Werl Pool

WerlPool Masters is a seasonal program that trains in an outdoor, three-lane, 25-yard pool in North Stamford, from May through early October. The pool features a perimeter gutter system with lanes that are 7 feet wide and a depth that descends from five to seven feet deep. We have a digital pace clock, starting blocks, backstroke flags, regulation lane markers, and above-ground and underwater speakers. The water is heated to a consistent 77 but gets warmer in the summer. There’s also a pool house for showers and changing. Practices are typically in the morning, before work. Tri-athletes are welcome. Un-coached swimming is available in the afternoon or evening.

Practice Information

We welcome swimmers of all ages and genders. Most of us are swimming for fitness, although some compete in pools, open water races or triathlons. We are self-coached with fresh workouts written for every practice. We typically host five practices per week (Tues, Wed, Fri, Sat and Sun), lasting an hour and a half, with an average distance of 4,400 per workout. Each practice usually has a warm-up, main set, kick set, pull set and a cool down. At least once a week we focus on non-freestyle strokes in the main set. Weekday practices typically begin between 6:15 - 6:30am and weekends start around 8:00am. All interested swimmers are asked to join our WhatsApp chat to see the daily schedule updates.
