Welcome to the official Whitworth Swimming Club Website

 Click here for our new payment options starting 20th April 2010

The club meets on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at Whitworth Leisure Centre, John Street, Whitworth OL12 8BT. Sessions start from 6.55pm prompt

We are recruiting new members at all levels now, call Michelle Barker on:

01706 854152 or contact the club using our new "Contact Us" web-page

All members must be over the age of 5, and range from non-swimmers through to pre-competition standard. There is an annual fee to join the club, with a small charge to get into the pool on club nights. Whitworth Swimming Club is a "not for profit organisation" and all income monies are used to hire the pool, pay for equipment and invest in our volunteer swimming teachers via courses, training and education.

All the qualified swimming teachers (red and turquoise shirts) and teaching assistants (white) are volunteers and give up their time to teach at the club and attend training sessions and meetings. If you have the time and tenacity to" volunteer"and help us continue to teach high quality swimming to children and teenagers then please contact Michelle Barker about volunteering.

The swimming club is part of Rossendale Swim Forum and a member of the STA

(Swimming Teacher's Association). The club offers a range of high quality swimming activities, stroke technique and development, health and fitness swimming and a range of badges and awards that members can participate for. The club also has active links with our twin town in Kandel, Germany.

We strive to deliver good quality swimming lessons and progression through our groups as the swimmers improve. We are a club that focuses on stroke development rather than competitive swimming and coaching.
