Masters Swim

Nir Family YMCA

Training for a triathlon? Just want to get back into the swim of things? Cape Fear Aquatic Club Masters Swim is a competitive swim program for numerous types of swimmers: beginners, seasoned triathletes, lap swimmers, and those who just want a group workout. We encourage our athletes to travel and compete in Masters Swim meets throughout the state and country.

Through our Masters Swim program, we offer two coached swim practices each week. Practices will have up to 6 lanes for participants to circle swim in our 6-lane pool. Coached practices will run just as a normal swim practice would. Our coaches will help you improve your techniques and push you to become stronger and smarter in the water.

These classes are ideal for all fitness levels including non-swimmers.
