The RAMS are a Masters swim team in the Niagara LMSC of United States Masters Swimming.
Our membership options currently offer Rochester area swimmers from two to seven coached workouts per week at three Rochester facilities from September through July. We welcome swimmers ages 18 and over who are interested in fitness as well as Masters competition. Our workouts help improve stroke technique and efficiency as well as endurance and fitness. We currently have ~90 swimmers; some are nationally ranked competitive Masters swimmers. All swimmers benefit from the structured workouts and the camaraderie of other swimmers to avoid the tedium of solo lap swimming.
The RAMS team hosts an annual Masters meet in November and holds several team social events throughout the year.
One week-tryouts are available; however, because our membership is near capacity, we give preference to swimmers with some competitive or recent swimming experience and are no longer able to welcome novice swimmers. Use the Join/Contact link for RAMS membership fee information; we also require a current USMS registration.
Our practice times can be seen on the RAMS Monthly Calendar. Because the MWF morning practices are often at capacity, they may be closed to new swimmers.
Visitor Policy: we welcome all out-of-town visitors with a current USMS registration.
