Our squads

Masters & Seniors

The largest β€” and we'd say most successful β€” Masters & Seniors squad in Kent. Seventy adult swimmers training for fitness, friendship and the occasional national podium.

Who it's for

Adult swimming, your way

πŸŽ“Seniors Β· 18–24

Keep training and racing after the junior pathway β€” or come back to the water after a break.

πŸ’ͺMasters Β· 25+

Structured coached sessions for every adult level, from fitness swimmers to national champions.

🏟️Where we train

Erith Leisure Centre and Thamesmere Leisure Centre β€” session times are in the club's session times document.

Fees: annual membership (due on joining, then each 1 February) plus a monthly squad fee β€” full schedule on the fees page.

Racing (if you want to)

Compete as much β€” or as little β€” as you like

Racing is entirely optional, but when you're ready there's a full calendar:

  • Team galas β€” informal and great fun.
  • County Championships β€” May–June.
  • Regional Championships β€” through the year.
  • National Championships β€” every October.
  • EDSC Masters Meet β€” our own meet, incorporating the KCASA Masters Long Distance Championships.
