Brighton & Hove Swimming - About the Club

Out To Swim Brighton & Hove (OTSBH) is an LGBTQ+ and allies Masters Swimming Club based in Brighton & Hove. We are a group of sociable LGBTQ+ swimmers who swim for fun, fitness or competition. We provide a friendly environment for those who prefer the social aspect. The group was established in 2006 and is the relative of London and Bristol’s Out To Swim. The Brighton Club is now one of the largest LGBTQ+ sports groups in Brighton & Hove and we are part of Sussex ASA.

We all share an enthusiasm to improve with like-minded people and be part of an LGBTQ+ inclusive club. Women and men swim inclusive and non-gender-specific, we have all ages from 20s to 70s. Out to Swim Brighton & Hove is open to all with a positive attitude. The club is an adult club and those under 18 are not able to participate.

We have put together an FAQ page here to help with further questions.
