Masters (adult/18 and Older) swim team practices are offered on specific weekday evenings and mornings year-round (no practice on federal holidays). There are no required workouts, and there are no tryouts. We do recommend that swimmers have the ability to swim at least 25-meters non-stop. These are not swim lessons, this are a swim-based workout. The first week is free, then you must register and pay a registration fee, due five times each year. You can join the masters (adult) practices any time during the year.
Masters (18 & Older) Practice Schedules (no practice on federal holidays):
How do practices work? The written practice is posted by each lane at the pool each day. The first 30-minutes, 5:00-5:30, is a self-directed warm-up. At 5:30 a coach steps in and directs the remaining part of the workout. All you need to do is show up and get started.
Youth swimmers already on the team may practice with the masters on a space-available basis. Note that these workouts are fitness based and are different from regular youth workouts. Elementary school-age swimmers must ask a coach prior to swimming, and will only swim the first 30-minutes of the workout. Youth swimmers may not swim the evening masters workouts on youth tryout days. Questions? Ask a coach!
Sample practices for the fastest level masters workout are here. The workouts are modified for swimmers not at that level. If you are an adult and you can swim 25 meters non-stop, you can start swimming with the masters!
We hope to see you at the pool!
Swim Team Payments may be made online or at the practice pool. A completed registration form is required to accompany payments. The form is available at the pool or download the form here: https://www.mccsokinawa.com/uploadedFiles/MainSite/Content/Recreation_and_Leisure/Aquatics/Swim_Team_Payment_Form_2019.pdf (two pages). You may turn in a completed form in advance (send your swimmer with it to practice) and stop by the pool to pay later. If you have registered for the prior season, your form is on file in the office and may be reused by the cashier. A new/updated form is required if there are any changes, at the start of each school year, and/or for the first season registering during that year.
Registration Fees
For billing purposes, we have five payment periods in 2020, each period starting on:

Payment Days & Times at the Pool
Payment Guidelines at the Pool
Lightning/Thunder Policy• If lightning or thunder occurs during practice, all swimmers will be moved into the locker rooms and practice is cancelled.• If there is a re-occurrence of lightning or thunder, the clock resets and the 30-minute count restarts.• If the swimmers return home on the buses, they may be able to depart earlier than normal, but that is not always possible pending the bus drivers' schedules.• If in doubt, contact the pool: Foster 50 - 645-2211 | 098-970-2211.Lightning/Thunder at or after:• 5:05 am = Masters Cancel• 7:45 am = Youth Cancel - We cannot provide long-term social distancing in the locker rooms. We will clear the decks and swimmers will wait in the locker rooms (for pick-up as soon as possible) if they arrive early for practice.
Typhoon Policy1. TC-2: Youth and Masters Swim Team practice is cancelled, pools "clean-up" (lane-lines stored, etc.).2. If we go into TC-2 during practice or during the bus runs: If a dedicated swim team bus has made pick-ups, they will stop at the pool, then deliver swimmers to their home destinations once the DoDEA/SAC buses have made their drop-off at the pool. If a DoDEA/SAC bus has made pick-ups, they will deliver the swimmers to the pool. Swimmers at the pool will be delivered to their home destinations.3. SCHOOL YEAR: If TC-2 occurs prior to the regular swim team bus pick-up, the buses do not make pick-ups. Swimmers should go home via alternate means. IF A SWIMMER GETS ON A DOD/SAC BUS FOR SWIM TEAM PRACTICE WHEN THERE IS NO PRACTICE DUE TO TC-2, THE BUS WILL DELIVER THEM TO THE POOL. THE SWIMMER MUST BE PICKED UP FROM THE POOL BY A PARENT/GUARDIAN.4. TC-1: Pools close. Pool may close earlier than TC-1 if weather conditions warrant.5. TC-All Clear/Storm Watch: Clean-up procedures to re-open a pool after a typhoon can vary from a few minutes to a few days. Swim Team resumes no earlier than 24-hours after All-Clear/Storm Watch. We want to get back to practices as soon as possible, but realize that we cannot use the pools until they are in working order. If in doubt, contact the pool: Foster 50 - 645-2211 / 098-970-2211.
