About Us

Information about BRSC

Bognor Regis Swimming Club (BRSC) offers competitive swimming training as well as a Learn to Swim programme run by qualified Teachers and Coaches. The Club was founded in 1965 and since that time has been providing swimming instruction for novices through to National standard competitive swimmers.

During the week and at weekends we run training sessions that are split into different squads based on the ability of a swimmer.

Competition

All members of the Club have the opportunity to compete in the Club Championships and those who reach qualifying standards are encouraged to swim in the Sussex County Championships, the Southern Counties competitions at Crystal Palace and National Championships.

The Club enters teams in competitive galas throughout the year and most weekends Bognor Regis Swimming Club are in action around the South of England. The Club participates in The Speedo League, Sussex League, Rother League, Premier League, Junior Cup, Wey League as well as Invitation Galas. Bognor swimmers also enter Open Meetings locally and further afield.

A team of experienced, fully qualified coaches, led by Chris Adams, ensure that swimmers reach their full potential.

Running the Club

The administration of the Club is by an elected Executive Management Team (known as the Committee) comprising mainly of parents of swimmers who give their time and expertise to the Club free of charge. The Club operates rather like a small business whose lifeblood is this freely given time by the parents and club members. An active fund raising team also organises different social events during the year for both the children and their parents.

What we are about

Although we have formal rules and procedures like any club the unwritten principles that we adhere to are:

	The swimmers are our main priority
	We encourage all levels of swimmers to train and take part
	Everyone is treated fairly
	We are a friendly club
	We spread the load of running the club between us so that no one person is over-worked

Working together has made Bognor Regis Swimming Club the friendly Club it is today.

Can I help?
Yes you can!

A lot of the roles within the Club do not require an in-depth knowledge of swimming and can be a great way of getting to know more about the club and the people in it.

If you can help in any way please contact any member of the committee.
