Welcome to Lane 4 Swimming! Here's the latest news:

Spring Hill practices move to Vienna Aquatics Club (VAC): Summer is almost here and Tom's group will be changing from indoor swimming to outdoor swimming at Vienna Aquatics. The L4 practice at Spring Hill will shut down after practice on Thursday May 23rd. Outdoor masters swimming at Vienna Aquatics resumes on Tuesday June 4th.

Summer mornings at Old Keene Mill (OKM) start Sunday, May 26, with a pot-luck practice (practice with a pot luck brunch afterwards) on Memorial Day, May 27. Practice times closely follow last year's--you can see the details on the calendar. If you're a Saturday swimmer, please note that OKM has swim meets on June 8, 22, and 29, so we won't have practice those days.

Interested in wild (open water) swimming this summer? Check out these events, compiled by our dedicated BRSC swimmer Sean Linnehan. Thanks, Sean!

Welcome to Lane 4 Swimming (L4), one of the largest and most diverse adult swim teams in the nation. We are an all-encompassing Masters team, gladly accepting all ages and abilities.

Our vision is quite simple: to provide the absolute best pool and open water training opportunities for adult athletes, all at reasonable cost. We do this by offering convenient workout locations in DC and suburban Virginia, some of which are sure to align with your schedule and home/work locations. Unique on the East Coast, our athletes can attend workouts at 8 different locations (11 in the summer) at one low cost.
We encourage prospective new swimmers to try us out for a swim at no cost.

Visiting USMS-registered Masters swimmers may join our workouts at no cost while you are in the general DC area.
