BSSC is a successful, friendly club offering swim lessons and competitive swim training

Bishop’s Stortford Swimming Club is one of the oldest competitive swimming clubs in Hertfordshire. Whilst we strive to be competitive we realise our responsibilities to encourage sport for all and this is reflected in a club structure which ranges from our Learn to Swim School, through to our competitive squads and Masters (over 18s). Bishop’s Stortford Swimming Club is a club that puts its swimmers first and with over 300 swimming learners and members, we aim to provide an inclusive experience catering for those learning to swim, those starting out on their competitive swimming careers and those striving to compete at Counties, Regionals and Nationals, or even Internationally. So if you’re looking for swimming lessons or a new competitive club, take a moment to look through our pages or head off to our website and see what we can offer you.

🏊‍♀️ Club Record Catch-Up 🏊‍♂️

As we settle into the new season, we’re taking a moment to catch up on a few achievements from the end of last season that we didn’t get chance to share at the time.

Back in July and August, four of our swimmers added their names to the club record books with some fantastic swims.

👏 Congratulations to Taras, Edie, Rose and Dylan.

A lovely way to finish the long course season - and we’re looking forward to seeing plenty more record-breaking swims as we head into the short course season!

It was a battle of galactic proportions as two incredible swim clubs went head-to-head in the season-opening DUEL IN THE POOL.

However, only one team could take home the very special -manufactured mega trophy.

In the end it was Bishop’s Stortford Swim Club that emerged on top 469 to 414, but the FORCE was strong in all swimmers ensuring an amazing racing spirit on the night.

A huge thank you to all the swimmers, volunteers, officials and parents for supporting this special event.

An additional thank you to Colchester Swimming & Water Polo Club for supporting the event and traveling to Bishop’s Storford this evening.

Looking forward to doing it all again next year, Colchester Swimming & Water Polo Club. Your galaxy or ours?
