We are Boldon CA Swimming Club! We provide swimming lessons, skill development, training sessions and competitive opportunities for all of the younger members of our community from all areas of South Tyneside (including Boldon Colliery, West Boldon, East Boldon, South Shields, Jarrow, Cleadon and Whitburn) and beyond (with some people coming to us from a lot further away). Our club was founded in 1978 with the basic idea of making swimming ‘open to all’ of the younger members of our local community. Over 45 years later we’re still going strong, with our team of dedicated volunteers providing quality lessons and training sessions to about 180 members. If you have a swimmer age 5 or over and are interested in them joining our club, find out how on the Join us page or get more information from the About us section. |
Our AGM will be held in the Roberts Room of the CA on Thursday 22nd May at 7pm. All of our swimmers (and a parent/guardian for anyone under-18) are invited to attend, but only those over 18 have a right to vote. |
We swim in the 4 lane 25m pool in Boldon School Sports Centre and the pool in Boldon Community Association. Our membership ranges from non-swimmers (age 5 and over) to the Masters League swimmers (with unlimited age range). Our main sessions run on Monday evenings when the majority of swimmers attend one of ten sessions with varying abilities. We hold additional evening teaching and training sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Our competitive members regularly swim in local and regional galas in the North East, and in some national galas around the country.
We are affiliated to Swim England and are an affiliated member of the Royal Lifesaving Society.
Our club has held Swim England's SwimMark accreditation (formerly Swim21) since 2009.
