For insurance reasons, you must be registered with U.S. masters Swimming (USMS) to be able to swim with us, even on a pay-as-you-go basis. Colorado Masters Swimming Association (COMSA) - is our regional registered representative of USMS. Registration is available via www.COMSA.org. The registration fee for 2026 is $75.00.

There are many benefits to joining USMS & 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 SWIMMER, the official swim magazine for U.S. Masters swimmers. And COMSA has a quarterly newsletter focused on Colorado and regional activities. The membership also offers you the opportunity to join our swim club, and allows you to swim with other registered clubs across the country when traveling. As a USMS member you will have access to a vast web library of swimming techniques and skills videos.

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. We have had people from the beginning stages of lap swimming on up through "master". We sometimes devote a workout to just technique drills.

Of course, if you come with your own workout in mind, and if you can get a lane or half a lane to yourself, have at it!.

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, too. Don't worry. It becomes comprehensible after just a short time.
