EMASA MASTERS DEVELOPMENT DAY - 22nd January 2017
Please find attached information on a Masters development day. I am circulating to all clubs because it was noticeable that at this years Midlands Masters there was a marked increase in entries from clubs that don't regularly have entrants, so better to tell everyone than miss someone out.

WASA Masters Secretary

British Masters Sheffield 28th 30th October
Hello All
We are going to be a select band of swimmers in Sheffield this year with the majority of us being 'very very experienced swimmers' ok....'over 50' is a shorter description ...alright 'old' is even shorter.
Having looked at the timings of the relays and all your individual event timetables we have this year only entered 5 relays - the detail of which is attached.
Sorry Amber, Vicki and Alex not to have a fourth 19/24 age grouper to make up a team with you.
Jenny and Paul, sorry not have a team race for you this time around but I hope you are happy to be reserves (definitely not reserved).
You will see that some of the teams have 5 people named so it may be a case of time trials at dawn.
Please let me know if you envisage any problems.
With warm wishes to you all and keep well.

September saw a group of CHE Masters old, current and new attend the B.E.S.T. Centre Masters Training Camp in the build up to the Midland and British Masters Championships in October.
9 x 2 hour sessions in 6 days saw Kate, Hayley, Stevan, Craig, Fatima & new recruit Mike push themselves to the absolute limit both in and out of the water. A great time was had by all.
ASA Masters Championships 2016
Hello All Camp Hill Eds swimmers.
Hope you are enjoying the summer and good health.
The entries are now open for Sheffield - 28th - 30th October,
Entry Details
I thought I would send you the link with the schedule and the event conditions so that you can start to plan and decide which events you wish to go for. This is really to make you aware, if you aren't already, that when entries do open you should get yours in quickly. In amongst the conditions there are the following clauses.
4.2 The Promoter reserves the right to close entries before the published closing date should the event reach maximum capacity.
4.3
Qualifying times may be used in which case swimmers entering an event will have
had a time recorded on the ranking data base faster than or equal to the
qualifying time set for that event and achieved in the previous 24 months
Condition 4.2 was applied at the GB Long Course championships earler this year
and several regular competitors were caught out and could not swim in their
preferred event.
Condition 4.3 has not to my knowledge been fully implemented at a GB/ASA Masters
champs yet so I wouldn't worry about that one this year; The ASA would have
published the qualifying times by now if that was going to happen.
Anyway - after all that - here is the link to the Event details
National Masters
Please let me know if you will be swimming at Sheffield with Camp Hill
Edwardians and then any availability for inclusion in possible relays ... 4
x50m, 4x 100m 4 x 200m.
Enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend

We have a decent size squad (Team Sheet) heading down to London for this very large prestigious event. There is very little provision for spectators but we are advised that both pools will be streamed "live" on the LENTV channel. See... LEN - Dailymotion The stream doesn't appear to work on iPhone etc. as it needs "Flash Player" but works on PC and some Android devices. Hopefully LEN will publish detailed start sheets soon so you'll be able to see us all perform!
Keep checking 25-29 May 2016 - Masters Championships page for details - Good Luck everyone
New design Swim Hats and Polo Shirts now available to order. See the new Shop section of the website
Entries are now open but limited to 14,000 entries on a first come, first served basis. To swim "just" relays you will also have to register. Full detail can be found at European Masters
From 1st February 2106 the training fees will be £4 per session - this is the first increase in over 5 years. I'm sure you will agree these still represent great value for money for the facilities and coaching expertise we utilise.
It's finally arrived! - Hopefully you will like the new website, new logo and new club identity. Please bear with us as we roll out more and more content. Let us know your comments, ideas, feedback and any problems you have viewing the detail, hopefully you can view it on any platform, browser or device, let us know if you can't. mail@chesc.org.uk
Any news, pictures, meet reports etc. please send us the 'copy' for publication. mail@chesc.org.uk

Sunday 15th November 2015 –ASA Masters & Seniors Intercounties Competition–Midlands heat – Rugby
Bernard Wills, Trevor Clark, Anne Bourne, Kate Chase, Hayley Bettinson and Amber Coughlan were all selected to represent Warwickshire in the annual ASA Masters & Senior Age Group Intercounties Competition. This annual event is the finale of the Masters competition calendar year and as always was keenly contested around the country.
28 counties took part at different venues throughout the country. Warwickshire comprehensively won the Midlands regional heat but was just 53 points short of taking National top spot from Yorkshire.
Trevor Clark, as swimmer manager, yet again did a remarkable job in bringing together top flight swimmers ranging in age from 18 to 75 years to fill Warwickshire’s allotted lane in every single event of the programme. This is no mean feat and he has masterminded many County team selections over the past decade producing 3 first places, 2 second places and a third place.
Between them the CHESC swimmers swam 18 events and helped amass more than 25% points out of Warwickshire’s team total of 1553 pts. An impressive contribution with some excellent and encouraging swims.
