Race Day Blueprint — Masters Swimming Guide
Race Day Blueprint — Masters Swimming Guide
Prepare. Race. Recover. Repeat.
Multiple races. One competition day. Have you planned everything between them?
Masters swimming competitions can involve several races, long waiting periods, changing schedules and limited recovery opportunities.
The OXOLT Race Day Blueprint is a practical, research-informed digital guide designed to help Masters swimmers prepare for competition, manage the time between races and approach each event with a clear plan.

Why it matters
Our analysis of the 2026 Masters Short Course Nationals programme identified 1,065 swimmers who entered at least two individual events on the same day.
For many competitors, race-day preparation is about much more than one swim.
This guide helps you plan your time, prioritise the important decisions and develop a practical system that works around your competition schedule.
Who is it for?
