Welcome to Tavistock Swimming Club!
Tavistock Swimming Club is a friendly, thriving swimming club based at Meadowlands Leisure Pool in the market town of Tavistock, West Devon. It provides regular training sessions for those who want to compete at all levels and also has swimmers who train purely for fitness or fun.
Tavistock Swimming Club is a charity and is run by a committee of volunteers.
We welcome swimmers of all ages & abilities, including those with differences or disabilities. We have flourishing junior and senior sections and work with masters swimmers as well, offering them the chance to train in the 50m pool on Wednesday evenings as well as in our sessions at Meadowlands.
Masters swimmers: 8-9.30pm Wednesdays, Mt Kelly 50m pool: we have a session especially for Masters wanting to improve. There’s room for you! You do not need to be fast – we have all standards; people who are fast train separately. Get in touch and come along for a free taster.
