Masters Swimming is for adults, aged 19 or over.
Broadstairs Lifeguard and Swimming Club is developing a small but perfectly formed Masters branch.
The Masters come together for local galas, such as the East Invicta and Kent Masters.

In Masters swimming, swimmers only compete against those in their own age group. These are as follows:
19-24 years - age group XX
25-29 - age group A
30-34 - age group B
35-39 - age group C
40-44 - age group D
45-49 - age group E
50-54 - age group F
55-59 - age group G
60-64 - age group H
... and they continue upwards!
Membership is £24 - an excellent deal - plus a one-off ASA registration fee - but membership is conditional:
-
Masters members train themselves in their own time and join together at competitions - there is unfortunately no water time available at the moment
-
Membership is ASA Category 1. This is for 'low level competition' as defined by the Amateur Swimming Association
-
Masters members do not have voting rights at Annual General Meetings
-
Masters membership is subject to the Committee's approval, and to the Club Rules (the Masters Membership Application form and Masters Agreement are available on the Download page)

Please put the word 'Masters' in the subject line.
