For insurance reasons, you must be registered with either USA Swimming (age-group swimming) or USMS (US Masters Swimming) to be able to swim with us, even on a pay-as-you-go basis. COMSA (Colorado Masters Swimming Association - a registered representative of USMS) registration is available from www.COMSA.org. The registration fee is $35.00 a year for 2007.
There are many benefits to joining COMSA. One of the most important is the offering of secondary accident insurance to all registered swimmers and liability coverage for the club. Registration also includes a subscription to USMS SWIMMER, the official swim magazine for Masters swimmers and COMSA has a quarterly newsletter. The membership also allows you to swim with other registered clubs across the country when travelling.

Weekday mornings . . . Tuesday and Thursday mornings, 5:30am-7:00am Practice will start again on August 21, 2008 at Pueblo County High School (not August 19, 2008 due to over chlorination of pool).
Monday & Wednesday, 5:30pm - 7:00pm Last practice June 2, 2008 It seems the YMCA is not providing the evening Masters swim as indicated in their brochure. So, check back in the fall when the schools are open.
Saturday, 7:00am - 9:00am Saturday practices should start up again on August 23, 2008! Thanks Cecil!!!! Most Saturdays we gather for breakfast (or just coffee) at Musso's after practice
The focus and intensity of workouts depends truly upon the individual and lane group decisions. We utilize all strokes (free, back, breast and fly) but many of us began with the group not being able to use 1 or more of those strokes. So don't be intimidated by the need to learn. Learning is the pleasure we seek to cultivate. For new folks there is also getting to learn the jargon of
swim workouts. Those of us who did not do age-group swimming as kids had to
learn this. Don't worry. It becomes comprehensible |

The Nature of our Workouts: The use of the word
"workouts" could be a misnomer, especially for anyone who is a first-timer in
swimming with a Masters group. We do not just get into the pool and thrash
away, though our coaches have certainly been able to help you achieve a
supreme state of tiredness if that be your wish. We have had people
from the beginning stages of learning to float and breathe properly while in
the water. We sometimes devote a workout to just technique
drills.
