About the Club
Lichfield Swimming Club is a long-standing, friendly, competitive club based in Lichfield, with swimmers of abilities ranging from stroke improvement to national qualifiers. Our coaching team run sessions over 6 days a week.
Lichfield is a small but competitive club where every member is nurtured and valued. We aim to develop each individual swimmer to their optimum, to equip them with all the skills to achieve this, and in doing so to build up a strong competitive team with strength in depth. We are a Swimmark accredited club.
We place a large emphasis on technique and executing skills quickly over short distances with the younger swimmers, progressing through the distances as skills are solidified and swimmers move through groups. It is important to us that swimmers enjoy both swimming and other sports and so we work hard in the pool time that we do have and then have time off so our members can do other things.
The club aims to get every swimmer into competition at an appropriate standard. The club competes in the Staffs County League, Nuneaton and District Junior League, Mercian Summer League and the National Arena League, as well as the Staffordshire County Championships, West Midlands Region Regional Championships and has sent swimmers to both Swim England and British Summer Nationals in recent years. We also compete in many open meets in the local area and region throughout the season.
The club’s main pool is at Friary Grange Leisure Centre. We normally train in the evenings at pools in Lichfield, Walsall and Tamworth and, when the opportunity is available, Loughborough 50m pool.
