The Chambersburg YMCA has a Masters swimming training group. The group of adult swimmers trains together in the Huber pool at the YMCA from 6:00 – 7:15 AM Monday, Wednesday and Friday. There are multiple ability levels ranging from new fitness swimmers to former competitive swimmers and tri-athletes.

“It’s a great program for both members and non-members in the Chambersburg community who enjoy swimming laps and training in the pool” said Aquatic Director and Coach, Chris Chance. The program, now in its second year is looking to grow and include new members eager for the physical and social benefits of an adult swim team where competition is optional. “It’s a great program, I’ve become much more fit and built some new relationships at the same time” said former YMCA Charger swimmer turned masters swimmer and Coach Adam Leeper.

Adult swim teams are active in every state and there’s even a YMCA Masters National Championships in Fort Lauderdale every spring. The team sent 2 swimmers Kate Miller and Anthony Addlesberger down to represent the Chambersburg YMCA in Florida during 2008.
