To join the SPSC you don't have to be a champion swimmer - most of our members just enjoy the gentle exercise. But some have taken part in the Great East Swim at Alton Water and some train for Triathlon competitions.
All adult swimmers are welcome.
History
The Club was formed by three local ladies in 2004. The SPSC had its first public meeting in April that year attended by 54 people. A committee was elected to run the new club and a constitution was written.
Swimming started in June 2004 in the 25 metre Ganzoni heated indoor swimming pool at Ipswich Girls' High School, Woolverstone. The pool was opened in 2002.
There are now approximately 200 members.
There is an AGM which is very well attended by members and is a relaxed social evening held locally.
