Please meet Rhea, one of our newest Masters Swim members! Welcome to the club😃. Here is Rhea’s swimming story.
...
I was inspired to join a swim club after returning from a California vacation, where I saw a swim session taking place at the University of California, Berkeley. Swimming was one of the sports I enjoyed in high school, but having given it up for over a decade, I didn't know where to start. I turned to Google to find information about swim clubs in the area, and came across the Pickering Masters Splashers website.
I joined the Pickering Masters Splashers swim club in 2018 after attending their Information Session at the start of the season. Everyone from the club executives to the coaches were very welcoming, and I knew that if I was going to join a swim club, this would be the one!
The other swimmers I have met at the club have been great 🙂 They push me to do my best, and are wonderful people outside of the pool. I mostly attend the Thursday night swim sessions, and coach Iain always ensures we have a great workout!

This is Todd, one of the fabulous members of the Pickering Master Splashers Swim Club! Here is his swimming story...

I’ve always loved the water and began swimming competitively when I was 10 and reached the Michigan State finals in backstroke when I was 11. We then moved to Newfoundland where, in university, I learned to scuba dive. Always in the water in oceans, lakes and friends pools, I was asked to join a triathlon relay team at the Bala Falls Tri in 2012.
...
That’s when the “tri-bug” bit me and I began training and participating in sprint and full triathlons each season – reaching the podium for my age group at Wasaga Beach in 2018.
...
I joined Pickering Master Splashers in 2016 on a recommendation from Andy Manahan and really enjoy the camaraderie and rigour of our Monday and Thursday long swim course practices at the Pan Am Sports Complex. I love open water distance swimming and multiple kilometre swims at the cottage whenever I get a chance (with one of my teenage daughter’s following along in kayak).
...
PMS has helped me improve my stroke technique and breathing form and provides great structure and variety for my off-season triathlon training. Pool-side and locker room banter and challenging swim drills are another key reason I keep signing up – thanks for keeping it real and fun PMS! ...
