QSS Masters Swim Team

Our team is a friendly group of adults with a wide range of motivations for coming to the pool - to be social, to train for national-level competition and triathlons, to get in shape for summer vacation, to prove to themselves they can learn something new regardless of age. All swim team workouts are run by experienced coaches, who offer instruction on the latest techniques and write workouts that accommodate most levels of swim experience.

Fitness Requirement:

The minimum fitness requirement to join our adult swim team is the ability to comfortably swim 50 yards freestyle with side breathing, 25 yards of backstroke or breaststroke, and 25 yards of flutter kick on the back. If you cannot yet do this comfortably, please see the Adult Learn-to-Swim tab.

Swimmers at this level of skill are considered beginners. The mid-morning and evening workouts are the most beginner-friendly.
