Welcome

Reading Swimming Club, established in 1885, is one of the oldest in the country, and a founding member of the Berks and South Bucks County ASA. We are a large and progressive club, encompassing a learn to swim programme, development and senior squads, a thriving Masters squad (all abilities from social swimmers to world-ranked competitors), and a strong water polo section.  Our headquarters are at Central Pool, Battle Street, Reading, and we use a number of other venues for training and teaching. Our main club night is Thursday, when swimmers train from 4:30 p.m. at Central, and the club's management and members of the large volunteer team are on hand to answer your questions.

Reading gains promotion

Ellie and DougieHuge congratulations to all the members of this seasons Arena League team who, Saturday evening 10 Dec at Maidenhead, gained promotion to Division One West with an excellent second place in the Division Two West Final. 
Winners, Maxwell from Aylesbury stormed to an easy overall victory but this was expected with a team that contained 13 national swimmers and an old friend, Craig Gibbons, who will be taking part in next years Olympic Trials. 
An ex-Reading swimmer, Alex Perrin, will be joining us with his Dorking team who gain promotion in 3rd place. 
But Saturday evening was all about our youngsters and with help from some of our top Masters swimmers, we are now back in Division One West for next seasons campaign. 
Arena team 2011Big thanks to all our club officials who once again gave up their time to help with the gala, to the noisy spectators who help the kids with their vocal support, to our two team managers for this evening in Tricia Goble who, to her husbands delight, has lost her voice tonight and Michelle Wills who chewed her way through two pens after she'd finished her nails, to Harry for his continued help, support and total commitment to the club that is second to none and of course, to all the swimmers both young and not do young who made this campaign a very successful one. 
Thank you all and well done.

His favourite event is the 200 Breast, an event in which he is improving considerably day-by-day. His least favoured event is the 200 Fly!
Coach Harry has chosen Mitchell through his continued hard work in training and his excellent attendance record, a combination that has a proven track record of success in any form of life. He had good results at the recent Club Champs at the beginning of the month and looks forward to continuing his success through the season.
