Masters Swimming
We welcome new Masters swimmers into the Club though due to large demand and a limit on spaces have to ask that they commit to support the running of the Club. This may be with coaching, helping at events or supporting the Committee. We receive many enquiries from Masters swimmers in the area, whilst the club will do its best it is not always possible to accommodate demand for all new Master’s enquiries. As well as being asked to help support the club, the criteria we apply are provided below:
1. Masters swimming is available to people in our local community
2. We will always give first priority to parents of BSSC swimmers who wish to return to swimming
3. A good first stroke is required with confidence in at least one other.
4. The sessions are generally around 2000 metres (80 lengths) and will be a mix of technique and interval training.
If you are interested in joining then please contact our Chair using the email address provided.
