Masters Squad

We have recently set up a Masters Squad, a small but growing group catering for swimmers aged 18 and upwards. Sessions are coached by our experienced, lifeguard-qualified coaches.

Target audience: The range is wide from those who simply wish to keep fit or improve their stroke technique to those who are slightly more serious about their swimming and wish to compete in Masters competitions or triathlons. Swimmers are divided into lanes, according to ability, so you won’t feel out of your comfort zone. 

Most of our members joined because they either swam in the past or were swimming at local public sessions. It's certainly more rewarding and sociable when you have a coached programme to follow and like-minded people to share your session.

Eligibility criteria: Swimmers aged 18 years and over and able to swim.

Timetable: 2 x 1hr sessions per week across 4 lanes.

Lead Coach: Tom Bloor

If you are only able to make one session per week, there is an option to pay a reduced monthly training fee. For details of fees, head to the Members Area on the main menu. 

How to Join: Firstly, register for your free no obligation trial to see if the session meets your expectations. Simply complete the form in this link register for your free trial here, and our Membership Secretary will be in touch to confirm your attendance. 

Club Kit:

If you are competing in Masters competitions, you will need to wear a Newcastle Swimming Club cap. The cap and other club branded kit is available to buy from our club shop, which is open periodically throughout the year. You will be notified by email and on our Facebook page when the shop is open again.
