Nicola Latty, the chairperson of the Home Countries Masters Swimming Management Group, reflects on a challenging year for Masters swimmers and looks ahead to moving forward again in 2021.
Masters swimmers have demonstrated remarkable ingenuity to keep fit during 2020.
From weird and wonderful online fitness classes, to swimming using tethers and venturing into open water, many of us found interesting ways to keep going when pools were closed or coronavirus restrictions prevented us from training with our clubs.
From a competitive point of view, 2020 will be remembered as a year of missed opportunities and lost events.
