ABOUT RRM

    Red River Masters (RRM) swimming welcomes swimmers of all different ability levels.  "Masters" only means ages 18 and above, with no inference to swimming experience or ability.  We have a range of ability levels from people mastering basic swimming skills (some started with us walking up and down the pool) to those nationally ranked in their age group.  Since 2005, we are pleased to have brought over 60 individuals from a thrashing "shark attack victim" style of swimming with capability of 25 meters or less to swimming at least a mile in a workout.  This transformation usually takes 4-6 weeks.  We try to equally encourage those that might be embarrassed to be seen in a swim suit to those who aspire to be Ironmen/women as well as pool competitors.

    RRM offers workouts for multiple ability levels, from the neophyte to the former collegiate swimmer, and enjoy helping our members improve and achieve their fitness goals.   People with the following interests have sought us out to help with their swimming:

• general fitness
• triathlons
• swimming competition
• achievement of a specific employment qualification
• injury recuperation
• bulge battlers
  

We offer on-deck coaching at all workouts from individuals with many years of swimming experience.  This keeps your workout on track, provides direction for technique and fitness improvement, and motivates you.
