Masters Swimming
What
is Masters swimming?
Masters
swimming is a successful blend of fitness and competitive swimming for
adults. Anyone aged 19 and over is welcome in any United States Masters
Swimming club or event. (Only those 25 and older are eligible to participate
in FINA World Masters
meets.) The objectives of Masters swimming are fun, fitness, friendship
and participation. Masters swimming is for everyone!
How
does it differ from other swimming programs?
Masters
swimming is based on regular, structured workouts using techniques of
interval training similar to those used in successful fitness and competitive
swim programs all over the world.
Who
can join?
Anyone
19 years of age and over who has basic swimming ability and can comfortably
swim a few lengths of the pool. It is NOT necessary to have
previous experience in competitive swimming.
What
about competitive opportunities?
There
are club and open meets, zone championships, national championships, and
international championships. Competition is in five-year age groups, starting
at 19, with no upper age limit.
Does
everyone have to compete?
Many
Masters swimmers swim just to keep in shape. You may choose to measure
your progress by the increased distances you swim, the time you take,
the decreased rest you need, and or your general feeling and well-being
after a workout.
