The Sports Center at Chelsea Piers

Masters Swim Team

Members of the Chelsea Piers Masters Swim Team can participate in 7 weekly 1-1/2 hour workouts led by our staff of six experienced coaches who utilize the most current teaching and training techniques. A typical workout can be anywhere from 2,200 - 6,000 yards depending on the speed of the swimmer and the emphasis and make up of workout - i.e. technique, drills, sprints, strokes, kicking, pace work/endurance freestyle, etc.

Most members of the CP Masters Team had at least some competitive swimming experience prior to joining the team, but many did not. Though the Masters Team is not the right venue for people who are learning to swim, it's the place to come if you want to swim better. A general rule of thumb for 'qualifying' for the team is to be able to hold a pace of 2 minutes per 100 yards freestyle for at least 400 yards. Some proficiency in the other strokes is a plus, but not required. If you are uncertain whether or not the team is a good fit for you, please arrange to visit a practice and speak with one of our coaches.
