I’m looking for a masters group to swim with on weekday mornings somewhere around Wayne/Conshohocken PA. My morning commute brings me up the Schuylkill Expressway to Wayne, so I’m looking for something relatively close to the office. I tried the USMS website, but most of the info is dated. Anyone have info on groups at some of the local pools like Upper Main Line Y, Rosement, Cabrini, Villanova, etc.?
Thanks!
There is a Villanova Masters Swimming group that swims at the college if you are still looking. They swim Monday - Friday either at 5.30 or 6am depending on the day. You may want to check out their Facebook page and email them directly.
I would imagine the Upper Main Line Y has something, I think most Y’s do and that is a pretty decent/popular one.
There’s not much info on his site, but he runs all kinds of swim programs in that area including open water. He sends out regular email updates.

Thanks! I actually started with the Villanova group a few weeks ago.
Oh good, how do you like the group?
