What is Masters Swimming?

Masters swimming is a discipline of swimming for the over 19s. It is not just for champions, ex-champions or soon to be champions. It’s a great way to socialise and keep fit and most of all have fun. Masters swimming is becoming more and more popular as health and fitness conscientiousness is on the rise.

Masters swimming can be done at any level, whether you just fancy a quick dip in the pool, an afternoon with good company or the thrill of a competition. Masters swimming is a great way to relax and have a good time as well as an effective way to keep yourself in shape.

Competitions are available to all registered masters swimmers and for most events you don’t even have to worry about qualifying times. It’s a great way to gain experience swimming in a competition environment and trying out your techniques.  Although... if you are looking for something more competitive there’s always European and World events.
