Swimming is a sport that can be enjoyed, either as a
leisure activity or competitively at any age. The
exercise helps to maintain mobility as well as helping
to prevent conditions such as heart disease,
osteoporosis and diabetes.
If you are a swimmer aged 18 years and over you can
compete in masters competitions. Masters compete in
five-year age bands (e.g. 18-24, 25-29). Competition is
available in all four strokes and over all distances up
to 1,500 metres. There is no upper age limit and In
Sussex we have masters competing in the 80-85 years
category.
Most clubs in Sussex welcome masters’ swimmers.
