Names. There are no names.
No outside influences as such.
Just influences that create a mood of a time.
An isolated old run-down open-air swimming pool.
Here, somehow, time stands still.
In writing this series I have endeavoured to both organise my thoughts to a point where I believe they are meaningful but also to entertain Masters swimmers – whoever they are, wherever they may be.
Enjoy.
It is the beginning of the 1980’s. The beginning of the Thatcher era. Masters swimming in the UK is still in its infancy. Spencer Swim Team Masters have not long been in existence since their founding in the late 1970’s.
