Group Pool Swim Coaching

Train for fitness, for a triathlon, an open water swim, or any other competition.  Pool workouts are held on an ongoing year-round basis.  Location times and schedule may vary by season, but click the button below for our most updated schedule.  Our participants come in all ages, abilities, and experience levels.  Only prerequisite is that you should be able to complete a 25 meter lap of the pool without stopping.  Prior to that, we recommend “Private Lessons.”  Kids under 14 years old must have a parent on deck to supervise.

Open Water Training

We have lifeguarded open water training swims available at multiple locations, from April 1 through October 31. No prior open water experience is necessary, but swimmers must be confident in their ability to swim a 300-400 yard course without stopping for assistance. All swimmers must wear a bright colored cap or a New Wave Swim Buoy. NWSB is mandatory for anyone who has never completed an open water swim before. We generally have buoys available for sale, or to borrow
