About Us

Welcome to Ulvertson Amateur Swimming Club (UASC)

I would like to welcome you to our club. Our club has been in existence for over 100 years. The earliest date we have found for Ulverston swimming club was 1903. We have won many trophies but our main aim is to encourage those swimmers competitive or not to achieve their best. It is managed and looked after by very dedicated coaches, poolside helpers and committee members all of whom volunteer their time for the club. If any parents/guardians would be interested in helping out in any way please ask them to contact a member of the committee.

We hold a number of club gala’s each year allowing all our swimmers to take part from the youngest to the oldest. The entrance fees for these gala’s are part of your annual membership fees. All we ask is that spectators come along and cheer, (this will cost them £2 each for entry to poolside). We also hold our summer Challenge gala and the Club Championship gala throughout the year. Both of these events are followed a few weeks later by a presentation evening where the trophies won from these events and others will be presented. These are fun evenings with games for the children after the presentations, Live Music and a disco.

Another important gala within our calendar is the Ulverston Open Gala at Kendal held each year in September/October this is an ideal time for any swimmers aged 9 or over to see how a competitive gala works. You will pay an entry fee for each race you swim. We also always need helpers of any variety for this meet so if you or anyone you know would be willing to help out please see a member of the committee.

Otters swim hats, can be obtained from Rosemary Jones or Lesley Capstick.

Official Club kit, Tee Shirts, shorts, hoodies, etc are available from Identity in Barrow.

Rosemary or Lesley are normally available at the pool most evenings. If you are unable to see Rosemary or Lesley , please ask myself or any other member of the committee and we will try to help.

If you have any problems or need any further information please do not hesitate to contact me or any other member of the committee.
