Welcome to Hitchin Swimming Club

HSC is a competitive swimming club. The club is SwimMark accredited and has in excess of 210 athletes who train at Hitchin Swimming Centre, St Christopher School, Letchworth and Inspire Luton.

Our aim is to:

  1. Provide a safe, enjoyable and friendly environment to allow all our swimmers to fulfil their potential as competitive swimmers;
  2. Develop and support swimmers at local, county, regional and national levels;
  3. Be seen as a centre of excellence for running an amateur sports club;
  4. Ensure those involved in running the club enjoy doing so.


 The entire running of the club is geared around achieving these objectives

Coaches, Committee and community support

The club is fortunate to have a very strong coaching staff and a supportive committee.  As a not for profit organisation, we are also very grateful to businesses or organisations wishing to support us.

Beyond Hitchin

We believe that playing our part in developing swimming beyond Hitchin is an important part of meeting our aims.

HSC plays a strong role within Hertfordshire ASA, supporting swimming across the county and ensuring that our viewpoint is heard. Lee Portingale has coached the Hertfordshire County Team. Grant Chivers regularly announces at County events and is the current Chair of the Hertfordshire Swimming League.
