Why Masters Swimmers Join Us?
Spencer offers adult swimming training to masters swimmers. We all have different reasons for swimming with Spencer, and we take pride in being a club that welcomes all who wish to swim.
Whilst we are primarily a competitive master swimming club, you do not need to be a competitive swimmer to join us. Many of our swimmers participate in the major masters meets throughout the year. Some of our swimmers compete occasionally, while others focus on open-water races or triathlons. For others, their primary motivation is to keep fit or to improve their swimming ability by training with a qualified coach in a friendly and encouraging environment.
There is a broad range of abilities at our sessions, but they are training sessions and not swimming lessons. We expect all our swimmers to be able to attempt all four strokes and hold a turnaround time between 1:30-2:00 for 100m freestyle. Depending on the session set, we would expect to cover between 2.5k and 4k. You should also be familiar with basic lane etiquette and how to use a pace clock.
We have many members who are on the road back to fitness, and we’re supportive of those wanting to find sessions for adult swimming training to get back in shape. Many of our members started this way. Most importantly, we have fun and enjoy everything swimming has to offer. We hope you will find us a friendly bunch and enjoy the social aspects of the club as well as the swimming.

Spencer offers membership to adult swimmers situated outside of London who wish to affiliate with a registered Swim England swimming club for the purposes of entering competitive events or to hold a dual club membership and participate in the club’s relay teams at major competitions. This ‘out-of-town’ membership offers swimmers from across the UK and overseas the opportunity to be part of our competitive squad and community. Spencer maintains a ‘one-team’ ethos.
