CINCINNATI MARLINS MASTERS SWIMMING

We are a United States Masters Swimming team and a part of the Southwest Ohio Masters.    This program is for swimmers ages 19 and over who enjoy the water and the camaraderie of training with like-minded people!   Some compete, some swim just for the sheer "health" of it!  You don’t have to be a record setter or even race to swim with us, all you have to do is have a desire to keep yourself in great shape and  improve your swim strokes at the same time.   Come to St. Xavier High School Natatorium and check us out!

Our address is:  616 W. North Bend Rd., Cincy OH  45224

DIRECTIONS to St. Xavier High School Natatorium:   FROM I-75 SOUTH-take the PADDOCK RD EXIT, turn left onto Paddock Rd.   Turn Left onto North Bend Rd. under the railroad trestle and follow it up the hill, St. X is on the right at the top.   The Natatorium is at the back of the school-stay to the left when coming in the front driveway.

TRAINING TIP:  Going back to something I’ve talked about in the past, whenever I swim this tip really helps me improve my stroke efficiency.  Of all the things I think about, SWIMMING DOWNHILL and pressing (or leaning) on my upper body has been the one thing that makes me feel ON TOP OF the water.  Not pressing with the hand, but pressing on your LUNGS-or the shoulder that’s closest to the bottom of the pool.   This will ALWAYS bring your hips closer to the surface preventing drag from the hips down.   Head in a natural, resting position-eyes down without burying head.   Think about exposing the back of your neck!    Happy training.....
