Martin makes history at the 🌍 World Masters Championships 🏆 Singapore🇸🇬

Singapore, August 2025

A huge congratulations to Martin, who proudly represented Bluefins at the World Masters Swimming Championships in Singapore last week. Competing in the 45–49yrs age group, Martin delivered an extraordinary series of performances, with world-class racing, British Records, and lifetime personal bests.

Results

🥇 50m Breaststroke — 30.00 (just off his own 🇬🇧 record of 29.77 set in June)

🥇 100m Breaststroke — 1:07.58 (🇬🇧 British Record & Lifetime PB)

🥇 100m Freestyle — 54.68 (🇬🇧 British Record & Lifetime PB)

4th 50m Butterfly — 26.67 (Lifetime PB)

4th 100m Butterfly — 1:00.85

A Remarkable Achievement

Three World Masters gold medals, two British Records, and three lifetime PBs — an incredible set of results at the very highest level of Masters swimming. To still be breaking personal bests in your late 40s is a testament to Martin’s hard work, dedication, and passion for the sport.

This performance adds another chapter to Bluefins’ Masters success story. It proves that age is no barrier to speed, performance, or chasing new goals. With this momentum, Martin now sets his sights on the next stage of his Masters journey — building on these world-class results and inspiring others along the way.

💙 Congratulations Martin — inspirational swimming on the world stage!
