The On-X in Linwood feels like home at the moment…

After the Renfrew Baths Spooky Splash last week - well done to all of our younger swimmers who raced, you were awesome! - this weekend has seen our older swimmers at the same venue for the REN96 Open Meet!

Friday night saw some of our swimmers race in the distances events [1500m and 800m Freestyle] as well as the 50m Free! It was a great night of racing which set us up nicely for the rest of the weekend!

Saturday saw a large team race late into the evening with lots of great performances and learning taking place!

Today sees even more swimmers race and we can't wait to get started!

A big thanks to all of our officials on poolside and helping with the smooth running of the meet. Thank go to REN96 for their hospitality!

Good luck everyone!

We have been busy looking at SAST results over the years with the aim of pulling together Club Records...

And we have finally been able to create our Open Records - the fastest swimmers (Male/Open and Female) in both short and long course in each event! Congratulations to everyone included! 🎉🎉🎉

Hopefully we have them all correct (we used the British rankings and our club database)... If not, any ex-swimmers just give us a shout and we will look into it! 🙏

Who will be next to add their name to our Open Club Records…?!

Next, we will be working on Age Group records, which will hopefully give our younger swimmers something to aspire to! They will be shared when completed.

You can also find our Club Records on the website here:

What a week! With one day to go on our warm weather camp in Albir, Spain, we wanted to thank for all their help in the lead up to and during our camp!

The swimmers have had a ball and worked really hard in the pool... And we've got our finisher set first thing in the morning 💪

The support from and the team at Albir, in the hotel and at the pool, has been first class!

It has been great to see our swimmers get the opportunity to race with some brilliant performances and improvements on show!

We had a huge team at the Ayrshire Sportsability Gala at the Galleon in Kilmarnock yesterday.

There were lots of smiles before hand and even more bling after the meet! Some brilliant performances even with the back to back racing each of the swimmers experienced!

Well done swimmers!
