For more information about the Adult Swim Team or the US Masters Swimming program, please contact Ursula Garrison at 715-779.5408 or via email [email protected].

Practices are scheduled 6:45-8:00am Tuesdays and Friday. Please note that the Rec Center opens at 6:30am. If you would like access to the building before 6:30am you can apply for 24 hour access at the front desk.

All practices are under the direction of a USMS certified coach. At practice, the lanes are organized by speed, so swimmers of similar speed swim together. Practices are structured with workouts that build over the season.

What to bring to practice:
Swimsuit, goggles, cap, towel, water bottle, and a lock for day use lockers. You are not required to wear goggles and a cap, but they are highly recommended. We have locks, towels, caps, and goggles available for purchase at the front desk.

Meet your USMS Certified Coach - Beth Lowthian

My name is Beth and  I am excited to guide swimmers to reach all of their swimming and fitness goals.
I swam through high school and part of college and then trained for a triathlon in 1997. In high school I coached and loved sharing the sport with others.
I've been part of the Bayfield Rec Center community for years - even lifeguarding and serving on the board of directors around 2006.
