Member 8 | Subject: North Atlanta Masters I'm looking for a good coached and active masters swimming program in the Roswell, Milton, Alpharetta area. Specifically looking for something that starts around 6am ET. I swam with the Fowler YMCA masters years ago, but I'm not sure if it is still active. Tried Dynamo, Alpharetta, and it was more of an independent swim. Are there any good programs out there that folks would recommend? |

76 | Subject: RE: North Atlanta Masters I'm interested in this too. I usually swim at the fowler ymca and can see the board they put the sets for masters. Not ever having been to a class and really only knowing how to freestyle, it looks intimidating. Seems like they use all the strokes. I have heard that dynamo chamblee masters is mostly triathletes and the girl that holds the record for IM swim time swims there, but not sure which session. Also, if I can add a question about masters -- do I need to learn all the strokes to go to one? I know to expect different sets of sprint type drills. Is there anything else I should know not to really embarrass myself. ( I already would embarrass myself with just lack of speed). |

Member 8 | Subject: RE: North Atlanta Masters Based on what you said, it sounds like Fowler still has an active program. I'll check back in there. When I swam there about 10 years ago, it was all strokes and we swam in a few meets. Now I'm more interested in Triathlons so I prefer freestyle. |

Master 2638 | Subject: RE: North Atlanta Masters I swam with Swim Atlanta Roswell Masters this spring and it was fun. The workouts averaged 3300 yards and with little exception we each had our own lane. The other swimmers all also swam with the Roswell Rapids adult summer league. Coach Kyle gave stroke pointers and yelled encouragement as well as writing the workout and playing the radio for us. I was the slowest person there (my 100 free sprint time is in the 1:30 range, maybe a little less), and my strokes were not amazing, but it was fun to try to keep up with the fasties. I got a GREAT workout. It is better to have a working knowledge of all of the strokes for this group, though. If you want more information about the Roswell pool, call the phone number and speak with Sabrina. The email for Coach Kyle does not always work. |

Extreme Veteran 448 Atlanta | Subject: RE: North Atlanta Masters Bcestes: Sorry for the late reply here. When did you go to the Masters workout in Dynamo Alpharetta? I ask because I am the NEW Masters coach for the morning group (5:30-7am) in Alpharetta. I started late August when the pool reopened, so hopefully you checked it out before then, otherwise let's chat offline so I can get your perspective and improve the program. Dynamo Alpharetta has 2 Masters programs So I highly suggest you come out and give Dynamo Alpharetta a second try. You get the first 3 or so sessions for free. My name is Andrew Shanks, hope to see you on deck! Also follow up with me if you have any follow up questions. |

Here's some answers to your questions. Also read my reply to the OP about the Alpharetta location for Dynamo. Let me know if you have any other questions. |

Member 8 | Subject: RE: North Atlanta Masters Andrew - I tried Dynamo Alpharetta over a year ago. It sounds like there have been some good changes and I'll give it another try. Thanks. |

76 | Subject: RE: North Atlanta Masters Thank you for the answers! I will try it at one of the dynamos probably in December. Getting ready for my last race in a few weeks so I am just hanging on right now and then just need some time off from pushing hard -- it has been a long season, thanks again! |
