Want to improve your swimming before your next Tri?  Check out Brooklyn's newest masters swim team.  Well, not so much a new team as a modified team.  For the last two years we've been the Dodge YMCA Masters Team, but now that the Y has decided they don't want to continue with a masters team, we're moving on.

We are working on a deal with Long Island University to use their pool (at the corner of Flatbush and DeKalb) three mornings a week -- most likely Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:00 - 8:30 am -- and we hope to have that finalized soon.   Before we can do that, however, we need to make sure the team will have enough members to be able to survive.  So if you˘re interested in working out with us at LIU, please email either me or info@....

Workouts fees have not been finalized yet, but we anticipate they will be between $10 and $15 per workout, with discounts for those who pay for multiple workouts in advance.  All workouts will have an expert coach on deck, and at least one workout a week will be led by our head coach, Conrad Johnson, who is also the head coach of TNYA and the McBurney YMCA Masters Team.  You do not need to commit to anything, or send any money yet, but we need to know your level of interest as soon as possible in order to get this team started.
