About the Club

More than just swimming.

More than just swimming

Established in 2012, Formby Swimming Club has been helping young swimmers develop not only their technique and performance, but also confidence, resilience, teamwork and friendships that last a lifetime.

Whether you’re new to competitive swimming or aiming to compete at a higher level, we provide expert coaching in a supportive and welcoming environment. We typically welcome swimmers aged 8+ who have achieved Swim England Stage 7, ensuring they have the core skills needed to thrive within our programme.
