How to find a swim club or training group

Add your main events, best times and pool or open-water preference. Squads set lanes by pace and event, so those details decide whether a session fits you.

Search the directory for clubs, masters groups and coaches in your city, then check the feed for squad schedules, trial sessions and open-water meet-ups.

Coaching, meets and open water

Coaches list their focus — technique, sprint, distance, triathlon crossover — so you can choose for the problem you actually have. Video of your stroke on your profile makes the first session far more useful.

Open-water swimmers use the feed to find company for specific sessions, which matters as much for safety as for pace.
