Accrington Swimming Club

Based at Hyndburn Sports Centre

The Aims of the Club

The Club aims to provide a safe and enjoyable environment, recognising the uniqueness of individuals and together with other swimming organisations provide a quality of swimming that offers opportunities for the potential of each person to be realised.
Our aim is that all our swimmers should feel safe and happy at the Club and in the water environment.

About the Club

The club has about 135 members whose ages range from 6 years to over 60 years.

Our swimmers abilities range from non-swimmers to gala squad swimmers. We also have a Masters group for the older swimmer.

Swimmers after they reach a certain standard, and particularly those who do well in the Club Championship are expected and encouraged to participate in the Friendly League Galas. Parents are asked to encourage their children in this. Besides these galas the club also offers training in Water Skills, Personal Survival Skills, Life Saving Skills and encourages distance swim certificates.

We have 4.5 hours of water time per week at Hyndburn Sports Centre.

History of Accrington Swimming Club

The Club was founded in 1911.

It has a number of very long serving members still taking an active part in all aspects of the Club in particular teaching the younger swimmers.

All instructors are volunteers and do not get paid but are qualified to teach swimming and regularly attend courses run by Lancashire Sports and through the Amateur Swimming Association. The Club has its own championship galas which are held in the latter part of the year and takes an active part in the local friendly league.
