Training

Sessions

Our coached sessions are open to any swimmer who is a member of a Masters Club. All coaching is by qualified Masters coaches. We train at the Aquarena Aquatic and Leisure Centre in the 50 metre heated outdoor pool, which is open year round.

The Club has 3 coached training sessions a week:

• Monday 6.30pm to 7.45pm

• Thursday 6.30pm to 7.45pm

• Saturday 8.30am to 10.00am

The club also runs swim clinics outside of the regular sessions to help swimmers improve specific skills such as turns, dive starts, relays, and short course (25m) racing.

There are a number of other times when club members swim together, such as the Aquanauts group sessions booked through Aquarena. The Club also participates in the Masters Swimming Australia Endurance 1000 program with training (not coached) on Wednesday 8.00pm to 9.30pm in the indoor pool. 

We also welcome swimmers from other clubs, feel free to contact us if you would like to join a training session.

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.

Training sessions usually involve the use of equipment such as fins, paddles, a kickboard, or a pull buoy. If you're thinking of trying out and don't have equipment, that's ok, you can borrow equipment for the session.
