The Masters Program is for adult swimmers. Adults can either focus on a competitive level or fitness level. Whitecaps Swim Club is a competitive swim club, but you don't have to compete to be part of the team! The daily goals for our swimmers are to have fun, improve fitness, develop stroke technique, encourage hard work and discipline, foster sportsmanship and create team camaraderie. Swimmers will also be instructed in the skills of competitive swimming.

 

Commitment

Swimmers commit to an entire swim season, either short course (Sep - Mar) or long course (Sep - Jun). Attendance to all practices is encouraged. Swimmers are encouraged to set personal goals. and are expected to compete in at least one swimming-related competition per year (i.e. open water swim, triathlon, etc.) which does not need to be affiliated with the swim club. 

​

Swim Practice

Dryland warm up on the pool deck allows swimmers to warm up their muscles and prepare for the pool workout. Swimmers are expected to be on deck for dryland warm up at 4:15 pm everyday. Attendance is taken and dryland warm up will be done as a team before entering the pool. Bring your towel on deck for dryland!

​

The pool workout starts promptly at 4:30 pm and ends at 6:00 pm Monday to Thursday, and 5:30 pm on Friday. Younger swimmers are welcome to , but not expected, to swim for the entire 1.5 hours. Training time will increase  gradually to match swimmers stamina at the discretion of the coach and discussed with parents. It is important for a parent or guardian to let the coach know if a swimmer has to leave early.
