Welcome to Barking & Dagenham Aquatics Club. Established in 2011, we help swimmers progress from developing competitive swimming at club level all the way through to competing on the global stage.

We’re a competitive swimming club, welcoming swimmers who are excelling in their learn-to-swim programme and are ready for the next step. Our development and competitive squads focus on training, competitions and building a strong social bond between members.

If you or their current instructor thinks your child is ready to progress, we invite them to trial sessions with one of our coaches, who’ll assess their stroke technique and readiness for squad training. Please use our contact us page to get in touch with us.

Why join a swimming club? Our club teaches the fundamentals of competitive swimming and harnesses the health benefits of regular physical activity. Beyond this there are many wider benefits such as learning sports etiquette, teamwork and camaraderie, self-discipline, setting goals, being motivated and building confidence – all hugely valuable life skills.

We are a Swim England affiliated club and follow the guidance for child safeguarding, the ASA Code of Ethics and Codes of Conduct. Our members have access to a secure swim software “Club Organiser” for all administration needs.
