Masters Swimmers

All skill levels are welcome - from the fitness swimmer to the team member that is nationally competitive. North Carolina Aquatic Masters is the second largest team in the LMSC for NC. It practices in the Maurice J. Koury Natatorium on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus. North Carolina Aquatic Masters (NCAM) is a chapter of the large state club, North Carolina Masters Swimming (NCMS). Team members who compete within the state swim for NCAM, and outside the state for NCMS.

With 11 coached workouts per week, it usually isn't very difficult to find a routine that works with your other commitments. We have some parents that bring their children for the age group workout and squeeze in a masters workout when the times overlap. Our usual workout schedule includes the following:

Tue., Thur. Fri. 5:30- 7:00 AM
M, W, F 12:15- 1:30 PM
M, W 7:30 - 9:00 PM
Sun. 8:00- 9:30AM

See the calendar page for this months workouts and give us your email address (send us your email) so we can alert you of any last minute changes.

Most of the year the pool is configured for short course, 25 yards across. However in the late spring and summer the pool is usually set up for long course, 50 meters. The workouts are usually printed and tailored for three different groups:

A Group 4,200 to 5,200 yards or meters.
B Group 3,200 to 4,200 yards or meters.
C Group 2,500 to 2,800 yards or meters.

You choose your group to swim with and you will quickly get to know your "lane mates".

The workouts are varied and there is no pressure on anyone to do a particular workout. The meeting the goals of a workout is the choice of the individual. The coaching team may ask someone to move to another lane if they are too fast or too slow for the lane they are in . The typical mood of the group is to have a good time and to enjoy working hard. Our ages range from 19 year to 80+ and we represent all skill levels.
