River Crossing - Bethlehem YMCA

We are an adult Masters Swimming program that works out at River Crossing - Bethlehem YMCA. Our group is a mix of pure swimmers and endurance athletes across a broad spectrum of ability levels ranging from beginner to seasoned racer. Our pool is an indoor chlorinated pool with 4 lanes and certified to 25 SCY. We officially go: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 0515 - 0700.

Practice Information

Our current weekly workout schedule is: 
Tuesdays and Thursdays: 0515 - 0700
If you decide to get in the water with us, please observe the following:
- The Bethlehem YMCA facility opens at 0500, Monday - Friday. 
- All swimmers must rinse/shower prior to entering the pool.
- Doors to the pool from the locker rooms open at 0510 (on my watch, not any one of the multiple clocks reading varying times around the facility). 
- Doors to the pool from the locker rooms re-lock at 0520 (I do not answer doors being pulled upon at/after 0521).
- If attending Masters, but running late, please use the main pool door at the end of the Family Locker Room hallway to gain entry to the pool from 0521 - 0700; if I am present, this door is open.

What to bring:
1. Swim cap(preferably silicone)
2. Swim goggles(preferably swedes-style and NOT mirrored. We are an indoor pool with low-light conditions prior to sunrise. Please wear goggles that maximize safe vision and situational awareness while working out in potentially-crowded lanes.)
3. Proper swim attire
4. Fins, preferably:
