Mauna Lani Masters Swim Program
I love to swim as part of my fitness regime and appreciate the health benefits and friendships that I have developed over the years. Our group not only trains and competes together but we also participate in open water swims, surf and scuba dive adventures. A great combination of friends and water activities!
I can not be in a better location on the Big Island for access to a true lap pool. Like many of you, I swam on my neighborhood and high school swim teams as a youth. As an adult I have participated in several masters swim groups or swam on my own with friends for the past 30 years. Lap pools with lanes and gutters to absorb the wave splash are rare and are spread quite a distance apart on the Big island with one lap pool in Kona, 30 miles away and the other in Waimea 16 miles away at Hawaii Preparatory Academy. Coached masters swim groups are equally rare with the Waimea group meeting at 5:30 AM which makes for an early morning, cold workout with low temperatures at 2500’ of elevation.
