Curl-Burke Masters Swim Club

Burke

Burke Racquet and Swim Club (BRSC) represents one of CUBU Masters two original sites. Conveniently located at the midpoint of the Burke Centre Parkway, just off of Burke Commons Road in Burke, VA, CUBU Masters training at BRSC enjoy outstanding lane space, plus all the benefits of this full service health and sports club. Thus, in addition to our regularly scheduled Masters workouts, our Masters swimmers are able to make up workouts or train on their own in the water during any of the extensive hours that the pool is available. They can also get together in smaller groups and train at their convenience, and over the years we have had both a "Breakfast Club" and a "Lunchbunch" that get together regularly and swims outside of our normal weekday evening practice hours. Additionally, our Masters have full access to the Club's topnotch aerobic training equipment as well as the weight room, aerobics classes, climbing wall, and all other club facilities and classes.

Our philosophy at BRSC is aligned with USMS and CUBU Masters overall in that we promote fitness for life, while providing a quality service and individualized attention to all swimmers and athletes at all levels. Throughout the year, we provide specialized technique instruction for all four strokes, including starts and turns, and we train the energy systems to achieve maximum results in late April/early May and in mid-late August of each year. This approach serves both our competitive swimmers and our recreational athletes very well throughout the course of our typical semi-annual training cycles.

In addition to participating in the well planned and executed pool workouts, our close knit group of Masters at BRSC hosts a number of teambuilding and social events, including open water training followed by boating and picnics, periodic outdoor adventures, monthly socials at the club, and annual spring, fall and holiday team dinners. Please drop in on any of our scheduled workouts for a free trial, or contact one of our coaches to answer any questions you may have.
