As we get older we can still benefit from advice on how to get the most from our swimming. The ASA Masters Committee gives you some tips that may help swimmers aged from 25 to over 100, although they could be of benefit to swimmers of all ages!
GENERAL
- Know your limits. Have regard for your age and state of health. Do not try to emulate younger swimmers to the detriment of your own well being.
- Do not train or compete if you are ill or are feeling overtired or unwell, particularly if you have a virus infection.
- Do not swim within two hours of a heavy meal.
- Be responsible for your own safety and consider the safety of others, and immediately report any poolside/pool hazard to the lifeguards, or at a competition, the warm up Marshalls or the Referee.
