Hi Everyone!

I really hope someone can help me. I love swimming and would love even more to be able to be on the Mac swim team. Here is where the problem is-I have been on competitive swimming teams in the past so I know the sport well but it has been a few years since I competed so i am no longer in my best swimming shape. I am wondering if there is a way for me to be a part of the team so that I can train with them until I am in the appropriate form to compete or if there is some program I can join in order to train for this purpose. I would love so much to be on the team, I am good at the sport I just need to be back in the nest shape!

Thank you so much for your help!
Katelyn

Try the Masters swimming, three times a week, workouts led my a Mac swim coach assistant. Youll find the registration details in the athletics and rec guide in sept.

I have a side question: on the swimming schedule it says...Shallow end lengths, deep end lengths, long course lengths, leisure... what do they all mean? when is the time when I can just go to swimming pool and just chill? Teach myself how to swim and shit.
PS: some days the set-up has several of them together. Also how crowded is the swimming pool usually?

Thank you

if u wanna go there and try to learn how to swim. I should only go when shallow end lenghts, shallow and deep and leisure right? lol

[Katelyn999]

As for the Masters swimming, is that like Hamilton's swim club? would there be a lot of university aged people or just younger people?

I think you'd want to go to the leisure area. "Lengths" refer to laps, don't they? Doesn't sound like chillin' to me, haha

[Katelyn999]

Also, do they practice in the university pool?

Does anyone know of a website I can look at to find more information?

Thanks

I went in the slow lane today! Why does every fukin mid age or an old guy like to walk around naked in the change room? Wrap around a TOWEL for gods sake!

The old men are probably showing that they still have something to be proud of. Or, that it's not completely shrivled, at least.

I am on the Varsity swim team we have try outs during welcome week at some point.
I would recommend trying out, if you don't make the top 18 (18 guys and 18 girls make up the competitive team ) our coach still allows a few people to train with us if he thinks they have potential.

you can contact our coach here

Isn't there a junior varsity team for people who aren't fast enough to make varsity?
