Welcome to the Ancient Mariners
We are a masters swim team in Montgomery County, Maryland.
We offer coached practices most days of the week in locations around the county. Learn more about our team and practices below. Our members range in age from the 20s to the 80s. Some like to compete, while others swim for fitness and community. We hope you’ll join us!

During the pandemic I made the decision to resign from my positions as newsletter editor, website designer and webmaster, and unofficial team photographer. It seemed like the right decision after volunteering in those capacities since 1997.
