- Masters
The Masters squad is for competitive swimmers over the age of 17. In many ways it is the pinnacle of swimming achievement: a place where wisdom, fitness and above all guile are blended to create perfect athletes. Goals in this squad could include training for pool-swimming competitions, triathlons, and open-water racing.
Training is structured in the form of a set program specifically written for the Masters group. Sessions focus on developing physical conditioning and technical skills for competition swimming, and all four strokes are used.
Competition expectation
CCSC is a competitive swimming club, and our Masters swimmers include county, regional and national champions, and national open-water medal winners. To retain their squad place, as a minimum it’s expected that Masters will enter the club’s winter and summer championships. We also strongly encourage participation in the annual Sussex County Short Course championships, as well as other championships and open meets throughout the year.
Equipment
Masters sessions utilise a variety of equipment, including:
- fins
- hand paddles
- kickboards
- snorkels
