This course now accommodates swimmers who have already taken our Stroke and Efficiency Clinic in the past and/or have a good background in swimming. The course runs in 8 week blocks (16 swim sessions) and continues all year long so athletes can swim on a continuous basis..

One track will focus on improving an athlete's comfort level and efficiency in the water. This program will focus on skill development and body position, as well as work on freestyle stroke mechanics through a series of swimming drills and exercises. Athletes will also be introduced to other strokes. No background in swimming is necessary but participants should be able to swim a minimum of 25 yards without interruption. Upon completion, athletes will have comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the drills and routines associated with a masters swim program. They should feel comfortable and at ease in any swim training environment.

The second track will review the drills and proper technique, but will also build on the athlete’s endurance and improve their swimming fitness. The workouts will be challenging but fun and will give the swimmers a chance to train in a positive atmosphere.

During the spring and summers sessions (pending weather) we will meet for an open water workout.  These sessions will take place at Mansfield Dam Park and prior notice will be posted for the workout dates.

Swim classes meet at the Balcones Pool, 12017 Amherst Drive unless otherwise noted on the Workout Location Page. ( Map Link)

Take the Duval exit from Mopac, head west approximately 2 blocks to the first light.  Turn right at the first light on to Amherst and the pool is located on your right.

Swim at 8:00 a.m. and then bike ride following at 9:15 a.m.

Open to anyone.  Meet at the shallow end of Barton Springs at 8:00 a.m. for an informal swim workout.  This is NOT a coached workout.  It is merely a chance for athletes to get together and do some open water swimming. 

After the swim we will get dressed and head out for a bike ride starting at 9:15 a.m. from the entrance to Barton Springs Pool.   The bike will be on your own, with other athletes there, but will not be a supported bike ride.  You are fully responsible for bringing your own supplies necessary for the ride.  The ride will be however long you are planning to go that day and wherever you would like to ride.  It's a great opportunity to ride with others and you can make your own decision on routes.

Please note: We typically don't swim if there's been a large rain storm prior to the morning of the swim, if there is thunder/lightning in the immediate area or the temperatures are EXTREMELY below freezing (ex: low 20's).  Make the call for yourself in terms of weather as we will not be posted updates on this workout being cancelled.  It's completely informal and your own personal decision.

You can also check the status of Barton Springs being open (when large amounts of rain or flooding has occurred) by calling their main phone line: 476-9044
