Bishops Stortford Swimming Club

Bishops Stortford Swimming Club BSSC is a successful, friendly club offering swim lessons and competitive swim training

Bishop’s Stortford Swimming Club is one of the oldest competitive swimming clubs in Hertfordshire. Whilst we strive to be competitive we realise our responsibilities to encourage sport for all and this is reflected in a club structure which ranges from our Learn to Swim School, through to our competitive squads and Masters (over 18s). Bishop’s Stortford Swimming Club is a club that puts its swimmers first and with over 300 swimming learners and members, we aim to provide an inclusive experience catering for those learning to swim, those starting out on their competitive swimming careers and those striving to compete at Counties, Regionals and Nationals, or even Internationally. So if you’re looking for swimming lessons or a new competitive club, take a moment to look through our pages or head off to our website and see what we can offer you.

⭐ REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME SELECTION! ⭐

Huge congratulations to Harrison, Taras and Kenny, who have been selected by Swim England East Region for this season's Regional Development Programme! 👏

Selection is based on Long Course 200m Individual Medley performances, with the fastest swimmers across the East Region chosen to take part - making this a fantastic achievement for all three boys. 💪

The programme is an important step on the talent development pathway, bringing together some of the region’s most promising young swimmers for a series of development days throughout the season.

From time in the pool working on technique, skills and race development, to developing the mindset and knowledge needed to progress as an athlete, it’s a fantastic opportunity to learn, challenge themselves and meet other swimmers on the same journey.

🔥 Well done boys - a brilliant achievement and one you should be very proud of!

MORE NATIONAL SUCCESS FOR BSSC!

Three BSSC Masters swapped the pool for open water (and their trainers) at the British and English Aquathlon Championships, held at Blithfield Reservoir in the West Midlands on August 16.

The event combined a 750m swim with a 5km run – and our swimmers produced some superb results:

🥈 Lizzie – silver in both the British and English Championships
🥉 Lucy – third in the English 25–29 age group
👏 Dave – fifth in the 50–54 age group

A fantastic achievement from all three at national level. Congratulations from everyone at BSSC! ❤️
