Weekly pool workouts with Coach Mike

Each week is a different set designed to improve your technique and efficiency.

Included with your SFTC membership!

Pool workouts start in late January and run until late November. Workouts are held every week at Balboa Pool. Consult the calendar for updates.

Club Swim Clinics

We organize open-water swim clinics during the training season to learn about safety and techniques, develop comfort in open water, and more.

Alctraz Club Swim

A club-favorite perk, not to be missed! We work with an Alcatraz swim expert to host our very own private "escape from Alcatraz" swim for a fraction of the cost of other escorted Alcatraz swims. We'll select the most ideal date and time for the swim, pair you with club members of similar speed, and provide a kayak escort for your swim.
