Adult Learn-to-Swim (ALTS)

ALTS classes are best suited for adults who are comfortable getting into the water and submerging. We teach water safety skills like floating, air exchange, treading water, kicking, and basic freestyle and backstroke. Instructors certified through the United States Masters Swimming - ALTS Program lead the classes and are assisted by experienced members of our Masters (adult) swim team. Each class meets twice per week (Mon/Wed) and runs for six weeks at a time. 

For adults who are overcoming fear of the water, or who already swim freestyle with side breathing, we recommend pursuing private lessons instead of ALTS. You can email our Head Coach Megan at [email protected] to get matched with a private swim instructor.

You must complete both steps to be considered registered for the Quicksilver Masters ALTS Class. When there is a wait list for your selected class, your spot will be released if both steps are not completed within 48 hours. 

Step 1: Go to the Registration tab and select ALTS Classes. Pick a class location and time that works with your schedule, and add the class to your shopping cart. When you checkout, you will be prompted to create an account which will include emergency contact and payment information. Your account will be charged on the first day of class. 

Step 2: Visit the United States Masters Swimming (USMS) website, and sign up for an annual membership. USMS provides liability insurance coverage for all USMS-related events including ALTS classes and private lessons. ALTS instructors and students are required to be USMS members.

Introduction to Masters

The Intro to Masters class is best suited for graduates of our ALTS program, and adults who are comfortable swimming freestyle with side breathing but do not yet have the stamina to swim multiple lengths non-stop. This class will gradually build students' aerobic endurance and strength, teach the basics of backstroke and breaststroke, introduce common swim jargon and explain how to use the pace clock for fitness.
