Are you a serious swimmer, searching for a competitive training environment to help you prepare for your next challenge? Our Swimming Academy is a fantastic opportunity for keen swimmers, offering students the chance to compete in a range of galas throughout the year.
Here, you can expect to further develop your stroke technique and race-specific skills through individualised programming, as well as benefiting from access to strength and conditioning sessions, physiotherapy, and bespoke 1 on 1 support.
Our specialist training sessions are held at The Neptune Leisure Centre and run by coaches at Middlesbrough Amateur Swimming Club (MASC) who have trained swimmers such as Olympian Jack Hatfield and Commonwealth Gold Medalist 2018 Aimee Willmott.
With a wealth of experience and passion, our coaches are highly skilled and able to rain swimmers in all areas of the sport!
