Max Multisport Coaching Swim Team
Max Multisport's Swim Team swims weekly throughout the city of Chicago. Our program is open to women swimmers. Participants receive all three workouts each week via e-mail and are encouraged, but not required, to attend all group workouts. If you can only occasionally come to a group workout, check out our group punch card program. (note, during summer it is two workouts weekly emailed vs. three).
Coached by professional and certified coaches, this program is designed to develop a team atmosphere and incorporate strokes other than freestyle. If you desire, you can also compete in local master swim meets. In addition to stroke technique and fitness swimming, some of the workouts focus on turns, starts and relay starts. We also provide all athletes with dry-land and core exercises to improve overall swim strength. You will also learn drills for the additional strokes such as fly, breast and backstroke. 
Please note: This is not a learn-to-swim program. Please check out Max Multisport's swim class offerings for basic swimming fundamentals. We ask that you have capability of swimming at least 200 yards non-stop prior to joining this program or 8 lengths (and we typically cover 1500-1800 yards in beginner/intermediate lanes, 1800-3000+ yards in intermediate lanes, and 2600-4400 yards in advanced lanes).
We swim year round. You can jump in at anytime. We working on endurance and base in the fall months and then progress by incorporating speed. It is best to work with us in the fall months so you can develop endurance and a strong fitness base. During summer months we focus on triathlon specific or a mixture of endurance and speed workouts.
