Charles River Aquatics Masters

Charles River Aquatics Masters Charles River Aquatics Masters offers training programs for all levels of dedicated 18+ swimmers & t

The goal at Charles River Masters is to create an enthusiastic training environment that provides mentally and physically stimulating workouts to a diverse group of athletes ages 18 and up. Whether you’re a first time swimmer or an Olympic medalist it is our priority to assure that each member, regardless of ability level, gets the most out of their investment and commitment to our program. Workou

ts are relatively short (60-90 minutes) and time is set aside for warm up and warm down. Variety is a huge component of the daily, weekly and monthly training plan. Workouts are designed to mix various speeds, strokes and repeat distances while providing the proper conditioning for all of our athletes regardless of their competitive background or focus (learning to swim, improving overall fitness, triathlons, open water events, sprint and distance). Sessions are planned to emphasize intensity and quality as opposed to pure volume. Do you want to swim long distances at practice, or do you want to train and condition yourself for distance events? Coaches will not write workouts comparable to something that could easily be done in a lap lane (long straight swims swam at a low HR). Longer repeat distances (500 yards or more) will be incorporated into the training plan but never for the sake of just increasing yardage.

A Passion For Swimming

Charles River Aquatics Masters is dedicated to creating an enthusiastic training environment that provides mentally and physically stimulating workouts to a diverse group of athletes ages 18 and up. Whether you’re a first-time Masters swimmer or an Olympian, it is our priority to assure that each member, regardless of ability level and experience, gets the most out of their investment and commitment to our program.

We currently offer 16 workouts a week that vary from 60-90 minutes. This includes time for warm-up and cool-down, as well as specialized sets, focused on drills and kicking. Variety is a huge component of the daily, weekly and monthly training plan as workouts are designed to mix various speeds, strokes, and distances. Our program is aimed at providing the proper conditioning for all of our athletes regardless of their competitive background or focus (developing technique, improving overall fitness, triathlons, open water events, sprint, and distance).

Practice sessions are planned to emphasize intensity and quality as opposed to pure volume. Do you want to swim long distances at practice, or do you want to train and condition yourself for distance events? Coaches will not write workouts comparable to something that could easily be done in a lap lane (long straight swims swam at a low HR). Longer repeat distances (500 yards or more) will be incorporated into the training plan but never for the sake of just increasing yardage.
