Masters - £20.00 p/m

This section is designed for the over 25's. Training is conducted in consultation with the coaches. Masters are able to attend the Monday and Wednesday sessions of the Senior Development group. We are also looking to open up a lane for Masters on either a Thursday or a Friday (or possibly both), once Aston University re-opens its pool. The club also wish to try and expand upon its Masters session, so any new members into this section are more than welcome, tri-athletes, waterpolo players and open water swimmers, we can cater for all.

 

At present there are three members of the coaching staff who meet on a regular basis to assess swimmers progress and plan each training cycle. Coaches work across all the groups for their own personal development, but also to ensure swimmers and coaches get to know each other on a more personal basis.
