Colorado Masters Swimming is for you if you want to:

• Share and enjoy your swimming with others.
• Improve your overall fitness.
• Improve your swimming technique.
• Become stronger.
• Reduce stress.
• Have the opportunity to swim in meets as an individual swimmer or as part of a team.

You need to be 18 or older. All ages over 18 are welcome!

It’s one of the main reasons so many join and stay in Masters. It’s a great way to get in shape and stay in shape — and have fun doing it. 

Masters swimmers range in abilities and interests from lap swimmers and fitness swimmers to competitive minded swimmers and triathletes. Regardless of your swimming ability and swimming interests, you will be with other swimmers who share your enjoyment of swimming. 

Masters Swimming offers a motivating environment for swimming regularly, improving your stroke, and a chance to get to know other swimmers. It’s up to you whether you stay self-coached or join a group. 

No. About half of the members of the Colorado Masters don’t compete in swim meets. It’s your choice. Colorado Masters and COMSA hold numerous meets and open water events annually. Whether you’re ultra-fast, sort of medium, or not fast at all, you’ll find others with similar abilities and desires at each of these events. 

We encourage you to join a workout group for camaraderie, coaching, and commitment. 

HRMS Masters team requires a separate annual membership with US Masters / COMSA. Learn more at USMS.org or e-mail Kerri McGrath at Kerri.McGrath@hrcaonline.org.
