St. Pete Masters Swimming
Welcome to St. Pete Masters
Founded in 1972, St. Pete Masters (SPM) is one of the oldest and most respected masters swimming clubs in the United States. As a registered non-profit organization governed by an elected nine-member board, SPM has been a driving force in the Tampa Bay masters swimming community for more than five decades—offering high-quality training, strong leadership, and a welcoming team culture.
With a membership of over 200 swimmers from St. Petersburg and throughout the Tampa Bay region, SPM brings together adults ages 18 and up who share a passion for swimming. Membership is open to swimmers of all experience levels through United States Masters Swimming (USMS), whether you’re returning to the sport, training for competition, or simply looking for a fun and healthy way to stay active.
At SPM, swimmers come for many reasons and stay for the community. Our team supports competitive swimmers, triathletes, open water athletes, and fitness swimmers alike. Just as important, we value camaraderie, connection, and enjoying the journey together, both in and out of the pool.
Members enjoy structured team workouts throughout the week, with practices offered Monday through Friday in the early morning (5:30-7 am) and late afternoon (4-6:30 pm), plus Sunday mornings (9-10:30 am). These sessions provide consistency, motivation, and expert-designed workouts in a supportive group environment, helping swimmers improve technique, build endurance, and reach personal goals.
Beyond daily training, St. Pete Masters proudly hosts two annual swim meets: a short-course yards meet each March, and a long-course meters meet each July. Our March meet, the Bob Beach Championship, honors one of the founders of masters swimming and is the longest-running U.S. Masters Swimming meet in the country. These events reflect our deep roots in the sport and our ongoing commitment to growing and supporting the masters swimming community.
