Wellingborough Amateur Swimming Club
MASTERS
WASC has an active Masters section of about 50 adult swimmers training and competing following the principle of “Fitness, friendship and fun”. The WASC Masters Section is Swim 21 Accredited at Foundation Level.
Training
The Masters section is now evolving to cater for all ability levels from those graduating from adult learn to swim programmes to the ex-age group club star swimmer who has come through a competitive environment. We aim to keep 17 to 24 year old’s (Seniors) swimming.
