Frequently Asked Questions

Which adult swim program is right for me?

In the interest of safety, and to make sure swimmers at all levels are getting the attention they need and deserve, we have a fitness requirement for joining our adult swim team. The minimum fitness requirement is the ability to comfortably and continuously swim 50 yards freestyle with side breathing, 25 yards backstroke or breaststroke, and 25 yards of flutter kick on the back.

How do I join?

Email our Head Coach, Megan Waters (she/her), at [email protected]. Let her know your name, swim background/skill level, and which program you're interested in. She will get back to you with registration instructions.

All QSS Masters members must be registered with United States Masters Swimming (USMS), the national organization for adult swimming. While you are waiting to hear back from Coach Megan, go ahead and join USMS or renew your USMS membership. LMSC: Pacific. Club: Quicksilver.

Can I try it out first?

For swim team, you get a free trial of TWO workouts. Let Coach Megan know which practice(s) you want to attend. Some of our facilities have gate codes or other restrictions.

There is no trial period for Adult Learn-to-Swim classes or private lessons.

What is the cancellation policy?

For swim team participants, billing is automatically processed on the 1st of each month. To cancel or place your account on hold, email Coach Megan at [email protected] at least 5 days prior to the 1st of the month.

For learn-to-swim participants, billing occurs at the time of registration. We do not issue refunds or allow make-up classes, except in the case where a class gets cancelled (e.g. unexpected pool closure, instructor falls ill, etc).
