The Mason Makos Swim Team
The Mason Makos Swim Team is dedicated to the
development of outstanding swimmers within a positive and
team-oriented
environment. We offer a variety of competitive,
highly competitive and National level programs. We have experienced
coaches that care about each swimmer - regardless of ability. The
Mason Makos Swim Team trains exclusively in GMU’s Aquatics
& Fitness Center - Northern Virginia’s best facility with
State-of-the-art equipment, including under- and above-water Tivo
brand video stroke analysis systems.
Swimming is truly a family sport without age boundaries -- a sport
that both children and parents alike can enjoy their entire lives.
Many families join our team to train and swim competitively, while
others join to refine their technique and improve conditioning.
Whatever your goals are for your children, our mission is to
provide you with the right program tailored to your needs. For me,
it seems that my whole life has revolved around a pool one way or
another. From my own experience in summer-league swimming and USA
swimming in Richmond, VA through my collegiate swimming experience
at the University of Tennessee, in Knoxville, TN, and while
competing in the USA Olympic Trials in 1988, I’ve adopted one
simple philosophy for the Mason Makos Swim Team: Swim fast and have
fun!
If a child is having fun while they are swimming, the results are
often spectacular! Swimming instills a sense of confidence, an
ability to set goals, manage time wisely and achieve these goals
through strong work ethic. Of course, the physical benefits of
swimming are second to none -- no other sport promotes the aerobic
conditioning and physical coordination required to swim
successfully. Without a doubt, though, one of the finest
characteristics of a true ’team’ is a sense of
community -- a place to ’belong’. The bond between
teammates as well as between swimmers and coaches can run deep and
are long-lived. In fact, the friendships made on swim teams often
extend throughout adulthood. Parents are part of the equation, too!
Team swim meets and extracurricular activities offer you an
opportunity to take part in your child’s activities and meet
new people.
