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, which celebrates its centenary in 2011.
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 social scene), and a strong water polo section.
|
 Our headquarters are at Central Pool, Battle Street (just west of the town centre), and we use a number of other venues for training and teaching, including Bradfield College, Queen Anne's School in Caversham, Academy Sport in South Reading and Aldershot’s Garrison Pool.
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.

 Thames Valley Junior League Round 2
On Saturday 6th of March 2010 Reading Swimming Club hosted the second and final round of the Thames Valley Junior League. The event was a great success thanks to the squad coaches and the Learn to Swim coaches, all the many volunteers (mums and dads and older squad swimmers who helped at the poolside) and of course the young simmers themselves. Our swimmers did really well and half way through the meet we were in joint first place. Unfortunately we could not hold on to this and finished in third place, narrowly beaten by Bracknell in second and Wycombe finished as winners. The results of our swimmers are available here. The full report of the meet is now available here.

Twenty six members from the Evening Post sponsored Reading Swimming Club travelled to Jersey last weekend for the AIB Jersey Tigers Meet and what promised to be a very gruelling weekend. The aim of this weekend was to subject most of our swimmers to a long 3 day meet for the first time and to get them to understand the importance of resting and preparing for such a meet. See also >>
