Basingstoke Bluefins’ Michelle Matson explains why team spirit is so important for Masters.
Pink hats, t-shirts, nail polish and all the rest of it are so much more to our team than vanity; they represent fun, friendship and a very strong sense of team spirit.

Basingstoke Bluefins Swimming Club runs a very successful Learn to Swim programme, during term time, for children from the age of three. It provides a fantastic opportunity for children to develop water confidence and swimming skills, in a fun, yet structured way. Our structured teaching programme follows the ASA’s National Plan for Teaching Swimming and is sponsored by Southern Water.
As a competitive swimming club, Basingstoke Bluefins has an extensive programme of competition, to enable all swimmers to get the opportunity to compete at their own level.
The club offers coaching and competition for all ages at three swimming pools in and around Basingstoke. The competition squads operate under the careful guidance of our head coach Graeme Thomas and his team of dedicated and experienced coaches.
Basingstoke Bluefins Swimming Club Masters Squad offers professionally coached and competitive swimming opportunities for adults in North Hampshire.
Swimmers compete in pool-based swimming events from local to international level, while others train for triathlons, open-water swimming or just general fitness.
Sunday and Tuesday's at the Basingstoke Aquadrome.
We play in the Hampshire league, (A and B teams) South East region League and invitational Tournaments. Friendlies are arranged to introduce players into the squad and allow a transition from the junior squads.
The Sharks squad was formed 7 years ago to help develop disabled people to reach their potential and weren’t able to attend a mainstream club.
We are a relatively small but friendly squad within Bluefins and train for an hour on either a Friday 19:30 - 20:30 or Sunday 18:00 - 19:00 depending on ability.
