Brighton Swimming Club
England’s Oldest Swimming Club
Brighton Swimming Club is proud to be the country’s oldest continuously running swimming club. Founded in 1860, the sea swimming section has been in daily operation save only for the Second World War, when the beaches were off limits, guarded, as they were, by defences.
We have 5 sections incorporating Sea Swimming, Water polo, Artistic Swimming, Masters and Squad/Juniors. We host an array of swim races in the sea across the summer for our club members and run the historical Pier to Pier race for all.
