The Masters squad is for competitive swimmers over the age of 17. 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 medallists. 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.

- fins
- hand paddles
