Harpenden Swimming Club is a thriving Swim England-affiliated club in Hertfordshire, welcoming swimmers from stroke development through to national level.
Our expert coaching team runs sessions six days a week focusing on strong technique, skill progression, and building confident, resilient athletes. Every swimmer matters here – whether aiming for national finals or simply a love of the sport.
We compete in Hertfordshire Leagues, National Arena League, County and Regional Championships, and regularly qualify swimmers for Swim England and British Summer Nationals.
Alongside league and championship competition, we host internal galas and open meets to give every swimmer the chance to shine.
Behind the lanes, our dedicated volunteers and officials ensure the club runs smoothly and continues to grow as a supportive, high-performing community.
We are dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all. Our Club Welfare Officer is the first point of contact for any safeguarding or welfare concerns and helps promote Swim England’s Wavepower policy, ensuring everyone understands their shared responsibility to protect and care for our swimmers.
