Soda City Masters
Soda City Masters is a USMS‑registered team in Columbia, South Carolina, welcoming swimmers aged 18 and up; whether you're chasing fitness, honing your stroke, or simply want to swim with a friendly crew.
Founded in 2025, our club believes adult swimming is less about lap counts and more about community: high‑fives, laughter, and making progress measured in both technique and camaraderie. Fun is our guiding star, but our practices are structured and supported with on‑deck coaching so every swimmer learns, adapts, and improves.
We embrace all swimmers—from those just dipping a toe in to triathletes chasing split‑second PRs. Beyond workouts, we spark connection with social gatherings, occasional community outreach, and playful challenges that turn lanes into shared stories.
Our mission is to empower adult swimmers with structured support, inclusive fitness, and a sense of belonging that makes every stroke feel a little more like home.
Dive in with our free two-week trial—where your fitness goals and future friends are waiting at the end of the lane line.
