Meet your coaches
Lena is a masters swim coach and former collegiate distance swimmer who leads Blue Lane’s morning squads. She writes lane-by-lane sets so every speed gets a real workout, and she is meticulous about pacing and rest. Early alarm aside, her squad regulars swear by how much faster they have gotten.
Kai coaches stroke-technique clinics and the intro water polo program, drawing on years of competitive polo and lifeguard instruction. He is endlessly patient with the small mechanical fixes that make swimming feel effortless. Bring a stroke you want to clean up and he will have drills ready.
Squads & clinics
The Stroke Technique Clinic is a small-group session dedicated to cleaning up one stroke at a time through focused drills and detailed cues. It suits every level, from adults relearning freestyle to competitive swimmers chasing efficiency. With a low cap, you will get plenty of individual feedback and specific homework to take away. Bring goggles and a cap, and come with a stroke you would like to fix.
Masters Swim Squad is a coached early-morning workout for confident swimmers who want structure and steady improvement. Each session is written as lane-specific sets, so sprinters and distance swimmers both get an honest workout. Expect pace clocks, technique reminders, and a supportive crew that shows up before sunrise. Bring goggles, a cap, and fins if you have them.
Intro Water Polo introduces teens to the game’s fundamentals — treading, passing, and basic ball handling — in a fun, team-based setting. No polo experience is needed, just comfort swimming a few lengths and a willingness to try something new. Coaches keep drills playful while building the conditioning the sport demands. Bring a swimsuit you can move in, goggles, and lots of energy.

Pool questions
On your first squad morning, a coach will watch you swim a couple of easy lengths and place you in a lane with matching pace times. Lanes reshuffle as you improve — most swimmers move up within their first season.
Goggles, a cap, and a water bottle for the deck. Fins, paddles, and pull buoys help for squad sets but are optional to start — there is loaner equipment at the office.
Yes — squads and clinics run on class packs, so you can jump in any week. Water polo runs in short blocks, and mid-block joiners are welcome whenever there is deck space.

We train at the Beach Avenue Aquatic Centre — check in at the front desk, then head through the far change rooms to lanes four through eight. Free parking off Bidwell fills early on squad mornings.
