Alan Parkins tries out the new Whitgift Pool
Masters at Haslemere On Sat 13th Feb, Alan Parkins and Mat Stone carried the momentum from K2 to Haslemere.This was a brand new format. 50s in all strokes plus 100 I.M and a "virtual 200 I.M" The result for this was achieved by adding together the times and points from the 50s. Alan won 5 golds ( including the 200 I.M) 1 bronze, a slight slip up there! Not to be outdone, Mat won a medal in each colour. They celebrated afterwards in the time honoured fashion, a curry. Creme de la Creme at K2 South East Counties Long Course Meet - Jan 30th/31st Birthday boy Paul Hare along with Alan Parkins, Mat Stone, Mark Bayliss, Lucinda Pollington, Frances Penwarden, Clare Grundy, Emma Warrington and Marianne Rooke-Allden, had an amazing weekend at K2. They amassed 14 Golds, 7 Silver and 3 Bronze individual medals, and 1 Gold and 6 Silvers in the relay events. The highlight for me as a coach was having all 5 swimmers who participated in the 400f/s winning a medal of one colour or another. Thank you all. It was a priviledge to be there with you - Pam | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The first 3 out of the water were professional triathletes! Makes our achievements even more impressive!) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Croydon Amphibians Masters' are a friendly and sociable group with over forty members. Many of our swimmers compete in Masters' competitions or triathlons, others swim to improve their fitness level, so our sessions are organised accordingly. Unfortunately our sessions are not suitable for beginners, but age is no barrier. We currently train four nights a week in a variety of pools in and around the Croydon area (see Venues page). We have aimed to make the structure of the Masters' section as flexible as possible as we appreciate that many of our members have other commitments outside of the club. Simply decide how many sessions a week you would like to swim and come on whichever evening suits you best, even though this may vary from week to week. Our fees are structured accordingly.
