Club info

Our mission is to offer children the best opportunity in the Bramcote and surrounding areas to develop and achieve their maximum potential in the sport of swimming.

We aim to achieve this by providing a secure, caring and orderly environment where each child is encouraged to work together during training and to compete as a team as well as an individual.

We hold annual club championships, and encourage all members to compete in local and national competitions, participating in both team and individual events. We work closely with Broxtowe Council and local schools to increase our membership and develop the sport long term within the borough.

Bramcote Swimming Club takes non-swimmers from 4 to 7 and improvers from 8 years of age. They are taught the basic techniques of all four swimming strokes of breaststroke; freestyle; backstroke and butterfly and taken to a level of competency where they will be transferred to the splash pool in the main pool area. At this stage they will be considered for a place in one of our 3 excellent swimming squads.

The swimming squads represent the Club in competitive galas around the region. Bramcote hosts some of the galas, but we also travel to places like Hucknall, Mansfield, Hinckley, Braunstone, and Carlton to name just a few!

There are six sessions in the teaching pool where your child will be one of a small group of children all of a similar level of competence. When your child comes to the club their ability will be assessed to make sure they join at the right level. Assessments generally take place on a Tuesday evening. New Swimmers are assessed by the coaching staff and are placed into groups based upon their age and capabilities.

Main Pool swimmers are put into one of our three swim squads A, B or C, or in the development squad by the coaching staff, based on their age and capabilities.
