About Bletchley & District Swimming Club

Established in 1958 we are one of the oldest swimming clubs in the Milton Keynes area.  Originally formed when the open air swimming pool was built in Bletchley town to commemorate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.  The pool known as the ‘Queen’s Pool’ was opened on 7th June 1958.  This remained our home until its closure in 1974, when we moved to Leon School & Sports College Pool where we still train today as well as at Bletchley Leisure Centre.

We have an elected Committee to administer the club.  All committee members, teaches and assistant coaches give up their time on a voluntary basis. All teachers and coaches are SwimEngland qualified and these qualifications are updated on a regular basis through CPD, as are those of our lifesavers and first aid officers.

All the Coaches/Teaches have been Police DBS checked and have attended Child Protection seminars. We take the care of our young people very seriously and provide a safe environment as set out in the ASA Child Protection Guidelines.
