Masters Swim Workshops

Montecito
4/3/26 - 5/29/26

The Masters Swim Workshops are designed to be drop-in sessions for adult swimmers to get coaching on a stroke, turn, start, or finish.

It is recommended that participants have the ability to swim 50-100 yards comfortably. While the workouts can be tailored to ability level, this is not a learn-to-swim program.
