Streatham Swimming Club is a competitive club which welcomes all young people and their families. Working with committed swimmers and their parents,
we encourage every swimmer to reach their potential, whatever that may be.
Welcome to Streatham Swimming Club
We currently train at two venues: Streatham pool on Tuesdays and Fridays and St Joseph’s College on Sundays and Wednesdays.
Trials for prospective new members are now open. We particularly need to boost our under 10s gala team and priority will be given to these swimmers applying to join. Please contact the Membership Secretary for details: info@streathamswimmingclub.org
Payments
Annual membership for 2018 is £40 per annum for the first family member, £35 for the second and £30 for third and subsequent family members.
Monthly Subscriptions are £25 for Pre-Group 1, £33 per month for Juniors (Groups 1-4), £38 per month for Seniors
We encourage parents and ex-members to come to the Sunday morning 9am session. For the bargain price of £3 you get an hour’s work out under Georgette’s tender care. You need to be able to swim 800m and do most of the strokes.

Latest News
SUMMER HOLIDAYS are here! There are no more sessions at St Joseph’s until Wednesday 5 September 2018. The last session at Streatham Leisure Centre is Tuesday 31 July 2018, first session back will be on Tuesday 4 September 2018. Have a great summer holiday, keep swimming and see you in September.
The committee is very pleased to announce that the club has just received its ASA Swim mark essential accreditation.
To quote the ASA website, this recognises the high standards of governance, sustainability and effectiveness that the club has reached (http://www.swimming.org/swimengland/swimmark-accreditation-for-clubs/)
We are particularly pleased as it is just over four years since the club returned to Streatham Ice and Leisure after a similar number of years in the wilderness following the demolition of the old pool. When the club restarted at Streatham, numbers were down and we didn’t get the same space in the new pool as we had had in the old one. Nevertheless, numbers have grown and standards improved. There is still a way to go. Training swimmers is not a quick job. Our swimmers range in age from 8-16 with gaps in some age groups. The club’s development plan aims to fill the gaps and improve competitiveness across the age range.
Here are some of the objectives in our development plan.
- Increase the lane space at Streatham pool on Tuesday evenings. This will help us to train more younger swimmers and fill the gaps we have.
- Improve gala attendance by swimmers. SSC is a competitive club. Swimmers need competition practice to improve
- Get some swimmers to county qualification standard. As the swimmers’ time with the club increases, they will start to reach county standard and inspire their swimming companions.
- Improve parent participation. SSC is run entirely by volunteers, with no paid staff. Parents are an essential resource!
The club is run entirely by volunteers – including all the teachers and organisers. Any help you can offer is welcome, please contact a member of the committee.
