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@brooklynswim. org.
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.
