Masters swimmers are adults who come in all shapes,
sizes, ages, talents, goals and skills. Some have lifetime
swimming backgrounds, some have started recently in the adult
programs, and some are even self-taught. All share a love
of swimming and a dedication of fitness through
swimming. We welcome fitness swimmers, competitors and
triathletes.
Practice
Any Master swimmer can attend any of the weekly practices
and find appropriate challenges with others. Swimmers of
similar skill are sorted by speed and stamina into
different lanes.
Competition
Although Masters swimming was first started for competition,
racing is not required. Your fitness is the primary goal!
The participants find that competing in swim meets, open water
races, or triathlons provide an exciting challenge!

that sponsors a wide variety of local pool meets, open
water swims, fitness activities and social events. It
publishes a team newsletter (ComaMotion) and website www.comaswim.org for more
