Detroit Masters Swim Club, the “Detroit 100” was established in 2024 by Head Coach Greg Robinson.  We practice at various locations around the Detroit area, but our home pool is the Coleman A. Young Recreation Center.

We welcome all swimmers regardless of swim level, race, ethnicity, or sexual origin.
