Masters is the name used for adult swimming. Internationally masters start at 25, they compete in 5 year age groups 25-29, 30-34 etc as high as is required.
In the UK most masters competitions also include an 18-24 age group, a few also include a 16-17 age group.
Masters swim times are typically stored on Swim England rankings in the same way as licensed times, but masters galas are not licensed and therefore cannot be used where a licensed time is required.
