The Flipper has been around since 1990. I was swimming with BOK Masters in Huddersfield and there was a suggestion that though we all swam together there was not yet a feeling of being a social group. The squad was still relatively new.
I suggested a squad newsletter, and off we went. Some time ago it moved to the web, and then I took up running when off swimming injured, and we have what we have. Welcome. Please do stick around and leave (polite) comments.
Hello David
I believe you have the good(mis?!)fortune to know Ester Wegher from the Stainland Lions?
She has pointed me in the direction of this website with regards Masters swimming. Being a former swimmer I’m interested in getting back into swim training again so, in one short question, whats the BOK masters all about and would an over weight ex swimmer be welcome to join?
One other thing, I noticed you’re after open water swimming suggestions. Salford Water Sports centre does lifeguarded open water swimming sessions http://www.salford.gov.uk/openwaterswim.htm if you are prepared to venture out of calderdale.
Cheers
Richard
