Masters-Relay-Team-Glasgow-2010Also we have some relay teams represented in the top rankings.The mens 4x200 Long Course Freestyle Team of Karl Buchholtz, Iain Gerrard, Graham Edmunds and David Stannard are ranked 1st in the world

 

 

Other top ten placings were:
 
Mens 4x100 Free Long-Course          4th (Karl Buchholtz, Iain, Graham and David Stannard)
Mixed 4x200m Free Short-Course     2nd (Katie Henderson, Karl Buchholtz, Michelle Harrison and me)
Mixed 4x200m Free Long-Course      2nd (Katie Henderson, Karl Buchholtz, Helen Whittle and Graham Edmunds)

We have approximately 60 members, but room for more. Come along and try a session. Speak to the coach on poolside and they will guide you to a suitable lane for your fitness level. Sessions cost around the same as a public swim (although without Reading Passport) but give the challenge of working to a set programme with like-minded swimmers of similar ability.

Swimmers can choose the number of sessions they wish to swim each week and fees are set accordingly. The majority swim between 2 and 3 sessions a week.
