About our cause
Bishop’s Stortford Swimming Club (BSSC) is a not for profit organisation run by coaches, teachers and a team of volunteers, that provides swimming lessons and competitive coaching for the surrounding community. We teach children from 3 years upwards the fundamental life skill of swimming through the Swim England Learn to Swim Framework. We nurture the enjoyment and love for swimming and the water that those early lessons instil in our >160 competitive club members (age 8 to 60+), where we support grassroots through to National and International level achievements and also encourage a healthy and active lifestyle through childhood and into adult life.
During 2020 and 2021, our members had many months out of the water during multiple lockdowns and the logistics of safely returning to the pool were complicated.
Our Learn to Swim School is run at the Bishop's Stortford College School pool on Friday and Sunday afternoons. After closing in March 2020, it reopened at the College in Sept 2020 only to close Oct 2020 and only returned in April 2021 with heavily reduced capacity due to Covid safety restrictions. We felt it important to re-open what Learn to Swim stages we could as soon as possible, even though it did not provide us any additional funds.
Our competitive squads finally returned to the water in April 2021, and you'll see many happy swimmers training morning and evening. We've just completed our first full uninterrupted season since 2018/19 and our swimmers have worked so hard and had some amazing achievements.
Although restrictions have lifted, we still need your help. Our first goal was to remain financially secure through the additional challenge that Covid gave us in 2020/21. We strive to keep our club membership costs down through income from Learn to Swim and additional annual funding sources such as Open Meets. March 2020 when Learn to Swim stopped and Open Meets were cancelled with no date for restart, our finances took a hit, but fundraising opportunities like the East Herts Lottery helped us plug the gap and we thank all our supporters for helping us through that time.
We are now finally able to move onto goal two, where we want to continue growing as a club, not just in terms of increasing our membership, but in the opportunities we can offer our existing members and local community. We are really excited for what the future holds.
