We are looking for New Swimmers to welcome to Northgate Swimming Club!

Free taster sessions available for you to give it a try.

Friendly and family-orientated club who promote fun, health and fitness!
We want children to love swimming!

Many people are concerned that being part of a swimming club means a huge commitment to training, at the exclusion of other sports and activities. Whilst this is true of Olympic swimmers – and some of our older members, it’s certainly not true of our younger swimmers.

We’d like to invite your child to come and join the Northgate Development Groups which run on Saturday mornings and Sunday/Monday evenings at a cost of only £16 or £22 per month (depending on their level and the number of sessions available to them)

These groups specialise in technique and stamina training in small groups. They follow the ASA awards scheme, but have fine-tuned it to make it, we feel, even more appropriate for young swimmers! All those working with your child are experienced and fully qualified for the role. As a SWIM 21 accredited club we take child protection very seriously which means that everyone who has a poolside duty to perform has been fully CRB checked.

As your child improves they will progress to doing an extra session on a Thursday evening, in order to ease them on into our Junior Squad. Here the children still have fun, but also learn about teamwork, competitive swimming and start to enter into some swimming competitions.

When they are not swimming, our members have a great social life together – cinema trips, picnics, pool BBQs, Charity fundraising, Bridgnorth Walk, fun ‘diddy’ galas – with all ages and families encouraged to take part. It’s really a very friendly club where all ages mix well and youngsters grow up in a healthy and safe environment, often with lifelong friendships made as a result of being Northgate members.

We look forward to welcoming you and getting to know you and your child.

All that we ask is that your child arrives promptly, with goggles and swimming hat, certainly for girls with longer hair, and above all, listens to their coach and enjoys themselves!

Northgate Swimming Club Trials

The purpose of the trials are to check that each swimmer meets our minimum requirements and to ensure they are placed with the squad that will best suit their current and future swimming development needs.

Our minimum standards are:

• Swimmers must be at least 5 years old.
• All swimmers must be capable of swimming 1 length on the front and 1 length on the back, and be able to demonstrate this at the trial.

Trials will take place at Bridgnorth Sports & Leisure Centre, Northgate, Bridgnorth, Shropshire, WV16 4ER, and will be held on the first Saturday of each month.
