Looking for a swimming club?


Recommended Posts

We have spaces for swimmers at our friendly ASA swimming club for children and adults. We run two sessions a week which are coached by experienced qualified ex competitive swimmers who give their time for free:


Thursdays at Dulwich College pool, 8:00pm-9:00pm

These sessions are fantastic for teens and adults (although strong younger swimmers, year 6 and above are very welcome). Thursday swimmers need to be able to swim at least two lengths (50m) comfortably.


Sundays at Alleyn?s School pool, 11:50am-12:50pm

These family sessions are for all swimmers aged 7+. Be prepared for lessons in all four strokes/ diving and turns over widths and lengths to build stamina and technique. There are fun team relays to finish.


Come and swim with your child/teen, or watch on the side while they do the work! The emphasis is on enjoyment, fitness and technique. This is not a competitive club.


It?s pay as you go, just ?5 on Thursdays and ?3 for the Sunday session, with an annual membership of ?25 for kids (under 18 and students not in full time employment) and ?50 for adults.


Please PM us for a first session.

Thanks for your interest. There are still some spaces available - drop us a message at [email protected]. It's a very friendly club, and a great way to improve your swimming without having to compete. Sessions will start again early in the new year. Let us know if you are interested, or if you have any questions.

My daughter (11) also swims there - both sessions - Thursday evening and Sunday morning. I agree, its a very friendly and fun club and while it isn?t competitive like some, the coaching is excellent as well as effective and also very enjoyable. Instead of endless lengths, training is also incorporated into fun relays and games (there are, obviously also lengths too!). There are all sorts of levels of swimmers and so no one would feel left out. The improvement in my daughter?s swimming (and fitness) has also been considerable, within a short space of time. She loves it and can?t wait for the next session. I reckon it?s one of the best kept secrets in Dulwich!

Thank you SusanLMBrown and dulwichbloke. Delighted that your daughters get so much out of the club.

We still have some space on Thursdays 8-9pm at Dulwich College sports centre. This is suitable for adults and (pre-)teens who are comfortable swimming a couple of lengths at a time. ?5 a session drop in, with an annual membership fee of ?25 under-18s, ?50 adults. Email us at [email protected] to sign up for a trial session.


Excellent coaching for excellent value - and a great way of relieving exam/work stress!

    • Anywhere near the Overground/Windrush due to its excellent transport links.  You will get larger place in SE23 for example that will give you enough spare cash for private school if that's what you really want but states schools generally good, reflecting the demographic  Easy to get to the bustling streets of East Dulwich but in ten years see what happens to Forest Hill centre.  The whole of the area is full of green spaces. Access to East Croydon for days out in the South Coast   
    • Could East Dulwich or Forest Hill work? Some properties on Underhill Road and Wood Vale have large gardens e.g.  https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/161079866#/?channel=RES_BUY  You'd be close to the Horniman, Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye. Transport might not be what you're looking for though e.g. a 15 minute walk to Forest Hill station for the East London line or mainline into London Bridge.
    • I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't. 
    • It was you who  made it personal in the first place,  Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets,  and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in  response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app  and go to sleep 😴💤
