Joining the Club
Lewsey Centre Swimming Club is a local community swimming club which competes in local swimming galas, holds Splash Galas and has an Annual Awards evening. The club is open to all children (able-bodied and disabled) who are able to swim 10 metres.
Age range: 4-18 years and Masters
We are a friendly swimming club based at Lewsey Park Pool, Pastures Way, Luton. There are two parts to our Swimming Club.
The first being the beginners section (Junior Dolphins), where you can join and learn to improve your strokes, gain swimming badges and progress up to the competitive side of the club (Senior Dolphins).
The competitive side (Senior Dolphins) compete in local swimming galas, the Chilterns League, and our own Splash Galas. In addition, swimmers will be encouraged to compete in the County Championships when they achieve the qualifying times.
An Annual Awards evening is held as well as a number of social events throughout the year. We are affiliated to Bedfordshire ASA/East Region District ASA and have achieved Swim 21 accreditation, the ASA’s club development programme in the skill development category.
All swimmers wishing to join the club are required to attend a free trial session.
They will then be informed by the coach conducting the trial whether they are accepted or not and if so into which squad training group. Successful swimmers must complete an ‘Application for Membership’ form and will be issued with a membership card on payment of the fees. All members are required to pay an annual membership fee and a weekly subscription. The rates will depend on which squad the swimmer is invited to join.
