Harrogate District Swimming Club (HDSC) is a voluntary association that exists to promote the enjoyment of competitive swimming. HDSC was the first Club in Yorkshire to achieve nationally recognised accreditation under the Swim England SwimMark scheme (previously ASA Swim 21).
Our long term vision is to provide a comprehensive programme covering competitive swimming, whilst also providing for those who just want to train for fitness, enjoyment or to compete in other disciplines, incorporating Masters and Disability swimming. We work closely with our local provider, Brimhams Active, to make this vision a reality.
HDSC is run by a Committee under the Laws of Swim England to which it is affiliated through the Yorkshire SA and Swim England North Eastern Region. Members have the opportunity to swim for individual honours through the Club, County and Regional Championships run by the above bodies. HDSC has a reputation for running Swim meets at the Hydro which are to a very high standard; please see the Harrogate Meets section of the web site for details.
The club cannot exist without volunteers. Anyone with an interest in seeing the club thrive is warmly invited to get involved. Whatever your time-availability, skills or interests, there will be a role which will work for you. Every task performed by a club volunteer contributes to the success and wellbeing of all our swimmers and you don’t have to be a committee member or attend a single meeting to play your part! The club will provide training and cover expenses for all roles when required.
Roles include:
- Welfare Officer – official club role with responsibility for safeguarding and welfare
- Wellbeing Volunteers – poolside support at training sessions and occasional galas
- Team Managers – swimmer support at competitions
- Technical Positions – such as Judges, Referees and Timekeepers
- Fundraising & Event Volunteers – ad hoc help with social and fundraising events
