Beginner 101 Swim Program: Summer Session #2
A six-week, twice-weekly swim program designed to build strong fundamentals and confidence in the water. It welcomes adults who are new to structured training as well as those looking to refine basic skills, and participants should be able to swim to the end of the pool and back using any stroke, even an elementary one. Registration includes 12 coached sessions with individualized drills tailored to ability, plus a follow-up email outlining each workout. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Sessions take place at the Asbury Park Boys & Girls Club. The program is a good fit for anyone eyeing a first sprint triathlon, swimmers seeking more comfort in open water, or those preparing to move into a Masters program. By the end, the goal is for participants to have the confidence to join the Masters Swim Program, which features swims beyond 1,600 yards. Lockers are available for storing gear between workouts, and there are newly renovated showers; bring towels and toiletries. Coaching is led by Brian Shea, Founder and Head Coach of Jersey Shore Masters, an endurance athlete and certified coach with more than 25 years of experience, multiple Ironman finishes including Hawaii, and repeated top-10 results at the 9-mile Swim for Alligator Light, along with podium finishes at the United States Lifesaving Association National Championships.
