Peak to Peak
Masters' Swim Team
Who can join?
Anyone! Some swimmers will swim for fitness and others for competition. Some will just be learning how to swim and others will be brushing off collegiate swim caps. Practices range between 2,000 and 5,000 yards and are triathlete friendly. It is up to the swimmer to decide how much of a workout they will swim and what their reason for swimming will be.
