Subject: Masters Swim Programs in Dallas

Just curious what master's programs are available in the Dallas area, specifically close to Carrollton.  I know of DAM, LT fitness in McKinney but what else is there if anything.

 

Thanks

Dave Young runs North Texas Masters out of the the Lewisville ISD pool that is actually in The Colony.  It is near Morningside and 121.  He is there M-W-F from 5-6:30.  He has a great program, and I know others on this board that swim there as well.  I can get you more information if you PM me.

Not knowing what part of Carrollton you're in but I know that Plano Wetcats meet in two different places. The new recreation center by Plano West Senior High School (Preston / Parker) offers morning and noontime workouts. Also there are evening workouts two nights a week.

Right there with ya! Although, I would need something close to Las Colinas as I'll be working out there in a couple of weeks.

I looked into DAM, but for $60 a month I can't justify the cost. I would probably only be able to make 1-2 workouts a week if that. Swimming at the Carrollton natatorium is only $2 a pop.

If I could find a CHEAPER option than DAM I would be all over it... assuming I could make it the pool's location after work. There is no way I can make a 5:00 workout in Plano.

  but for $60 a month I can't justify the cost. 
I agree, that is why I have stayed away from there.  I can go to 24 hour fitness for $25 a month but I would like something structured.

Wetcats are $45/ monthly; $105/quarter; and $400/annually, but they have many swim time options.  For the new center referenced above in West Plano, the offerings are:

Tom Muehlenbeck Center
Monday, Wednesday, & Friday mornings:
5:15 am – 7:15 am
Monday – Friday noon:
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Tuesday & Thursday nights:
6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

North Texas Masters are only $35 a month (a bargain, in my opinion), but only only M-W-F AM options.  They have awesome locker rooms with showers, and equipment you can borrow (fins, kickboards, buoys)

The Masters fee will remain the same ($45/ monthly; $105/quarter; and $400/annually). You may pay at any Plano recreation center.

I just had a workout at the Tom Muehlenbeck Center (Preston / Parker) and the pool is a salt-water pool. Really nice not to have the harsh chlorine on the skin.

Oak Point Center

5:15 am – 6:30 am
6:30 am – 7:30 am
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Saturday mornings

Tom Muehlenbeck Center
Monday, Wednesday, & Friday mornings:
5:15 am – 7:15 am
Monday – Friday noon:
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Tuesday & Thursday nights:
6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

This schedule is for the remainder of the calendar year. You may practice at either or both facilities according to your preference. Invite others to join and workout with you.

Do you have to be a LTF member?? I am assuming so.  This has real potential also as it is only 5-10 minutes from my house.

You don't at Dave's Masters swim in Allen. It's more per month, but you can do it. Maybe they offer the same thing with TTT.

Well, with the Dallas Athletes, we use to swim at that LT Fitness and you didn't have to be a LT Fitness member to swim with the DA's there.

So basically you paid the $100 fee to DA and that was it.  If so that would be great.

Yep.

You will need to make sure they are still doing the North Dallas workouts though. But it worked out pretty nicely.

BTW- I live at Midway and George Bush. We are neighbors.

Thanks, I really hope the Texas Triple threat does the same thing because it is closer than the Coppell Aquatic center.

Yep, you live pretty close.  I am at Hebron and Josey.

I talked to Kristen with TTT this morning.  She said to e-mail her and she'll send the info on the tri club.  It's just a form that they want filled out.  It's $75/year and includes the group workouts and Master's swim.  You don't have to be a LTF member.  Master's swim is on Tuesday and Friday mornings.  Kristen's email is [email protected] . 

Texas Triple Threat will have a new website in January.  That site will include the tri club info.

We had 11 swimmers there this morning.  All with different swimming abilities.  Two coaches on deck.  They divide the lanes based on ability.  It's a good group.

I heard back from Kristen and she sent me membership forms and the newsletter if anyone is interested PM me and I will send them to you.

You can't beat $75/year especially if you go every Tues and Friday that is about $.75 each time.
