Masters

Masters swimming is swimming for adults. It encompasses the whole range of ability from casual fitness swimming to highly organised competitive swimming. To qualify as a 'masters' swimmer one needs only to be over 25 years of age, but there are also a number of competitions for younger adults above the age of 19.

The broad objectives of better health, better fitness, and the friendship between swimmers are paramount. There is no compulsion on swimmers to compete.  Many of our Masters Swimmers are former club swimmers who return to swimming after a break.  Some will use the Masters sessions in addition to training for other sports eg triathlon, rugby etc to increase stamina levels.
