Adult Swimming & Masters

 

Masters coaches can help improve your swimming and help you stay in shape!

 

West Austin Athletic Club offers many opportunities for pool time for adults to swim laps, improve stroke technique, stay in shape, swim in a master's program, cross train with another sport, rehabilitate after surgery or injury, or train to swim competitively in swim meets or triathlons.  We welcome adult swimmers of all abilities !

Adult WAAC members can swim laps whenever the club is open.  Additionally, we have a Masters/Triathlete Classes Monday-Friday 5:45-7:15 am,  Monday-Friday 7:00-8:15 am,  M-Th noon-1pm, and MW 6:30-7:30 pm.  Coaches  provide a customized swim workout and stroke instruction at the early morning and noon workout times.  Several work outs are written on the white board which can be utilized by swimmers during the day and workouts are provided in drawers in the breezeway.  Individual WAAC memberships are available whereby swimmers have access to WAAC's heated pools, fitness room and other facilities.  Adult swim classes are free to WAAC members.  Non-members may come to the adult swim classes by purchasing a card, 10 swims for $85.

The adults who swim at WAAC consist of all abilities from new swimmers and those who swim primarily for exercise to ex-college swimmers and swimmers actively competing in triathlons or masters swim meets.

Some of our adults choose to compete in master swim meets.  Our team is West Austin Aquatics and we are a registered United States Masters Swimming team. We have adults who participate in open-water swims, short-course/long-course meets, and triathlons.
