WHACmasters

Looking for a place to swim with coaches who focus on technique? Looking to get your heart rate up and burn off some calories. Whether you are just looking to exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle, or training for a specific competition, WHAC is the place for you. Come swim outdoors in the beautiful Austin weather year round (we heat the pool in the winter and use aerators to cool it in the summer). We have coaches who balance the need to get a good workout with reinforcing good stroke technique. Whether you are a recreational swimmer or a former college All-American, we have a lane for you. Remember, Masters is an age designation, not an ability level. It is coached swimming for those age 18 and over.

All athletes need to register with US Masters Swimming in order to participate in the program. Go to usms.org to register. The team abbreviation is WHAC.

Training Options:

Semester - This is the best value. Swimmers can swim an unlimited number of practices within a semester. Most of our swimmers take this option.

Punch Card (10 swims) - Our second most popular option. Some athletes can only make it on weekends, or every third Wednesday at noon. At times our regular swimmers drop down to this if they are traveling a lot, say in the summer. Whatever the reason, we're just happy to see you when you're here.

One Month - Sometimes we get swimmers who are in town for a month, or have decided to train for an upcoming triathlon.

Need to re-register with USMS?

(The club code is WHAC.)

Youth Option:

For our High School swimmers who need some more practice time. We have registered the team with both US Masters Swimming and AAU, and are running a joint practice at the 7:00 am practice on Tuesday/Thursday mornings, and the weekend practices. Athletes under 18 need to register with AAU but will pay the masters program fees (including the team fee, and also the non member fee if applicable).

If you have any questions about the program, please feel free to contact WHAC General Manager Brian Albright at whac@sbcglobal.net or 327-6373.
