Raise the Bar Swimming
Summer Session Signups happening Now! June 1 - August 31
Coached Swim WorkoutsIf you are looking to improve your triathlon swimming skills or race times, then investing some time at the pool is a must. RTB’s coached swim workouts are designed to improve technique and build speed and endurance. The workouts are primarily freestyle and include warm-up, drills, main sets, and cool-down. All RTB swim coaches have years of experience in both swimming AND coaching. The workouts are similar to a master’s swim workout program without the requirement of a USMS membership (US Masters Swimming) or a Raise the Bar Membership. Though, an RTB membership will save you about 15%.
Please Note: If you use up your purchased swims before the session ends and want to continue coming, please do - no pre-approval required. You'll be invoiced for those extra swims at your original per-swim price at the end of the session. Swims don't carry over to the next session - so use them up! RTB members enjoy a 15% discount on package pricing. A team member who pays $119 for a membership gets that back in as little as 4 sessions. Of course there are many other benefits members enjoy which will you can learn about here. Please consider joining Raise the Bar! |

These workouts are best suited for athletes who can swim 50 yards or more continuously. If you're there or not far from it, sign up! What to bring? Goggles are a must have and most people use a swim cap as well. If you own your own paddles, fins and swim buoy, bring them too. Periodically the coach will have you use them during a workout though it's never mandatory to do so. There are some supplies at the pool for public use. Many swimmers enjoy swimming in Core Shorts. If you need any gear, head to Northwest Tri and Bike in Kent. Who's Coaching?
