Columbia Masters is an adult-oriented swim program combining instruction with competitive training. Columbia Masters is great for athletes, competitive swimmers and fitness swimmers with dedicated lanes and professional coaching at every practice.
Requirements for the Masters Swim Program
The Masters Swim Program is an adult-oriented swim program combining instruction with competitive training. The program is not swim instruction — coaches will be on-deck providing feedback and instruction, rather than in the water.
All participants must be a CA member with access to the Columbia Swim Center. Additionally, all participants must be a USMS member (fee extra), which can be done online. Our club code is COLU.
Pricing information
The CA Masters Swim Program costs $50/month, regardless of how many practices/sessions a participant attends each month.
The program costs $40/month for CA employees.
All participants must become USMS members, which requires an additional fee not paid to CA.
Getting Started/First Practice
We want to make sure you love the Masters Swim Program as much as we do before you put down any money!
For questions or interest, please contact Mariana Orellana (mariana.orellana@columbiaassociation.org) for more information about the program and scheduling. For your first practice, you can try out the program to see if it’s a good fit before registering. The first practice does not require any fee or commitment to register. After giving it a try, participants who want to register for the Masters Swim Program can follow up with Mariana to complete the registration process.
We look forward to seeing you at the pool!
