Welcome to Swansea Finswimming Club
Swansea Finswimming Club is Wales' premier finswimming club. We were started in 2001, as part of the University of Wales Swansea's swimming club. Our finswimmers have won medals at both the short-course (25 m) and long-course (50 m) national championships. We have two coaches, one of whom is the current National Coach.
We train at the National Pool of Wales, Swansea, on Monday (8:30 p.m.), Wednesday (7:00 p.m.) and Friday (7.00 p.m.) nights. If you are interested in taking part in the sport or just interested in having a look, please come to a session. If you want to take part, please be on poolside fifteen minutes before the session starts. All you need to bring is yourself, a swimming costume, goggles (not glass masks please), towel, a kick board and some normal fins (not heavy, strapped scuba fins). The club has a stock of centre-mounted snorkels and monofins.
If you have any questions email Graham Forster (the club's chairperson) at graham@caloncardio.com or Alaric at alaric.finswimming@gmail.com.
