Bishop's Stortford Swimming Club

Affiliated to Swim England East Region

Welcome

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 the Swim School, through to our competitive squads and Masters.

Bishop’s Stortford Swimming Club is a club that puts its swimmers first and with some 200 swimming members, we aim to provide an inclusive experience catering for those learning to swim, those starting out on their competitive swimming careers and to those striving to compete at Counties, Regionals and Nationals.

So if you’re looking for a new club, swimming lessons, a competitive club or simply coming back to swimming after a break, take a moment to look through our site and see what we can offer you.

Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) guidance

We have been asked to circulate the following communication from Swim England:

The welfare of all our athletes, coaches, workforce and volunteers is of paramount importance.

This communication is designed to inform, rather than alarm, and contains relevant links to the most up-to-date guidance from the Government and Public Health England regarding novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

  • The Government has issued advice around travel to and from certain areas as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) situation develops. Please read the latest advice here. This is updated regularly.
  • We’d like to take this opportunity to remind all clubs running events, training sessions or trips abroad that they must inform participants, coaches, volunteers and spectators of the hygiene precautions to help reduce the spread of infection. For the latest infection control advice, please click here.
  • It is our expectation that Swim England members will comply with the latest Government and NHS guidance. This can be found on the Public Health England website. If you feel unwell, please call NHS 111 for advice.
  • Swim England will be continuing to plan for our events as normal, but we will be following Government guidance and assessing risk as appropriate. We will be issuing specific guidance regarding forthcoming Swim England events as necessary to those due to attend. 
  • We would advise clubs to also carry out appropriate risk assessments and comply with all Government advice when planning any future activities. 

Many thanks for your cooperation.
