Fort Wayne Y Masters is an adult swim team with members who love to practice, train, compete, and support each other. We come from all walks of life and everyone brings different values to the table. We are a group of new swimmers, former competitive swimmers, triathletes, and people who enjoy working out together. We’re all about fun, encouragement, growth, and competition. Our experienced coaches train our members to reach their highest potential while always enjoying the workout. Our team was established in 2014 at the Jorgensen YMCA, and expanded in 2019 to the Jackson YMCA.
