Iowa Masters Swimming

Welcome to Iowa Masters Swimming!

We are competitive, recreational and fitness swimmers, ages 18 and over. We swim for life! Our national organization, United States Masters Swimming is an organization of over 40,000 men and women, offering fitness and competitive opportunities to all.

What is Masters Swimming?

Founded in 1970, Masters Swimming is part of United States Aquatic Sports (USAS), the governing body for amateur swimming in the United States. Swimmers age 18 and older are welcome to join and participate at whatever level they choose in this "lifetime sport." Masters range in ability from those just learning to swim to former collegiate and Olympic swimmers. There is a full schedule of local, national, and international swimming events for those Masters interested in competing. Some Masters choose not to compete, but join to enjoy the healthful benefits of swimming and to meet other active adults.

2010 Masters Championship, Fort Lauderdale, FL, April 15 - 18, 2010

In 2010 for the first time, the YMCA National Masters Meet will offer the opportunity for YMCA Program Members (Non Y Members) to compete in the YMCA Masters National Meet.

We would like to share some exciting rule modifications related to eligibility for swimming at the YMCA Masters National Championship. The attachment describes in detail the changes to this rule. Please share this with any staff or volunteers that have an interest in Masters Swimming. The modifications were developed from interest and changes that have occurred over the past decade, and our Task Force proposed the new eligibility requirements. Last year, we had 650 swimmers compete
in a fun environment at the Fort Lauderdale Aquatics Facility.

2010 YMCA Masters National Championship - April 13-16, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Synopsis:

More than 50 years after landmark civil rights decisions opened schools and voting booths, fewer than 1% of competitive swimmers in the U.S. are black and Latino. Parting the Waters is the story of African-American championship swimmers Maritza Correia and Cullen Jones, and the young black and Latino swimmers coming up behind them –– as they challenge old myths, fears, and stereotypes to break down the last vestiges of segregation.
