Masters: Intro

What is Masters Swimming?

Masters swimming is swimming for adults. It encompasses a range of ability from fitness swimming to highly organised competitive swimming. To qualify as a masters swimmer one needs only to be over 25 years of age and be a competant swimmer, although there are also a number of competitions for younger adults above the age of 19.

Unlike mainstream swimming, masters competitions rarely impose a qualifying standard, so if you wish to take part in a masters event you can. Competitions are almost always seeded on the basis of ability, and therefore no matter what standard you have reached it is likely that you will be in the pool with people of similar ability.

Who are the Tring Masters?

Tring Masters are a small group of swimmers who swim as part of Tring Swimming Club on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday evenings (see Training times for details). We range across swimming abilities from those who swim to burn off their food and alcohol intake, to those who swim competitively.
