Mission Statement City of Belfast Swimming Club provides children and young people of all abilities the opportunity to learn and develop swimming skills in a fun club environment. We swim at a number of venues in the City making our programmes accessible to swimmers all over Belfast and the surrounding areas. Whilst we are an amateur club our swimmers are coached to the highest levels of excellence. Our Club is proud to have fielded both Olympic and Paralympic athletes: achievements not many swimming clubs can boast. Comprehensive training programmes beginning with Learn to Swim, Academy, Junior, Youth, Senior and High Performance squads are in place. We endeavour to cater for the complete swimmer from their first introduction to the water as preschoolers until they achieve their maximum potential, whether they develop their skills to compete seriously or simply to maintain high levels of physical fitness. This year we have added a Club Squad into our programme to cater for those swimmers who, due to school or University commitments cannot continue to swim at high levels of performance and match the training commitment that is necessary at that level. This squad enables swimmers to continue to swim and enjoy the Club environment and discipline of training without the pressures of competition. Further information is available from Committee. Our coaches have a proven track record of success in teaching and training swimmers of ALL abilities. They are an extremely dedicated team whose enthusiasm and commitment are second to none! As a Club we look forward to the challenges of the year ahead. We welcome new swimmers who have joined us for the first time and welcome back our returning members. We have high hopes for you all this season!! Enjoy!!
