About Us
We’re a U.S. Masters Swimming club for adult lap swimmers that aren’t afraid to get a little water up their noses. We train together three times a week and sure, we chase fitness and fast times – but mostly we’re here for the laughs, traditions, and excuses to hang out in the water. Come for the workouts, stay for the camaraderie (and the post-practice snacks).
Where We Swim
We swim at the “temporary” Belmont Pool, where practice starts under an open sky framed by palm trees. Some mornings we’re treated to a sunrise that turns the water gold, other mornings it’s just us and the good old gray marine layer. Either way, the lanes fill with splashes, laughter, and a team that makes every practice feel like the best way to start the day.
Open Water Swimming
Some of us can’t resist the call of the ocean – be it racing, training, or pretending cold water is “invigorating”. Every summer our open water swimmers compete in race events, including the HB Pier Swim and Naples Island Swims. But the most unshakable Sea Monkeys swim year-round, no wetsuit. Are you up for the challenge?
USMS Swim Meets
Got a competitive streak? Love the thrill of a swim meet? So do we! Eat our bubbles at the regional and national USMS sanctioned competitions, but it’s never just about times and medals. It’s about cheering each other on, sharing laughs on deck, and celebrating every personal best – because the best part of racing is doing it together.
Community
Swimming brings us together, but our friendships go far beyond the pool. We regularly gather at homes, beaches, and local spots to share laughs, celebrate milestones, and just enjoy a pint and some debauchery with the team. New members are always welcome – come join the fun and see what we’re all about!
