Welcome to Hertford Swimming Club
Hertford Swimming Club is a friendly teaching & competitive club who offer a high standard of coaching to our swimmers. We are affiliated to Swim England East region. We are SwimMark accredited.
We aim to give each swimmer the opportunity to realise their full potential, to take pride and pleasure in continuously improving their fitness and performance, and to develop team spirit, sportsmanship, self-discipline and self-esteem.
Our Swim Academy aims to teach children in years 1 to 4 to be proficient swimmers, We also have coached squads for swimmers to develop their skills and compete. We have a competitive Water Polo section for adults and children, and a Masters section for adults over 18 years to train for stroke development, fitness or competition.
We use Hartham, Haileybury and Simon Balle pools for training. We compete in the Arena, Herts Major and Peanuts Leagues and in many local galas and open meets. We hold our Club Championships in June and July and present our medals and cups in October. We hold our AGM in September.
