We have three different Masters training groups. They are mostly based on ability levels, along with desires and goals of the swimmer. You can decide what group you want to swim with based on your ability, goals, and the base interval each practice group is swimming.

White Group

White group swims 25-yard freestyle 100s on a base interval of 2:30. This means that if the coach has you swim a set of 5 x 100 on 2:30, you would swim 100 yards freestyle and start the next 100 when 2:30 has passed on the pace clock. So, if you swim the 100 in 2 minutes, you get 30-seconds rest before you start the next 100.

When doing stroke/IM sets, long distance sets, sprint sets, etc., intervals are adjusted accordingly.

This group does 2000-2800 yards per workout.
