Getting Started in Masters Swimming
Assess Your Swimming Level
Can you swim 400m continuously? If yes, you're ready for Masters! If not, consider adult lessons first.
Choose Your Club
Consider location, training times, coaching style, and whether you prefer competitive or social focus.
Attend a Trial Session
Most clubs offer trial sessions to see if the training style and group dynamics suit you.
Get the Right Equipment
Basic gear includes goggles, swimsuit, and kickboard. Your club will advise on additional equipment.
Start Training Gradually
Begin with 2-3 sessions per week and gradually increase as your fitness and technique improve.
Consider Your First Competition
When ready, enter a local Masters meet. It's about personal achievement, not winning!
