✶✶✶✶ ADULT LEARN TO SWIM (ALTS) ✶✶✶✶

If you're not quite there yet, or simply want a fresh start on breathing skills, floating, & basic freestyle technique as part of our progressive Adult Learn to Swim (ALTS) curriculum, consider joining our new "ALTS" classes or sign up for a package of private lessons! This program will follow progressive 4-to-12- week development cycles to help you learn the basics and build confidence to "graduate up" to higher volume shared-lane lap swimming. Participants are encouraged to swim at least 2x per week in order to accelerate progress by getting in the pool often - so this can be a great "bundle" option to do together to complement your group swims where you'll benefit from seeing and swimming alongside larger groups of swimmers.

✶✶✶✶ TRI CLUB COMMUNITY SWIM: ✶✶✶✶
THURSDAYS 6:30pm shared-lane "masters swimming" for triathletes!

Join in our weekly TRI CLUB COMMUNITY SWIM at LAKESHORE SPORT & FITNESS (LSF) - ILLINOIS CENTER... presented by SkylineSwim.com, Tri312.com, 4 STAR ENDURANCE, BFF BIKES, and the LAKESHORE LANDSHARKS triathlon club!

These shared lane swimming group workouts are less "stroke instruction" focused and more of a typical "masters swimming" format with a heavy priority on higher volume freestyle training. These classes are ideally suited for experienced swimmers and triathletes looking for camaraderie to "have fun and train hard" with other like-minded multisport athletes. These classes are fun, very social, and typically will feature a TIME TRIAL swim "fitness check" test challenge each week to maintain focus on fitness gains!
