Training Programs

Like our races, our training programs are designed for people of all athletic abilities and experience. It's a chance to learn something new, sharpen your skills or just meet new people. Most programs are seasonal so be sure to check back periodically for new opportunities.

SWIM

Winter Swim League

The intention of the Swim League is to build and grow a swimming community in WNC. All levels and abilities of swimmers will be training together in a friendly, cohesive, structured and coached group atmosphere.

The Winter Swim League will begin in early February (2025). The pool facility will be posted once we have finalized the location details. Sessions will be from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. Each swimmer will pay $5 at the door and will sign the group waiver at the start of every session. Registration will not be required, just show up ready to swim!
