Frankston Masters Swimming

Attention all members. We will have a special guest coach on the pool deck on Monday 14th May, be sure to be there.

In early March, Richard Grant coach of the Frankston Masters Swimming Club took time out from his full time job as a Fireman with the MFB to compete in the Emergency Services Games in Auckland New Zealand.

A keen athlete Richard came home with a swag of awards. Winning Gold in: the 50M Butterfly, the 4×100 relay, the Triathlon and surprisingly the Indoor Rowing. Silver: in the 50M, 100M, 200M, 400M Freestyle, the 200M IM, 4x50M freestyle relay as well as the cycling time trial. Bronze: in the 4x50M IM relay topping that off with the 1500M open water swim, a total of 13 medals. Fantastic effort Richard!

The pool will undergo maintenance over the easter break.

There will be NO club swimming on the 5th of April to the 9th of April.

We will be swimming as normal Thursday the 12th.

Masters Swimmer Gary Morton was named the Frankston Standard Leader Senior Sports Star winner. He said having children was the catalyst for diving back into the pool after a 20-year hiatus. ‘‘I just wanted to show them a way forward as far looking after themselves,’’ he said.
