How good at swimming do I need to be?

While members need to be competent swimmers, they don't have to be experts to join. The minimum standard is that you can swim a length of freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke.

You will be placed in an appropriate group and lane to suit your ability and our coaches will help your improve your technique, skill and strength. The main thing is that you enjoy swimming and want to learn.

For those taking lessons, a good starting point for joining the club is around Level 6. If you are thinking about joining, the best thing to do is come and talk to our coaches, or better still, have a trial session.

Benefits of joining

Joining a Swimming Club can be beneficial in a number of different ways. Not only will it help to improve your confidence and skills in the water it will also help to improve and maintain your overall level of physical fitness.

Swimming in a Club can help develop important life skills. Training sessions require commitment, discipline and organisation – all useful life skills. If you decide to compete then learning to win and to lose is also a valuable lesson for life.  Setting personal goals and achieving your personal best times encourages motivation and can be very rewarding.

The social side of swimming is great too. You will be able to meet people who share a common interest, build new friendships and enjoy being part of a team.
