Bere Regis Swimming Club

The Bere Regis Swimming Club (otherwise known as the "Splashers"), was formed in 1976 with the sole purpose of teaching swimming to children in Bere Regis and the surrounding rural district. To this day, its aims and objectives remain the same, with the club providing a broad spectrum of opportunities.

However, the club’s main objective is to improve the standard of swimming in the area and to take children from complete beginners to near competitive standard in a happy and friendly environment. To this end we use the Amateur Swimming Association Awards schemes. In these structured programmes, we are also able to teach elementary diving, personal survival to our older children.

We currently have around 70 members and 8 swimming teachers. Our members ages range from 3 up to 15, and abilities from complete beginner to competitive standard. The club currently has 1 Advanced STA/ASA Teacher, 1 ASA Level 2 Teacher, 4 ASA Level1 Teachers, 2 STA Beginner Teachers and 1 Club Helper. It is interesting that two of our club teachers come from the ranks of our swimmers.
