More fantastic results in the pool last weekend - this time from some of our ‘older’ swimmers at the Ulster Masters LC Championships! Some fantastic results especially as they fit in their training whilst juggling work; family commitments, injuries & for some, the important role of coaching @swimcoleraine!!

Wishing good luck and fast swims to Campbell as he heads off to the Swim Ireland Open Championships in Dublin this week. The highest level of Irish gala and incredibly difficult to qualify for. This is just reward for all the hard work, in and out of the pool, he and his coaches have done this season.

  WELCOME TO COLERAINE SWIMMING CLUB

Coleraine Swimming Club was founded in September 1969 by Jim Foote, Helen Birch, Elsa Rowbottom, Eamon O’Hara and others with the aim of promoting the art of swimming. The Clubs objectives are to:

  • To respect the rights, dignity and worth of each individual
  • To ensure that the health, safety and welfare of each Club member is paramount
  • To positively encourage each swimmer to develop their full potential and provide feedback on progress
  • To encourage the spirit of fair play and reinforce its principles
  • To promote the enjoyment of sport as a priority
  • To actively encourage parents/guardians to participate in the development of the Club

The Club has approximately 30-35 volunteers who teach children at various levels of ability from starting to swim to the competitive level and the club membership stands around 117 members.

The Club swimmers are split into 2 groups, the Aquasprint, which is for children up to 10/11 years old, and the Provincial Towns League (PTL) Squad which is for more experienced swimmers who are 8 years and older. We also follow the Swim Ulster and Swim Ireland Pathway for Competitive Swimmers with many of our athletes attending the SU and SI galas and events.
