The Milky Way Masters Swim Team is a group of people from the Cedar
Rapids, IA area that get together for swimming and is open to anyone who wants to participate. Its purpose is to offer training for Masters Swimmers on a year-round basis for novice and experienced swimmers. We have a wide range of abilities and accommodate everyone’s needs. It is an ideal place for people wanting to improve their abilities for triathlons or for beginning swimmers with no competitive experience. The group includes over 80 swimmers from the area, with typical practices bringing about 30 people together to work out. What we all have in common is the desire to maintain fitness, improve as individual swimmers, and enjoy each other's companionship.

The team workouts are on Monday – Wednesday – Friday from 5:30am to 6:30am and on Saturdays from 6:00-8:00am. The M-W-F workouts have an on deck coach to help with stroke technique and to give a work out. If you like to swim on your own then the two outside lanes can be used for that.
