What we do
We teach and practice Finswimming.
Whether it's for Fitness and Fun or to compete, at home
or abroad.
If you want to compete, then we'll train you in whatever
discipline you want to learn.

Our Group
began about 8 years ago on a informal basis. I had seen
finswimming at the World Games in Laahti, Finnland, on
Eurosport, and decided that I would like to 'try it'.
The bug bit, and although I am over 55 years old I enjoy
the sport and hold 2 British age-group records for
Finswimming events.
We are under the jurisdiction of the British Finswimming
Association, which is the Parent-body for the Sport in the
UK. It is also associated with BUSA -the British
Underwater Sports Association.
Some of our Swimmers occasionally visit and take part in,
the training sessions of other Finswimming clubs.


About Me.
I have undergone CRB ("Police") checks and am cleared
for working with Children as well as Adults.
I have been a Finswimmer for about 10 years and train and
compete regularly.
