Sedgefield 75 Swimming Club’s adult member, Stuart Phillips, competed in the Swim England Masters National Championships at the end of October at the Ponds Forge International Swimming Centre in Sheffield. The competition is the top short-course (25m pool) competition in England for non-elite Adult swimmers and is grouped into ages with some competitors into their eighties.
Stuart swam in the 40-44 years group and swam two events, 50m butterfly where he posted 27.80 and finished ninth, and 100m freestyle which he swam in 57.22 seconds and finished 14th (out of 39). Coach John Moore was delighted with Stuart’s times.
The adults squad at Sedgefield trains using the same methodology as A-squad swimmers based on work at specific rates rather than volume and caters for all abilities.
