intermediate
Level
- For swimmers with some experience who are ready for more structured training.
- Focus: Improving stroke technique, introducing intervals, and developing endurance.
- Goal: Enhance efficiency, strength, and consistency in the water.
Advanced/Masters
Level
- Designed for experienced swimmers, triathletes, and competitive athletes.
- Focus: High-intensity, performance-driven sets with goal-based training.
- Goal: Prepare for Masters swim meets, open water events, triathlons, or Ironman competitions.
Everyone trains together, and our coaches provide individualized guidance during each practice to help you train at the level that’s right for you. Whether you're here for fitness, skill improvement, or competition, MAC Masters has a place for you.
