Islay Masters Swimming Club

Our motto is fitness, fun and friendship! Our serious aims include promoting adult fitness through swimming and to advance master swimming. However, we are not a serious bunch and the clubs sees itself as a lot more than that, as it brings a range of people together with a common interest and encourages everyone to get involved at every level.

Club members have been saddened by the death of former swimmer Mari Johnson from pneumonia at the all too early age of 62. Mari, who died in the Royal Alexandra Hospital on 21st December, was one of our earliest members and was part of the very first Islay team to venture to Greenock for the Inverclyde Open Championships. She was a very keen swimmer and a regular attender for many years, until a change of job made it difficult. Ironically, she had talked of returning to the club in recent months following her retirement, but it was sadly not to be. Our thoughts and sympathies are with her family on the loss of such a lovely lady.

We had our most successful competition ever at the Inverclyde Gala this year with Amy Logan and Sandy MacLellan collecting several Meet Records at the competition in September! Read all about on the News page and see the photos from the event.
