The mission of the YMCA of Western North Carolina Piranha Master’s Program is to create a supportive and fun, yet challenging environment for adult swimmers (18+) to improve their skills, achieve their goals, and enjoy the camaraderie of teammates. We value teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship, and strive to be a positive force in our swimming community. What equipment will you need? We implement a variety of equipment into our style of workouts. Kickboards, fins, snorkel, pull buoys, paddles, parachutes will be the most used. Talk to the coach if you want recommendations relating to brands. Swimoutlet.com is a great resource.
This is NOT a learn-to-swim program. Swimmers must be able to swim at minimum 500 yards with relative ease. Our focus at WNCY Masters is on quality, not quantity. This is not a high volume based program, as our one hour workouts will rarely exceed 2500 yards. With that being said we can and will plan to work with athletes on specific training plans to prepare them for their goal events and competitions. We will work on improving speed, power, stroke efficiency, speed endurance, and anaerobic capacity while establishing mental toughness.
