Welcome to Saffron Seals - SWASC
Welcome to our small and friendly swimming club run by voluntary committee members, all parents of past and present members of Saffron Seals Swimming Club.

We are a competitive club, we compete in the Essex Mini League, which operates much the same as a football league. We also participate in small but competitive galas against other clubs in the local area.

We currently train at the Lord Butler Fitness & Leisure Centre on Tuesday and Friday evenings and at Friends’ School on Monday afternoons and Wednesday evenings.

Friends’ School session are during term time, while the LBFLC session continue during the school holidays. Friends’ School swimmers train at LBFLC during the summer school holidays.


History of Club
Saffron Walden Amateur Swimming Club (SWASC) started out in November 1911, as a Water Polo Club. The club’s base was the Town Baths in Hill Street, where they stayed until the Baths closed in the late 1970’s.

Over the years we have produced some very good swimmers- not least one lady backstroke swimmer who went to the Olympic Games in 1952. Also, many notable names in Saffron Walden have been Saffron Seals Swimming Club members.
