OUR VISION
To create well-rounded athletes who achieve their best in a stimulating, competitive & nurturing environment.
BRINGING OUR VISION TO LIFE
Aspiration
We aspire to be one of the best clubs in the UK. We work to provide an inclusive, family-friendly, family-oriented club where all swimmers grow & develop. We endeavour to build a workforce that will support us in realising our vision.
Brilliance
We aim for our swimmers to learn, be ambitious, work hard, have fun, & be the very best that they can be. We will always ensure the national kitemarks (e.g. Swim mark), we are recognised as a safe club & have a skilled & qualified workforce. We will carve out pathways to promote lifelong participation in swimming & aquatics.
Character
We provide an environment that welcomes diversity & values all individuals. We want to build our swimmers' character with strength & resilience & are willing to learn in order to help them succeed.
Rickmansworth Swimming Club was established in September 2023. We are a new club but we continue to grow & succeed.
