Show Your Super Powers ⚡ After the buzz of last Sunday’s 800 freestyle — with an incredible 86 swimmers taking on one of the toughest events in the pool — we’re ready to launch into the first full block of this year’s Club Championships. This Sunday we kick off with a one-day meet, before the main full weekend on 12/13 October.

At every Bluefins meet, our swimmers dive in ready to give it their all. But behind the racing, there’s a team making sure every start, turn, and finish really counts. That team is our officials. Here’s the truth: without officials, there are no licensed swims, no personal bests on rankings, no records. The even better truth? Any parent can step up and do it.

The 1500m freestyle may be the ultimate test of endurance in swimming, but the 800m sits just behind it — and Bluefins are once again raising the bar. With 83 swimmers entered across all age groups, the 800 at this Sunday’s Club Champs opener promises a showcase of grit, determination, and team spirit.

Whether you’re a child progressing from swimming lessons, a teenager ready to step into competitive training, or an adult keen to swim with a supportive Masters community, there’s a place for you at Bluefins.

If you’re asking yourself “How do I join a swimming club near me?” — you’re in the right place. Swimming clubs are the beating heart of Britain’s aquatic community. They bring together children, teenagers, and adults in structured pathways that combine fitness, technique, competition, and fun. Whether you want to join a swimming club for fitness, explore competitive swimming, or try Masters swimming for adults, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.
