Welcome
St. Paul’s Barnes Swimming Club was established in 2009 as a new venture based in St Paul's School. As a community club it is open to all competitive swimmers – boys and girls, seniors and masters. It’s part of a long standing tradition of the prestigious independent boys school to share its facilities with the local community.
“We want to open our outstanding facilities to enable all swimmers – not just St. Paul’s boys – to reach new standards of excellence” said Martin Stephen - High Master at St Paul’s School.
SPBSC aims to get the best out of each and every swimmer – whether it’s an Olympic medal, or a personal best performance at local, regional or national level. The club has developed a highly specialised programme to offer swimmers the best possible environment for training. The club offers top quality swimming training sessions every day of the week for swimmers of all ages. Unlike most swimming clubs, St Paul’s Barnes will not be demanding pre-dawn or late night attendance: training times will be social – during the early evening – and sociable, with plenty of opportunities for socialising.

The club is particularly keen to encourage teenagers to stay in the sport and aims to foster a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. “We want swimmers to stay in the sport through school, into college and beyond” said Tony Pearce, whose knowledge and experience has attracted a team of top coaches from the local area. Affiliated to the Amateur Swimming Association, the club will offer its swimmers the chance to compete in county, regional and national events, as well as swimming leagues and open galas.
