Striper Swimming  

Individual focus on improving stroke technique is part of the story.  Specific and measurable goals with progress charted are more of the story. Challenges which include swim meet preparation and readiness are encouraged, but optional.  Need to know more?  Parties and social times.  Mutual support. 

If your goals do not include competition, Masters will still address your personal needs, and help improve your swimming in an enjoyable team environment. Gains in aerobic fitness, flexibility and strength are a sure thing.
