If Masters swimming offers an excellent way to compete against your peers no matter your age, our decathlon competition is great for those who want to compete in different disciplines. As the name suggests, you have to compete in a combination of ten different strokes and distances, and there are prizes for the top male and female Scottish masters swimmers over the year.
If you're a SASA registered swimmer, you'll be automatically entered into the decathlon competition when you complete your first race during the year and we'll continue to total up your points throughout the year - we'll keep track of your score so you don't have to!
Although the decathlon offers a great way to compete against others, often our competitors find it a great way to keep track of their performances over time - meaning they can set their own goals from improving points in one particular discipline, or improving their overall score.
It's fun, free to enter, we do all the hard work and you can win prizes - what's not to like about the Scottish Masters Decathlon!

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.
