Training

Sessions

Our coached sessions are open to any swimmer who is a member of a Masters Club. We frequently welcome swimmers from other Melbourne clubs, and have regularly welcomed swimmers from overseas countries who have been holidaying in Australia.  All coaching is by qualified Masters coaches.

The Club has 3 coached training sessions a week. As of 1st January 2023 these are:

The Club also participates in the Masters Swimming Australia Endurance 1000 program

There are also a number of other times when club members swim together as a group.

Coached Session Fees

In addition to your annual membership fee the Dolphins training sessions cost $5.00 per coached session. This fee helps cover the costs of paying our coaches and other overheads.  Rather than paying cash each time, the club has a system of prepaid swim tickets.

To purchase a ticket you make an electronic funds transfer of $50.00 for 10 sessions (or $100.00 for 20 sessions) to the club's bank account and put printed receipt in the tin in coaches box, and collect a new ticket to punch every time you swim on pool deck.  

Tickets are non-refundable.
