We strive to inspire and empower our members to achieve their full potential, both in and out of the water, through dedication, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Our goal is to build a strong community where every swimmer is encouraged, valued, and given the opportunity to excel at every level, from learning to swim to competitive success.
Our vision is to be a leading swimming club that nurtures athletes from the grassroots to elite levels, contributing to the development of confident, disciplined, and skilled swimmers. We aim to create an inclusive and inspiring environment where every individual, regardless of age or ability, feels motivated to pursue their personal best. By promoting physical health, mental well-being, and a sense of belonging, we aspire to cultivate future champions and lifelong swimmers who take pride in their achievements and contribute to a thriving swimming community.
The Borough of Harrow Swimming Club (BHSC) provides children with the opportunity to learn, develop, and excel in swimming. Established in 1976, BHSC was founded with the goal of promoting high standards in competitive swimming. As a proud member of Swim England, the national governing body for swimming in England, our club welcomes swimmers of all ages and abilities, from ages 4 to 65 and beyond.
For younger swimmers, BHSC follows Swim England’s Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) program, which focuses on building stroke proficiency and honing competitive training skills. Our club is dedicated to guiding swimmers through their journey, whether they are just starting out or looking to compete at higher levels.
We encourage all young swimmers to participate in internal galas, and for those ready, we support participation in County, Regional, and National competitions. Our structured squad system is designed to reflect swimmers’ age, ability, and weekly swimming expectations, providing flexibility with a variety of session options.
In addition to competitive swimming, we actively encourage adolescents to stay engaged by offering opportunities to learn coaching and teaching, ensuring their continued involvement in the sport.
