What is Masters Swimming?
Masters Swimming is a successful blend of fitness and competitive swimming for adults (18 years of age and over). The regular structured workouts use techniques of interval training in an atmosphere of fun, fitness, friendship and participation! Individuals who find it difficult to stick with a self-imposed, keep-fit routine will find it easier to maintain a Masters Swimming program.
Who can join DASC Masters?
Anyone 18 years of age or over who has basic swimming ability and can comfortably swim a few lengths of the pool. It is NOT necessary to have previous experience in competitive swimming. Practices are held Mon/Wed/Fri 5:30-7:00a.m. and 11:30-12:30p.m. at the Denton Natatorium. You may come to as many practices a week as you wish or schedule allows. The monthly fee is $45.00. Please email coach.amy@daswimclub to request more information if needed.
Does eveyone compete?
No! Most Masters swim for fitness, gaining stroke improvement and motivation from the instruction a coach provides. Members join for their own reasons, participating in various club activities only if they wish to. Progress can be a measure of increased distance swum, fewer rest periods needed to finish a distance or a general feeling of well-being after a workout.
Do I have to be a member of US Masters Swimming to compete?
Yes, all COMPETITORS, ( you do not have to be a USMS member to practice) at sanctioned pool and long distance meets must be members of US Masters Swimming.
