The 2026 season of GLAD's Saturdays@Colman workouts begin
May 9 and will end September 19, 2026
The 2026 season of Saturday morning workouts at Colman Pool start May 9 and will continue through September 19 (no workouts on June 20 & July 11 due to city swim meets).
These Saturday morning 90-minute workouts run from 6:30 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. and are open to all interested swimmers. We hope there are early-rise volunteers who will be able to arrive around 6:00 a.m. to help get pool covers off, lane lines in, flags up, and the pool ready for the 6:30 start.
For those unfamiliar with Colman Pool, it is a heated 8-lane outdoor saltwater 50-meter pool in West Seattle. More info about Colman Pool can be found here. As you can see from the map below, there is about a 10-minute walk from Fauntleroy Way (the parking lot) to the pool. Colman Pool is a beautiful facility right on Puget Sound.
GLAD uses a sign-up system for swimmers to register for each workout. The sign-up link is sent out every Monday for the following Saturday. If you're not currently receiving those weekly sign-up messages, you can easily join by clicking here. Fill in your email address, name, your USMS status, and which workouts you want to attend (Weekdays at View Ridge or Saturdays@Colman or both) and click Subscribe. That's it!
Remember that a current USMS membership is required for all swimmers (or the 30-day free membership offered by USMS which you can get here).
For the 2026 season, the fee is $18 per person (same as last year). To minimize on-deck transactions and for efficiency, GLAD asks swimmers pay online at least 12 hours before the workout. Click here to go to the payment portal page.
