Get in the Swim

If you have been watching any of the swimming events at the Commonwealth games over the summer then you will have seen some outstanding performances by our Team Scotland swimmers. Their success at being selected to compete at the games is a testament to their talent and dedicati on to the sport. The story of each swimmer will be unique but there will be one common thread - they all started out at their local swimming club - that’s where their journey began.

Our swimmers have performed well in local swim meets and competed at nati onal level.

Slowly introducing competi ti ve swimming skills and off ering the opportunity to enter swim meets in the Shire. The UDASC is part of South Aberdeenshire Swimming, a group of four swimming clubs that work together to introduce swimmers into competi ti on through friendly local league meets.
