What is a Master’s Swim?
A structured, continuous swim workout coached to help you build endurance and efficiency.
Workout Structure
Expect a mix of technique drills and continuous swimming designed to improve form and stamina.
Not a Swim Lesson
These are coached workouts, not instructional lessons—focused on training, not basic skill development.
Distance & Duration
Swimmers cover an average of 1,500 – 3,000 meters per session, typically lasting 60 to 90 minutes.
Lane Assignments
Athletes are grouped by pace, ranging from ~1:00/100m to ~2:30/100m, so you’ll swim with peers of similar ability.
Stroke Focus
Most sets emphasize freestyle, but all four strokes (free, fly, back, breast) may be included—though not required.
Built for All Levels
Newer swimmers can take rest breaks or leave early while building up endurance for the full workout.

"The Mightyman Montauk Triathlon was by far the hardest and most rewarding thing I’ve ever done and I couldn’t be happier to have done it! The Empire Beginner Program comes with a group of incredible coaches to help guide and push you as well as a group of people who are in the same boat you are."
