Out To Swim’s swimming program is one of the largest LGBTQ+ masters teams in the world, with branches in three locations in the UK. We offer a wide range of swimming sessions to suit all abilities, all led by qualified coaches.

Our members range in experience from complete beginners to international competitors. Some of our members swim for fitness, some come for the social aspect and others train for competition. Whatever your motive, everyone is welcome to join!

Each practice features a structured workout lead by a member of our experienced coaching staff. Our coaches provide swimmers with individual attention geared toward improving their technique and avoiding injury.

Joining

New members are assessed by one of our coaches and from this allocated to a lane suitable for that swimmer’s ability. We do this so you and your fellow simmers feel comfortable training at a suitable pace and the session can flow smoothly.

To join the main programme swimmers are expected to be able to swim a minimum of 400m front crawl, 50m backstroke, 50m breaststroke and 25m fly without stopping on each stroke.

Learn to Swim

If you’re looking to get into swimming but unsure how or feel uncomfortable, Out To Swim offers a welcoming Learn to Swim program for LGBTQ+ adults and allies, lead by our experienced and friendly teachers.
