Club Overview

Mission & Who We Serve

Slough Dolphin Swimming Club exists to develop confident, capable, and resilient swimmers of all ages. Our aim is to promote lifelong participation in swimming, water safety, and healthy living within our community.

We serve a diverse membership of approximately 100 members, reflecting the cultural range of Slough. We welcome families from all backgrounds, actively supporting those from disadvantaged circumstances through outreach and inclusion initiatives.

We provide accessible, high-quality teaching from beginners aged 4 through Learn To Swim, all the way to Competitive Performance, Swim For Fitness, and Masters (up to age 104!).

Our Ethos

At Slough Dolphin, our priority is always safety and water sense first. From there, we focus on helping every athlete achieve proficiency across all four strokes.

Beyond technique, we believe in the enjoyment of swimming and fostering lifelong participation. We are incredibly proud to be run by parents, dedicated volunteers, and qualified teachers/coaches on a not-for-profit basis.

"Be the best you can be, with regular attendance, a positive attitude, and hard work."

— The Slough Dolphin Ethos

Our History

Established in the 1960s, Slough Dolphin Swimming Club has a proud and extensive legacy in local aquatics. We have successfully developed and supported swimmers at many major events, both nationally and internationally—including the Olympics and Commonwealth Games.

Today, our club continues to attract and support dedicated swimmers from Slough and numerous surrounding areas, including Burnham, Cippenham, Farnham Common, Gerrards Cross, Iver, Iver Heath, Langley, Maidenhead, Stoke Poges, Taplow, and Windsor.

Pool Locations

We are fortunate to operate across two fantastic facilities within the Slough area, allowing us to perfectly tailor the environment to our swimmers' development stage.

Our Learn To Swim program is securely based at the Beechwood School Pool on Long Readings Lane. For our advancing athletes, our Competitive Performance squads, Swim For Fitness, and Masters programs are all based at The Centre on Farnham Road.
