Masters Swimming

The IV National Masters' Swimming Championship is to be held in Mumbai on December 29 and 30, 2007.

The selection for the Karnataka team will be held in Bangalore on December 15 and 16, 2007 at the Corporation Swimming pool, Vijaynagar.

Even though it is quite cold to swim in Bangalore, I have heard that there are many brave souls training hard in preparation for this meet. Personally it has been difficult to get to the pool, but I am looking forward to racing over this weekend as I am sure it is going to be a lot of fun :-)

I got to know about the Masters meet only on December 2nd and that too by chance. Over the last week I tried to dig for more information about the event, over the internet, but I have not been too successful. Hence I have made an attempt to share whatever information I am able to find on International Masters swimming with the hope that the same applies here.The different age-groups for men and women are as follows:
25-29
30-34
35-39
40-44
45-49
50-54
55-59
60-64
65-69
70-74
75-79
80-84
85-89
90-94
95-99
