Adult Swim Programs
Masters Swim
Nir Family YMCA | Wilmington, NC
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.
Water Aerobics
Adults looking to challenge themselves without stress on their joints or members who just enjoy the water can take advantage of our different water exercise classes. Instructors lead small groups through water aerobics, core strengthening and much more. Gain muscle conditioning and cardiovascular endurance from the aerobic choreography and water resistance. These classes are ideal for all fitness levels including non-swimmers.
Water Aerobics classes are included in YMCA membership, however, community members are welcome to join if they purchase a day pass.
