Ever wondered how far you can take your swimming?

If you want to mix up, upgrade or move away from public lane swimming then our South West Swim club squads could be the thing for you and your regular swim training..

Now is the ideal time to join us as we ease through September and those final events of the season, and get ready to start our new yearly training cycle in October.

Our Autumn / Winter 26/27 squad timetable is as follows:
🏊‍♂️Mondays at Highworth Recreation Centre, 8:45-9:45pm (Fitness & Technique Rotation)
🏊‍♂️Tuesdays at Link Centre - Swindon, 6:00-7:30am (Threshold & Pacing)

🏊‍♂️ Sundays at Lime Kiln Leisure Centre, 12:30-1:30pm (Mixed focus on a weekly rotation)

Our flexible booking and cancellation policy allows swimmers to swim in any of these sessions! You are not restricted to a set session day and (with good planning) you don't pay for sessions you can't attend.

Good luck to all our swimmers taking part in the Cotswold Big Swim this weekend.

Sadly we won’t be there for this one, the first one we’ve not supported on site for over a decade!. This year the dates clashed with Coach Jason’s time off so we have other plans.

We will be watching the results for

Huge thanks to Coach Mark and Coach Ashley for keeping our squad swimmers active during my week of downtime.

We are so lucky to have them on board, along with Coach Johanna, who allow us to train year round. It’s very rare that one of these amazing coaches is unable to cover a session if needed, allowing us to only have planned breaks over the Christmas period and bank holidays.

I’ll be back on Monday evening as we continue to prepare athletes for their final events of the season. We start our new yearly training cycle from October, so if you want to get onboard with us for your regular training then get in touch now.

Keeping things moving in the holidays.

Coach Jason was back poolside this morning, mid holiday break, to deliver Tuesday squad. We still have athletes working hard for events in September and October, and we’re not about to let you down at this late stage of the season.

A tough threshold set was delivered, with some 100’s and 200’s as our main threshold push blocks, alongside some pre-exhaustion with 25’s and 50’s.
Great swimming everyone and great to see additional and new faces.

More to come this week!
Remember coach Mark is hosting Wednesday evenings session, which will have a mixed fitness and technique focus. Thursdays session will be hosted by Coach Ash, with a session delivering some kick and catch development work, alongside some longer swims.
