Join Brockworth Swimming Club
At Brockworth new members are always welcome, whatever your age or ability. We are a small, friendly and competitive club, who are aiming to achieve Swim 21 accreditation, that offers something for all levels of swimmers. If you are interested in joining, the next few pages will fill you in on all the details you will need to become a Brockworth swimmer.
The Club was formed in 1976, and is based at Brockworth Sports Centre in Gloucester. In the last 7 years the club has become very successful and has been represented at all levels up to the British National Championships at Ponds Forge pool in Sheffield.
The club regularly competes in competitions all over the country, spreading from north to south, which could be friendly galas and leagues, or county competitions, the South-West Regional Championships or even the National Competitions. Every swimmer in the Brockworth squad is regarded as important and is included in our fixtures.
Up to 7 training sessions are available a week (in the top squad) and at Brockworth we believe in complete flexibility for you. Unlike some other local clubs, we don't tell you which sessions you must attend every week, and we won't restrict your pool time just because you can't make every session or miss out a couple of sessions because of other commitments. We also won't make you pay for sessions which you don't attend - we believe this is just unfair. It is completely up to you which sessions you attend, and no matter how many you attend you will still be regarded as important.
The best way to enquire about a new membership is to come along to Brockworth Sports Centre during one of our training sessions there. (Click here for a location map & training session times list). We can give you a Water Test to assess your ability and suitability for competitive swimming. You will normally be allowed a few free sessions to see if you like it.
We also however swim many of our sessions at St. Edward's Pool in Charlton Kings, so if it is more convenient for you to come here, you are welcome to! You can click here for a location map & training session times list.
If you have any enquiries at any time, please do not hesitate to talk either to Sharon Tuck (Treasurer), Helen Brown (Team Manager) or Kat Porter (Head Coach) and they will go through your queries with you.
