Masters Swimming at Chinn Aquatics and Fitness Center
Welcome to the website for masters swimming at the Chinn Aquatics and Fitness Center in Woodbridge, VA. We offer five coached workouts per week, in addition to participation in competitive Masters swimming events. Masters swimming at Chinn requires swimmers to be registered United States Masters swimmers. Non-registered swimmers interested in swimming with our group are encouraged to read the information on this site, and are also asked to contact the head coach first before attending a practice session. For more information contact the coaches at chinnmastersswim@comcast.net.
Upcoming Practices:
Practice this week. (October 22-28, 2007) Great work by all last week! Coaches are impressed with the turn out for the sessions and the efforts you are making to improve your swimming technique, endurance and speed!
We will continue our focus on the George Mason Sprint Classic this week. Be prepared for some fast sets! We have all three coaches swimming the meet, and a good number planning to attend. Warm-ups start at 9 am and first splash goes at 10 am in the 100 IM. John, Connie and I will take times and provide on deck review of swims for our group. Mark Daniels is planning to document the fun with his extraordinary photo talents. Unfortunately, Ariel will not be there to take in and underwater photos as she did so well at the Lake Swim. If anyone would like to carpool, please let me know and we can arrange to meet and leave from the Chinn parking lot on Sunday morning.
For those of you not swimming the meet, John will post a work out on our Bulletin Board at Chinn for the Sunday practice. Chinn will know that you are there to swim with a workout on deck.
