Club History & Background Birmingham
Synchronised Swimming Club was originally formed in 1984 and over the years we
have had a number of successes with members becoming Great Britain team members
and Midland District champions. Our Head Coach, Allison Pratt, swam for Great
Britain, captaining the team and was a team member taking gold in the 1983 European
Championships. Allison has recently been appointed to the prestigious FINA ‘A’
list of synchro judges making her eligible for selection to judge at International
and Olympic level.
The City
of Birmingham Swimming Club, of which we are a section, was founded in 1983
as an umbrella Aquatic Club, with Speed Swimming, Synchro, Water Polo and Disabilities
all represented. It is fully affiliated to the Amateur
Swimming Association. The ASA is the English national governing body
for swimming, diving, water polo, open water and synchronised swimming. It organises
competitions throughout England, establishes the laws of the sport and operates
comprehensive certification and education programmes for teachers, coaches and
officials as well as its renowned Learn To Swim Awards scheme. The ASA also supports
1,600 affiliated swimming clubs through a National/Regional/County structure and
we have close links with the West
Midlands Region and the Warwickshire
Region.
