Welcome to the Magic City Masters Swimming Home Page.  Magic City Masters is for anyone who wants to improve their swimming abilities.  Our goals are to have fun, improve our swimming technique, learn new skills, get faster, and meet people who are like minded. 

Who can be a Masters Swimmer?  ANYONE.  Masters Swimming is open to anyone 19 years of age or older who knows how to swim. Our club is made up of all types of swimmers, from former college athletes, to rising and experienced triathletes, to recreational swimmers, to folks just wanting to stay in shape and do something that will not pound their body.

Our coach is John James.  He has been coaching Magic City Masters since 2001.  His experience includes coaching age group swimmers and swimming competitively for over 15 years.  Workouts typically include swim sets, kick sets, pull sets and drills to improve technique.  There are multiple workouts available at each practice so that all levels of skill can be met.
