Masters Swimming

Anyone do this? Is it any good for building towards tri? I go into drowning mode when I do anything other than freestyle, my reading would suggest some don't do much of other strokes some do a fair mix so it would probably depend on the individual club. My understanding is they're not coached swims as such they're just a bunch of people doing the same set session?

Anyone know of anything out in Sandyford direction?

Some seem to start quite late in the mornings 7am, was thinking of hooking up with one in Clondalkin but time made it a no go. Have been meaning to try Belvo but they're 7am as well, which doesn't really suit...

The idea of me getting up early to train is very ambitious but sure you never know. Might make it my new year training resolution or something.

interested

Close to Sandyford is Glenalbyn
Never attended but know quite a few that have / do.
As masters sessions go I've only ever heard good things.

The 33 metre pool is, well, entertaining

Ugh my gym has a 33m pool. Pain in the arse having to do an extra length for every 1000 metres to make up distance when you're counting 3 lengths as 100m.
