Workout Schedule

Week of July 19th

Masters Swimming is a national program for swimmers ages 18 and over. The primary focus of Masters swimming is competition for the sake of competition, and swimming for the sake of swimming. Anyone who is able to comfortably complete at least 200 yards of continuous freestyle is encouraged to attend.

In the Lyon’s Masters program, we swim. Our pool has six dedicated lanes where the athletes can swim with fellow swimmers of similar skill and speed. There will be a dedicated coach who will write workouts geared towards training the swimmers for competition, while also taking into account the varying backgrounds of everyone. So, if a new member has little or no competitive swimming experience, they will be given workouts that focus on the fundamentals of competitive swimming, such as working on flip-turns, developing stroke technique, etc, while the more experienced swimmers are given workouts that train physical systems and prepare them for racing.

All Masters participants must belong to the USMS. You may get an application to join on the USMS website at www.ilmsa.com. Any questions, e-mail Coach Steve roesslercabinetry@gmail.com
