How to join

Who can join?

Anyone who enjoys swimming and is reasonably comfortable with the basics! You don’t have to be a good swimmer to join: we’ll make you a better one and you’ll have fun in the process. (That’s the whole point.) If you are able to swim at least 25 metres front crawl, breaststroke and backstroke, we’d love to meet you. In terms of the Learn to Swim stages, most children join when they have completed Stage 6 but some are ready slightly before then.

Masters swimmers: as long as you are over the age of 18 years and can swim four lengths (100m) continuously, there is space for you. Simply swim for fun and fitness, or work towards being a competitive swimmer: there is expertise within the club, from short distance swimming to triathlon, and a friendly environment to help you reach your goals and more.

We welcome disabled and neurodivergent swimmers. Our coaches or a committee member will take the time to talk to you and your child to find out the best way of enabling you/ your child to get the most out of each session. This can be an ongoing process: we understand it might take time for your child to settle in and that what they require is likely to change as they get older and/or gain confidence and experience.

Get in touch with us on tavistockswimmingclub@gmail.com or via this form. We will be happy to answer your questions and to invite you along for a no-obligation free taster session.
