Swim

The Team MMS swim program coordinates weekly swims (seasonal) and master swim programs. We take advantage of the indoor pool at the Bell Road YMCA during the cold months, but members swim at other locations as well. As of now, you have to be a member of the YMCA in order to use the pool. If you want, you can use the endless pool located at Montgomery MultiSport for $15 for 30 minutes. The cooler months are a great time to fine tune your swim technique with drills.  During the warmer months, we leave the pool and spend time on group open water swims. Be sure to join our email list so you can stay on top of the training schedule and workouts!  Group swims with informal instruction are free for members and individual coaching is available for additional charges.

If a triathlete swims 100 yards in 1.00 minute, as shown in the example at the top left, then the athlete can expect to cover 2.4 miles in 42 minutes and 14 seconds, as shown in the top right corner.
