Welcome to Wellington (Telford) Swimming Club
We are a competitive swimming club based at Wellington Leisure Centre in Telford, Shropshire. The Club takes great pride not only in the standard of teaching and coaching it provides but also on the friendly and approachable atmosphere created by its members and volunteers.
The Club welcomes swimmers from the age of five who are able to swim 25 meters. These youngsters progress through our teaching classes before being encouraged to compete at our own Club Championships and other junior competitions. Our dedicated and experienced teaching and coaching staff routinely produce swimmers who compete at County, District and National Level. The Club currently takes part in the Nuneaton Diddy and Diva League as well as several other inter-club and open meet galas. At the other end of the scale, the Club also maintains a strong Masters element that regularly train and compete alongside our younger swimmers.
Most of the Club’s sessions take place at Wellington Leisure Centre and together with our two evening’s sessions at Wrekin College, our swimmers are now able to train five days a week.
The Club is affiliated to the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA), Midland District.

Due to some technical difficulties, we have had to alter the original time table for the Swim Clinic. A Swim Clinic for more advanced swimmers will be arranged later in the year, hopefully.
The Swim Clinic is shared with Newport at Wellington Swimming Pool on that day - due to limited places, the Head Coach of each club will contact selected swimmers by 19th June.
