First practice for new Asst. Coach Laura Hutchins. Laura has a lot of experience as an age group coach and swim instructor. She'll be handling many morning practices while head coach Miranda is out on leave.

Today was Head Coach Miranda's last practice before maternity leave. Not only was the practice unique (we used the stop watch to pick our sets and we had the options to skip a set or make a deal), but we played sharks & minnows at the end.

The next time we'll see Miranda on the deck she'll be Mama Miranda!

Why Swim with the Central Illinois Masters Swim Team (CIMST)?

1. Practices are written for every level of swimmer. How fast you can swim doesn’t matter. We have a range of abilities at every practice, from beginners to competitive.

2. A coach is on deck for every practice. In addition to writing practices, they provide useful tips for swimmers to improve technique.

3. Training with structured practices is better than swimming on your own. Structured practices include several sets of swimming with varying distances, intensity and time intervals.

4. Swimming with others is fun. Support from fellow teammates helps keep the practices lively and fun.

5. Competitions are available throughout the year. CIMST sponsors two annual events: the Spring Classic Swim Meet at the IWU pool and the Central Illinois Open Water Swim in Evergreen Lake.

Why not give us a try for free? Go here to sign up:
