Our Aims and Philosophy

The aim of Nottingham Leander Swimming Club is to promote and take part in competitive swimming. All Club teaching/coaching processes are devised with this aim in mind and all swimmers are taught the correct techniques to achieve maximum potential. In due course, it is expected that members achieving the necessary standards will swim for the Club teams in appropriate events.

Although the club is ambitious, it is our aim to develop swimmers without excessive pressure, in a supportive, friendly, injury-free and non-aggressive environment. It is relatively easy to achieve success, particularly at young (9-13) ages by putting great pressure on swimmers and working them extremely hard, but this approach generally rebounds in later years and is not the Leander way.

As young swimmers improve, the club aims to bring them to a standard where they will be able to obtain entrance to the Nova Centurion (the County Squad), and from there progress to Inter-County, District and International standing. Those who do not succeed in obtaining the limited number of “County Squad” places are, however, catered for in a training regime which continues into adulthood, and into the Club’s “Masters” section and Water Polo teams – truly offering “lifetime” training.

Joining the Club

Nottingham Leander SC is a growing, competitive and successful club, so the pressure on training sessions is high. If you wish to join the club as a swimmer (other than as a Master) you will need to attend a trial before joining - see below.

Water Polo and Masters (over 25yrs) swimmers can apply for immediate membership without the need for a trial. Please email  for information.

 Trials

A swimming trial is held for all potential club swimmers with the Chief Coach. This trial is by arrangement with the club Administrator and normally takes place in the first week of a month.
Following the trial, successful applicants will be notified which training sessions are currently available, and sent membership details.

To arrange a trial, or for further information please contact us by email  .
