South Bay Swim Team

This is an incredibly well organized and successful swim team. The coaches are top notch. They care about improving the skills of every student. There is no question as to why they continue to win league championships time after time. They have not only helped my son become a great athlete, but a more well-​rounded individual. The families of the swim students get very involved and are really friendly. I highly recommend this team to any one who is interested in having their child excel in swimming and have a good time doing it!

One thing I hate about gyms is how much of a loner activity it can be.
You go to the gym, you’re surrounded by tons of people, but no one interacts with each other beyond a, «hey can you spot me,» or a, «my God those shorts are short.» (What? I can’t be the only one!)
I miss the days of high school team sports when working out was as much social time as it was getting in shape. Well, that’s the sweet thing about masters clubs like this one.
You work out in a big group, you have a coach who gives you sets to do, and you get to chat with whoever’s in your lane.
The only bad side is that these people are hard core swimmers. I thought I was good. These guys are rockets in the water. Also, the whole session can be a bit instense for beginners. For instance, today we warmed up with 500 yards, then went straight into 2,000 yards free style.
But there is a fun side to the group. They have get togethers and there is a definite little community here. Just be ready to swim your ass off.
