Borough of Waltham Forest (Gators) Swimming Club

The Borough of Waltham Forest (Gators) Swimming Club was formed in 1986 through a joint initiative of the Borough Swimming Clubs and the local Borough Council. The amalgamation led to a period of growth and measured success with locally produced athletes that would have a significant impact on County, National and International levels.

The Club has enjoyed many years of producing quality athletes as well as competitive youngsters at all levels of competition.
The Club continues to attract children at the earliest age to undergo the basic skills of water safety, swimming techniques and further on to competitive levels of the sport.

The specific programs within the Club allow for swimmers at these levels to compete as a team and as individuals for swimming events leading up to international level.

The Club takes its name from The Local Council with an additive of a character, the Gator, to serve as a single word representing the abilities and drive of the Club.
