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!

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
