Hi – I am new to the swimming community and I am interested in joining this club. I have started swimming in preparation training for a couple triathlons this summer and I was wondering at all of the designated swimming times is coaching available for everybody? i.e. if i am struggling will coaches be on hand to give tips to improve technique and form etc?
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi,
I am visiting from England to attend a conference in Calgary and wondered if I could join a masters session (or two) during my stay (Sunday – Thursday). I am 53.
Kind regards,
David
Certainly David. Our schedule is here: http://cmsc.ab.ca/events/category/practice/
Try to arrive about five minutes before practice and say hi to the coach.
Who do you swim with back home?
David, Simon says he will be at practice tomorrow. Will you be joking in us at 9:30?
Hi there, I am visiting Calgary this summer and moving there next year. I am hoping
to see your schedule and drop in for a few workouts? I swim with Nepean Masters in Ottawa currently. Thank you, Monique
I will soon be posting the schedule for the summer which you will find at http://cmsc.ab.ca/events/
Hope we see you in the pool with us!
Hi there,
I will be moving to Calgary from Victoria BC in January, and I was hoping to swim with the team (hopefully this is possible given the one year membership). I’ve never swam with a club, but I swam competitively with my high school and made it to provincials under the novice category. I also do laps on my own twice per week.
Thanks!
Valery

Hi,
I have been swimming casually for the last several years at a couple local pools and also did some swimming in some life-guarding courses. I however don’t know how to do the butterfly kick or flip turns and was wondering if you guys teach this as well. Could I start attending sometime in January?
Thanks,
Douglas

Looking to join Calgary Masters Swimming Team in January 2016
Hi. I was wondering what “associate membership” entailed. I don’t see any explanation, nor any way to join as an associate. Thanks,
Dean
Hi, I just saw in your schedule that there is a Sunday outdoor swim at Bowview pool starting June 26.
Would it be possible to just sign up for the outdoor swim session?
I swum with See Hiker in Vancouver and Grant Molyneux (Total Immersion coach) here in Calgary. Anyhow for the last two years or so I just swum on my own and would love to change that.
Best, Beate
Hi,
I am visiting Calgary for a couple of weeks in July. I’m a member of Pointe-Claire Masters in P-C, QC. Would I be able to join you for a few practices?
Thanks,
Kristin
Hi Kristin,
We look forward to seeing you! Be on deck about 10 minutes before practice and introduce yourself to the coach. You’ll just have to pay the drop-in fee to use the Talisman facility.
Our schedule is at http://cmsc.ab.ca/events/category/practice/
Thanks!
I am looking for a swim club with afternoon times. Are there still openings for this time with your club.
I swam with the Leaping Dogs group last year, out of SAIT.
I enjoyed training with them but the Friday evening time slot was not the best and I am looking to train twice a week.
Thanks
Barb
