Thanks to Bob for this latest news from the Isle of Wight Masters Swim Club. Ed
Godshill Model Village owner, Stuart Dyer has been awarded the Isle of Wight Masters Swim Club’s Most Improved Swimmer of 2015 trophy by the Club’s chairman, Bob Cooper.
This was at the early morning session at The Heights, Sandown. The Club swim every Tuesday and Thursday mornings between 7.30 and 8.30am.
Stuart said,
“I really enjoy coming to these early sessions as it freshens you up for the day ahead as well as helps to keep you fit, and it is good to be with like-minded friends in the pool.
“Being a member of the Wight Triathlon as well, gives the swimming more relevance.”
Club chairman, Bob Cooper, said
“You don’t have to be involved with competitive swimming to be a member of The Marlins.
“Although we are proud of the efforts of a most competitive swimmers, including Jenny Ball, and Lyndsey Shenton, the Club is there for anyone who wants to use swimming to assist in keeping fit and to start the day with a swim.
“Our President, 88 year old Joan Kidd, who swims twice a week, is a prime example of the benefits of swimming. Should anyone be encouraged by this award they can go to our Website, IOW Marlins Masters SC and get full details there.”

The Club is also holding their Annual Open Swim Meet at Medina on Saturday 30th January 2016, where there is a large number of Masters swimmers coming to the Island to take part, but there are still places available for late entries.
