Caring · Growing · Winning. Three words become a week of work: pool sets that demand something of you, open water that asks you to trust the lake, strength sessions that protect your shoulders, and a community that holds you accountable.
Lactate-threshold sets. Race-pace 100s. The hardest swim of the week, on purpose.
Dryland for swimmers. Posterior chain, core rotation, scapular health.
Stroke drills, video review on deck. Coach Reena watches every length.
Lake Michigan set with sighting and pacing. Wetsuit, cap, escort kayak.
Box breathing, restorative mobility, mindset for race day.
Endurance build. 3,000 to 5,000 meters depending on season and goal.
Recovery day. Stretching encouraged. The work happens here too.
Every session is filmed. Stroke-level analysis lands in your GoSwim feed within 24 hours, with timestamped coach comments. You're not guessing what your hip drop looks like, you're watching it. Then you're fixing it.
Powered by our partnership with GoSwim, the same platform used by USA Swimming and USA Triathlon Project Podium.
Twice-weekly pool training with structured progression across the season. Threshold work to raise your aerobic ceiling. Technique sessions to dismantle the habits that are costing you seconds per hundred. Race-pace work to teach your body what fast feels like.
Welles Park, mornings before the city wakes up. The same lane assignments every week so you train next to the same sistas.
Pool fitness only carries you so far. Open water demands sighting, pacing, dealing with chop, and learning to trust water you can't see through. Lake Michigan sets begin in June with sighting and pacing clinics, escalating to mile and 5k swims by August.
Wetsuit fittings included. Escort kayaks on every session. A Door County lodge weekend each summer to put it all together.
Dryland sessions designed for swimmers. Strength work that protects your shoulders, builds the posterior chain, and trains the core rotation a good freestyle demands. Mobility, breathwork, and mindset workshops fill out the program.
Recovery isn't optional. It's where the adaptation happens. We treat it like training.
Founded Team Dream in 2012 with a mission to reduce drowning deaths and close health disparities in communities of color through swimming.
Former collegiate distance swimmer. Specializes in catch mechanics and the small adjustments that make big differences over a thousand meters.
Open-water coach and strength specialist. Leads the Door County lodge weekend each summer and the dryland program year-round.
No. You need to be willing to work and able to swim 400 meters continuously. We have sistas who came in as adult-onset swimmers and now finish open-water miles. Pace doesn't matter, commitment does.
All pool sessions, all open-water sessions, strength classes, video review on GoSwim, the welcome retreat, the Door County lodge weekend (Open Water season), and access to the coach feedback channel.
Sessions are filmed, you can review what you missed on GoSwim. We don't refund missed sessions, but coaches will catch you up. Twelve seats per cohort means we'll notice.
Yes, and most sistas do. The Year Circle bundles all four seasons plus a welcome retreat and quarterly 1:1 coaching for $2,895 (a meaningful discount vs. registering for each season individually).
Sistas is the women's program within Team Dream Swim Club. The club also runs general adult swimming, learn-to-swim for drowning prevention, masters, and coach training. Same mission, same coaching standards.
