Welcome
The RAMS are a Masters swim team in the Niagara LMSC of United States Masters Swimming. Our program currently offers Rochester area swimmers aged 18 and over up to six coached workouts per week at three Rochester facilities. We welcome swimmers of all abilities and interests, from purely recreational swimmers who would like help improving their stroke technique to nationally ranked competitive Masters Swimmers. All swimmers benefit from the planned workouts and the camaraderie of the other swimmers to avoid the tedium of solo lap swimming. The RAMS occasionally host Masters meets and hold several team get-togethers throughout the year. Come try it out!
