Welcome to Deepings swimming club

Deepings Swimming Club was founded in 1976 and has grown into one of Lincolnshire’s most respected community sports organisations. From its earliest days, the club has provided opportunities for swimmers of all ages and abilities, from those taking their first strokes to athletes competing at county, regional, and national level. Over the decades, the club has celebrated countless successes in the pool, but its proudest achievement has always been its role as a welcoming, family-friendly club at the heart of the community. Generations of families have been part of Deepings, with parents, children, and even grandparents sharing in the journey—whether as swimmers, volunteers, coaches, or supporters. 

When the closure of Deepings Leisure Centre in 2020 threatened its future, the club showed remarkable resilience. Training was relocated to neighbouring pools, and the Deepings “family” pulled together, ensuring that the club not only survived but continued to thrive. That spirit of togetherness remains one of our greatest strengths. 

 Today, Deepings Swimming Club is a registered charity, committed to making swimming accessible, inclusive, and sustainable for generations to come. Guided by volunteers and supported by the community, we continue to inspire a love of swimming, nurture talent, and promote health and wellbeing both in and out of the water. Above all, we remain a friendly, supportive club where every swimmer—whatever their age, background, or ambition—can feel at home.

Volunteers – The Heart of Deepings Swimming Club

Deepings Swimming Club could not operate, let alone compete, without the dedication of our volunteers. From supporting the day to day running of the club to helping at galas, parent and family involvement is vital to our success and to the future of amateur swimming. 

We warmly invite all parents to volunteer during their children’s membership. With a wide variety of roles available—each requiring different skills and levels of commitment—there’s something to suit everyone. The more volunteers we have, the stronger our community becomes and the lighter the load on those already giving their time. 

Our volunteers are the backbone of Deepings Swimming Club. Their contribution is invaluable, ensuring our swimmers thrive, our events run smoothly, and our aquatic sports continue to grow. Volunteering is also hugely rewarding: it’s a chance to develop yourself and others, meet new people, give back to your community, and even take part in some truly memorable events. 

If you’d like to join the team, step forward and get involved—you’ll be making a real difference
