Our Club - Fun, Fitness and Friendship
The Ruislip Northwood Masters Swimming Club is for adult swimmers who wish to continue swimming in a competitive environment. The club was established in 1989 with the first training session coached by Ron Gilder.
Currently we have 56 members, ages ranging from 18 to 80+. Our Club encompasses the whole range of ability from casual fitness swimming to highly organised competitive swimming. To qualify as a 'masters' swimmer you need to be 25 years of age or over, but there are also a number of competitions for younger adults above the age of 18. The RNSC Masters' motto is fitness, fun and friendship, and we have done our best to foster all three of these masters priorities. As adults we are forced to fit training around the 'real world' therefore each and every swimmer sets their own manageable goals. Swimming is great for improving fitness generally and this may be the simple goal of many members; other swimmers look to compete and therefore wish to improve their stroke technique and times.

RNSC Masters hold four training sessions a week at two different pools in Bushey and Northwood.

RNSC Masters offers more than just training: we would like to think of ourselves as not only team members but friends which hopefully makes turning up about more than just the training.
We hold regular social events to encourage everyone to get together, get to know each other and enjoy themselves. We organise trips to competitions at home and abroad and regularly participate in a number of Masters meets. |
ASA issues award to Ron Gilder for outstanding contribution to swimming
We're proud to announce that the ASA has issued an award to Ron for his outstanding contribution to swimming.
Tony who runs a coaching session at RNSC Masters on a Saturday morning is seen here presenting the award to Ron at the Club's Annual event. Our Head Coach Ron Gilder retires
Ron Gilder has been coaching the Ruislip Northwood Masters swimmers since the start! Ron recently retired from coaching at the end of December 2011. Everyone at the Club wishes Ron the very best in his retirement.
Ron has been a true inspiration at RNSC and was part of the team that formed the Masters Club in 1989. We are all going to miss Ron so much, but we really do hope he will come along for an occasional swim on a Saturday morning, and continue to join us at our regular Club events.
