Not for Profit
LSC is a 'not for profit' organisation with a committee comprised of volunteer parents. We have a full time Head Coach, Stuart McCrea, who is supported by a coaching team that are motivated, enthusiastic and experts in their field, delivering a progressive coaching programme from Leatherhead Swimming Academy through to our National Squad.

Training Hours
Younger swimmers are offered the opportunity to train between 1 and 6.5 hours per week, depending on their age and ability. The emphasis is on technique, development of all-round skills and aerobic fitness. All of the training and development programme is in line with the Amateur Swimming Association’s Long Term Athlete Development plan and Swim 21. Elite swimmers are offered the opportunity to train up to 15.5 hours per week.
LSC Swim Trials
Potential new joiners are offered a free Swim Trial, for about 20 to 30 minutes. This free trial is designed to assess technique for all 4 strokes and stamina, which helps to determine which LSC Squad would initially best suit the potential swimmer.
For all Swim trial & /or Membership enquiries please contact the Membership Secretary via the Joining Enquiry Form or via [email protected].
