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.
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.
