TSC Masters
Who are we
The 'Masters' Section caters for adults aged 19 and over, who wish to
train in a disciplined and structured way, with the possibility of
competing in various Club, County and Open Masters events.
When and Where we Train
The Masters train on Tuesday evenings at Teddington Pool, and Thursday
evenings at Feltham Airparks Pool. Both sessions are from 9pm -
10pm. Wednesday evening sessions, from 8:30pm - 9:30pm at the Lady
Eleanor Holles School Pool in Hampton, provides an alternative evening
session with an optional opportunity for focussed technique
improvement, particularly useful for those who have not swum at club
level for some time. The Saturday morning session at Feltham Airparks
Pool from 7 - 8:30am provides the opportunity for a longer session,
building stamina for breakfast at the local Tesco's.
Still Growing
Numbers have risen steadily since the Masters Section formed in 1998,
and membership now stands at over 50 swimmers. For competitions the
team is supplemented by some of the younger, and quicker 'Masters' who
still train with the main Club squad.
In Competition
The Masters Section has become increasingly successful in competition
across a good cross-section of age groups. We have finished as
runners-up to Barnet Copthall at the last three Middlesex Masters
Competitions, and have been represented at recent Southern Counties
and National Masters events. Our biggest success to date was winning
the Basingstoke Masters Aquadrome Inaugural Meet in Sept 2002, where
we beat 39 other teams. We have regularly achieved a top three placing
out of over sixty visiting teams at the Bracknell Masters Open, and
have been well placed at the Milton Keynes Masters Open over the past
few years. We have also sent a small team to compete in the Isle of
Wight Masters for the last four years, where success in the pool has
been complemented with a thoroughly enjoyable weekend away!
Come and Join Us
Teddington is a friendly, family Club, with the emphasis on
participation. Many of the Masters have children swimming in the Club,
and occasionally we even find ourselves competing with, or against our
children! If you are a reasonable swimmer, who is able to train hard
for a one-hour session, and would like to try us out, then either come
down one to any of the sessions and introduce yourself, or contact us
for more information.
