Paignton Swimming Club is a strong club with over 260 members.  This year’s Devon Championships has been a huge success with many swimmers reaching the finals and achieving regional qualifying times. Last year we had ten swimmers attend the Regionals with as many if not more achieving regional times this year.  In the past, we have had a number of swimmers at Summer Nationals and representing Devon at the Inter Counties.  We would be looking to our new Head Coach to help build on this success.
