Masters Swimming at Brighton |
|
|
|
Session Times are Wednesday 6.30 - 8.00pm & Friday 7.30 - 8.15pm at Prince Regent. Competitive swimmers can often swim with the main squad at other times but do need to ask the club coach about availability of space.
We have 2 levels of Masters' swimming at the Club. The Faster (Younger) Masters meet on Wednesday evenings at 6.30 to 8.00 at Prince Regent pool and can swim up to 3000m, if they last the full 90 minutes, so it is fairly strenuous. This session is aimed at swimmers who are likely to have been competitive at some time in the past and still want to train in a structured environment but cannot commit to the hours of the current competitive squad. The sets can be as hard or as easy as you want and are varied in ability.
The Golden Oldies and Fading Superstars take things much more gently, swimming on Wednesdays at 6.30 pm and Fridays at 7.30 pm for 45 minutes. Someone produces a programme, which is open to discussion, more discussion than swimming, sometimes. Nothing is compulsory & it is thought prudent to ignore any suggestion to swim butterfly.
There are a wide range of ages and ability, but we usually get through about 1200m in 45 minutes, mainly in 25m and 50m swims. You will have to pay the entrance fee of £4.30 (at the time of writing) to Prince Regent, (concessions are available) and, if you decide that you wish to swim with us and not in a public lane, you will be expected to join the Club (£48 a year or £5 a month by direct debit). Car parking is free but chaotic.
