The current coaches are Anne Smyth (Coaching Director), Greg Gourley, Caz Makin, Leisa Cass, Brenda Day, Tom Boyc, Katrina Burgess, Kylie Lane.
Normally training sessions are held at Lakeside Leisure Centre, 1 Anketell St, Greenway, ACT 2900 (map)

During summer, additional Sunday morning training sessions are often held in the 50m outdoor pool at the Phillip Swimming and Ice Skating Centre, 1 Irving Street, Phillip, ACT 2606 (map). Timings will be advised to members via the club email list.
Please arrive 15 minutes before the session start time for stretching and a rundown of the session from the coach.
The cost per training session is approximately $5.00 per session. We no longer take cash payments so members need to take advantage of the discounted rate offered by purchasing a 12-visit training card * for $52.00. Please sign in using our QR code system and mark off one visit on your training card.
* Swimmers are required to purchase 12 session cards at the discounted price of $4.33/session. Payment of $52 can be made by direct credit to the Tuggeranong Masters Swimming bank account (bank details are located in the front of the ‘sign-in’ folder at the pool). Once you’ve made payment by online banking, please contact the Treasurer, to assist them in identifying which deposits are for what! Cards that have been purchased will be left in the training card box at the pool for swimmers to collect.

The club provides club membership cards which are available for collection at training sessions (ask your coaches at the pool about the cards if you have not already received one or contact the Club Registrar). Show these at the counter as you enter the pool.
