Welcome to the BASC website.
Burton Amateur Swimming Club was founded in 1878, and apart from a
few years break in the 1960's has been in continuous existence for over
100 years. Its aim is, and always has been, the pursuit of excellence
among swimmers. To this end, swimmers are given excellent coaching by an
enthusiastic team under the guidance of the Club Coach, Mrs Karen Brain,
who has a vast experience of swimming teaching and coaching at all
levels. All Burton coaches, undertake coaching for the love of the
sport and is carried out in a professional manner.
Coaching takes place at the
Meadowside Leisure Centre and
Repton School, where facilities are second to none in the area, and
includes the use of audio-visual equipment purchased by the club.
Swimmers are given every encouragement to swim competitively and
regular, friendly galas are held throughout the year to give young
swimmers experience prior to competing in the Leicestershire and
Staffordshire Leagues, as well as competing in the Staffordshire Age
Group Championships.
We also welcome requests from other local clubs and try to
accommodate where time and space is available. Currently Triathletes
from Meynell Valley
Hunters Triathon Club join us.
Social events are also held throughout the year. All swimmers are
welcome especially, 7, 8 and 9 year olds. Training
nights and times vary depending on ability.
If you would like to improve your swimming, be competitive, and join
a lively, friendly and successful club please
