This year we will be focussing more on pool competitions and encouraging some of our newer swimmers to have a go at some pool races. These races should always be seen as a race against yourself and the clock, not other people and give you a great sense of achievement. Again, with summer on us already, we will start working on race skills - starts, turns and finishes, along with developing speed. Technique is always emphasised year round.
There are always events around Australia, so if you travel there are plenty of opportunities to find a Masters club to train with, or enter an OWS in an exotic location, or find a swim meet to enter.
All Meets including camps, clinics and open water events can be found here. See the EVENTS on the right of the home page.
To see more about Masters Swimming and the events on offer we encourage you to navigate around the MSV website here Masters Swimming Victoria

Many of those training with us swim in the Lorne Pier to Pub but there are so many on offer to keep you motivated in training all summer. You will notice that as the weather warms up we will do some specific open water training sessions at Prahran, especially Wednesday morning with Anita.
Calendar for COUSINS SERIES
If you want to do the longer swims, enter early as they often have restricted numbers.
Go to www.cousinsswimmingtours.com for more information on each swim and for registration for the series. Registered swimmers can win points for a Masters Swimming Club trophy (new this year) as well as great prizes including a swimming trip to Europe. There is a choice of 3 categories of swim - over 2km and under 2km which is divided into two groups - with or without wetsuits. Funky Trunks are sponsoring the series and registered swimmers have the option to buy the series bathers (you have to wear them in the non wet suit category) at a very, very cheap price. Best of five swims count to your final total.
Remember that you can buy the latest Funky Trunks and Funkitas at discount by using code MSV2015 from www.funkytrunks.com.
