What age is Masters in swimming?
Masters swimming is a special class of competitive swimming for swimmers 25 years and older. Premasters is normally included as well, from 18 years old (Canada, United States, United Kingdom and Australia) or 20 years old (Europe). Swimming is often hailed as one of the best exercises for people of all ages, particularly for older adults. It’s low-impact, gentle on the joints, and provides a full-body workout. Not only does swimming improve cardiovascular health and flexibility, but it also enhances mental well-being.Specifically, the study found that swimmers over the age of 35 who swam 3,200 to 4,500 metres three to five times a week postponed the ageing process. Swimming is therefore not only ideal for achieving longevity, but also for maintaining good physical condition and a high level of well-being.The oldest age group this far is Men, 105 – 109 years, with two Masters World Records by Jaring Timmerman (1909 – 2014), who had his first start in the tender age of 78. Technically, top-level open swimming is also a yes, as it takes maybe 8 – 10 years to get to the top (depending on athletic background).
