Novocastrian Masters Swimming Inc is a sports club located in Newcastle, Australia. Established in 1995, the club is a proud member of Masters Swimming Australia, which is an association of adult swimming clubs nationwide. It is also affiliated with FINA, the international swimming federation.
The club offers a welcoming environment for swimmers of all ages and skill levels who are interested in general fitness or competitive swimming. While personal coaching sessions are not currently available, informal training sessions are held every Wednesday and Saturday at Charlestown Pool on Dickinson Street, Charlestown.
Membership options are available for those who wish to compete in swim meets or simply be part of a swimming group without racing. To compete, individuals must join Masters Swimming Australia and then join the Novocastrian Masters Swimming club. For those who prefer non-competitive swimming, they can join Masters Swimming Australia as a 'non-swimmer' and participate in the club's training squad.
Newcomers to Masters swimming are encouraged to attend a few training sessions before joining to familiarise themselves with the club and its members. Support and information about Masters swimming are readily available from current members.
The club's leadership team includes President Nick Woodcock, Secretary David Bell, Membership Registrar Russell Pinkerton, Treasurer Kim Pinkerton, and Publicity Officer Maureen Woodcock. For any inquiries or additional information about the club, interested individuals can reach out via the provided contact information.
Membership fees consist of three components: Masters Swimming Australia, Masters Swimming NSW, and the club joining fee. For the year 2023, the Novocastrian Masters Swimming Club has waived its joining fee. However, the fee structure is reviewed each year. The annual membership fee grants various benefits to members.
Novocastrian Masters Swimming Inc invites swimming enthusiasts who are seeking fitness, friendship, and fun to join their vibrant and inclusive community.
