Start with One
The Masters Swimming Canada 1km Challenge
For many of our members, the 1km Challenge is a great place to start. The goal is to complete a continuous 1km pool swim using any stroke, pull or kick. And while the concept is simple, the benefits of taking on the challenge are anything but. It can help you to:
- Measure and improve your fitness
- Set goals for training
- Get valuable feedback on your stroke efficiency
- Focus your training season or check progress over the year
- See how you and your club stack up against other swimmers across the country
You can take the 1km Challenge with other members from your club or on your own. The flexible guidelines and achievable distance make it accessible to swimmers of all levels. And, if you're interested in Masters Swimming competition but aren't sure if it's for you, this challenge can give you a taste for what it might be like. So why not get involved and Start with One?

Your local club rep can give you details on the 1km Challenge taking place at your club, but here is the basic information:
