Bolton Swimming Club provides a supportive family environment. We value and encourage our swimmers to help them fulfil their personal potential.
Bolton Swimming Club was first formed in 1872. It is one of the oldest swimming clubs in England. Our aim is to teach and coach swimming in a safe, friendly, and family-orientated environment.
We are a competitive club, with a club team in several leagues as well as entering individual swimmers in local age group competitions.
Our more advanced swimmers compete at Lancashire County and Northwest Regional level and in some cases at English National and British Championship level.
We monitor every swimmer’s progress carefully and, when appropriate, we encourage individuals to enhance their training by also joining one of the elite level squads in the area. We strive to make the journey of competitive swimming enjoyable and healthy, especially by developing lifelong skills and friendships. Free trials available.
