The Illinois Valley YMCA Masters Swimming Team is home for fitness swimmers, triathletes, and competitive swimmers who range in age from 19 to ??. Our swimmers range in ability from nationally competitive swimmers to people just starting a fitness program.
We swim in the Illinois Valley YMCA Link Aquatic Center, the finest pool in Peru, Illinois . Our workouts are a mixture of coached & uncoached and our swimmers are friendly and enthusiastic. There are practices almost every day. You pick and choose the times that fit into your schedule. Swim as much or as little as you like. Participants should be comfortable swimming at least a few hundred yards continuously using the freestyle (crawl) stroke. Experience with other competitive strokes is welcomed, but not required.
Drop ins are welcome. |

Practices are uncoached and on your own on Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30 PM.
Sundays from 12-2 PM are also available on your own.
A Sunday coached practice is in development and will be announced when finalized.
The team name is "White Caps"
Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced work outs are posted on the white board located on the pool deck at the shallow end of the pool under the "White Caps" banner.
Swim meets and events are located there. Swimmers may pick a level to work out at, and if the level is to difficult, cut the work out in half and build from there.
All IVYMS members should be members of United States Masters Swimming if they wish to swim USMS sanctioned meets. They need to hold a current membership with Illinois Masters Swimming to obtain their USMS card. Please visit ILMSA. Send payment directly to ILMSA.
Y membership or pay daily fee
