About Nottingham Leander
Masters
The "Masters Swimmer" is a swimmer over
25 years of age. Swimmers join us either to keep fit or to train for
competitions. The aim of the Masters Section is to provide swimming for adults
of all ages. This ranges from disciplined recreational swimming to competitive
training. Included is the opportunity to improve general fitness and participate
in weekly technique work. The idea is that Masters Swimming is fun and there is
no pressure. We have an average attendance of 25 swimmers at the Tuesday and
Thursday evening Masters Sessions. All sessions have coaches present. A wide
range of age and ability is catered for. Adults under 25 are welcome. The
section also has an active social life
Masters competitions are intended as stimuli to those swimmers who wish to
retain the competitive urge, and an incentive to others, who may have only begun
swimming later in life. Everybody can take up the challenge of competing against
his or her contemporaries, and having a measure of their own progress.
Competitions are grouped in 5 year age bands, so the same age range compete
against each other. There is no upper age limit. There are no heats or finals,
the races being seeded on submitted times without regard to age. Medals are
presented to the top 3 in each age group.
