The start of a new season always brings fresh energy ⚡ and new ideas 💡. For Bluefins, this September was no different.

From Lessons to Squads — The Next Step Swimming lessons give children a fantastic foundation. They learn the strokes, gain water confidence, and start to enjoy the rhythm of regular swimming. But many families reach a stage where lessons alone no longer feel enough. Lanes can be crowded, age ranges are wide, and the opportunity for progress starts to feel limited.

Whether you’re a child progressing from swimming lessons, a teenager ready to step into competitive training, or an adult keen to swim with a supportive Masters community, there’s a place for you at Bluefins.

What a week it was for six of our Bluefins Masters swimmers who travelled to Seattle for the U.S. Masters Swimming National Championships. Across four days of racing, the team brought home an incredible medal haul across sprint, middle-distance, and relay events — showcasing both individual brilliance and team spirit on the international stage.

This week was one to remember for Basingstoke Bluefins as we welcomed the AP Race Team to our club — bringing world-class talent, inspiration, and knowledge straight to our swimmers and families.
