Seattle Sixgill Sharks
The Seattle Sixgill Sharks is an independent Masters workout group within the Puget Sound Masters Club. Experienced, USMS-certified coaches guide swimmers through structured workouts, providing feedback on technique and training. Regular clinics focusing on technique, advanced conditioning, or dryland training supplement weekly practices. The team is suitable for many levels, from adults new to lap swimming up to seasoned competitive swimmers and triathletes. Where pool and lane space is limited, a minimum swimming ability may be required (ability to swim at least 200m of freestyle without reaching exhaustion).
Practice Information
Once-weekly practices are scheduled to resume on Sunday, November 1 for current members only. Due to limited pool space and practice times available during the early phases of Covid reopening, the group is not able to accommodate visiting swimmers at this time. New members will be welcomed as space allows.
