Charlevoix Masters Swim Team

The Charlevoix Masters is a year-round adult swim team for the young at heart.  Any adult, 19 years of age and up, is eligible to join at any time of the year.  Varying levels of competition are available to provide a challenge for everyone.  The workouts are designed with the beginner, intermediate and advanced swimmer in mind.  Weekday practices are facilitated by the coach, with personal attention to strokes and techniques.  Practice sessions not only offer a physical challenge, but an opportunity to work out with peers and friends who share common interests of camaraderie and motivation, goal-setting, and training in a supportive environment for personal success.
