Following on from our recent Safeguarding post. We have updated the website with an opt out of photography and filming by the club.

Consent is already a part of our membership form but swimmers can be opted out at any time by going to the link below. You can also view and download the Swim England policy here.

Swim England Photography & Filming Policy

ORCA Swimming Club takes a robust approach to safeguarding and along with Swim England has a zero-tolerance policy on the use of mobile phones and other digital devices in changing rooms during Swim England regulated activity.

All our training sessions are ‘regulated activity’ within the definition of Wavepower.

Should the need arise our Club Welfare Officer can be contacted at welfare@orcaswimming.club in the strictest confidence.

Please ensure swimmers are aware of this rule. We want ALL of our swimmers to have a positive experience at the pool.

January 2025

Something new to celebrate our first full month of training in the new year !

Our swimmer’s of the month for #jan2025 are:

📌 Olive B
📌 Freddie F

Dave & Vicky have recognised their recent achievements and made the following comments;

📯Both had a great comp last weekend at Sheffield in the Rotherham open meet. Their attendance is excellent, as is their attitude in training and they’ve both shown massive progress.

It was their first Long Course comp at Sheffield and both won medals, with Freddie finishing 3rd over overall in the 50m Breaststroke and Olive 4th overall in the 200m Breaststroke.

Well done both 👏trophies will be handed out at training on Thursday !
