Levels

Newbie

This is our largest category of swimmers and triathletes, accounting for 63% of our membership. They need: skill development, general improvement, confidence, effective workouts, and specific fitness. They may be timid or think “I can’t do those workouts.” They receive more hand-holding. None are “Race Ready”. Some are anxious about open water swimming or had negative experiences. We have a place for you!

Capable

This athlete has some experience; swimming either solo, or with a Masters group. They account for 25% of our membership. They may have done a triathlon. They are somewhat seasoned, but seeking additional refinements, optimal comfort, effective training, and better stroke mechanics while needing more “Race Ready” prep for pool and open water. We have a place for you!

Accomplished

This group has experience, is skilled, and generally “Race Ready”; they account for 12% or our membership. They are the pros, the competitive age-groupers needing additional coaching refinements for an edge. They can still improve through effective racing strategies and enhancing their athletic IQ in open water and pack tactics. They need optimized training sessions for both pool and open water. We have a place for you!
Must be able to swim 200 yards continuously, breathing to the side with your head in the water.
