Masters Squad

Our Masters Squad is a small but growing friendly 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, open water and 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: 3 x 1hr sessions per week across 4 lanes. In addition, there is a possibility of a further 3 x 1hr early morning sessions, by invitation.

Lead Coach: Tom Bloor

If you are only able to make one or two evening sessions per week, there is an option to pay reduced monthly training fees.  to the Members Area on the main menu.
