Falkirk Integrated Regional Swim Team

Falkirk Integrated Regional Swim Team Falkirk Integrated Regional Swim Team (FIRST) was created in 2006 to improve the level of competitive swimming of clubs in the Falkirk area.

It was intended that the program would achieve this by providing a focused training environment headed by a dedicated full time professional coach. This unique integrated partnership incorporates Falkirk Council Community Trust, Bo ’ness ASC, Falkirk Otter ASC, Grangemouth ASC and Scottish Swimming. The swimming clubs involved in the partnership have a total of 400 swimmers. The program has establ

ished itself as one of the leading programs of its kind with athletes competing successfully at District, Scottish, UK and International level. The program has established its own FIRST Open meet and FIRST Graded meet in the swimming calendar both of which are very successful and are regarded as excellent competition opportunities by other clubs. If you're thinking of joining one of the successful swimming program in Scotland then please feel free to email us directly from the contact page or by clicking on one of our 3 partnering clubs from the links page Bo'ness, Falkirk and Grangemouth. If you are not a member and wish to enquire about First, please send us a message via our Contact page and a member will respond to your enquiry as promptly as possible. We would also like hear from you about our website and if you have any suggestions for improvements, please feel free to get in touch.
