Looking forward to seeing many of you there. Please post a reply if you will be attending so I can give Lauren a tenative head count. Jamie My name is Lauren and I will be starting coaching for masters swimmers and triathletes this week. We will have practice at Central Connecticut State University Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 5-6:AM and Sundays from 3-4:30pm. If you are interested or have any questions please feel free to contact me at sonocomastersswim@yahoo.com. This program is for all levels and we will discuss what your goals are to base your training off of. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

A few of us swam with the Sonoco Masters program for years before it was disbanded (pre-HEAT days). For those new to Masters, a workout is posted and people split up into lanes based on ability. It's not a competition and there is no requirement to complete the workout. Typically there is less 1/1 "coaching" but you'll get a great workout. This is a good option for those who got shut out of the HEAT Y program. I believe the cost is $4 for a walk-in or you can get a program card for $45 for 15 swims. Really can't beat that price. NOTE -- The CCSU pool is a bit cold but that will make you swim faster.

The practice was 4000yds with a timed 500 in the middle. There was plenty of space with only seven or eight of us using six lanes. The water temp seemed perfect to me Vin. Hopefully, we will continue to increase turnout as the winter approaches. This is a great option for those shut out of the Y, or even for those looking for a two-a-day. Hi CJ -- yea -- actually they seem to be heating the pool this year. I agree - it's a great workout. I swam more last Sunday (about 3500) than I have in the past 2 month total. I plan to make most Sundays. Last Edited By: ctvinman 11/25/09 18:50:30. Edited 2 times.
