About the Club
Armadale Kelmscott Swimming Club is a friendly, family orientated swimming club based at Armadale Aquatic Centre, Champion Drive, Armadale. We are a friendly social and competitive swimming club run by dedicated volunteers. To any eligible swimmer we offer coaching and instruction with fully accredited coaches, for both fitness and competition swimmers.

Our swimmers have competed at State Level (we have a State Relay team) and many swimmers are repeat School Champions. Any child, irrespective of age who can swim 25 metres, is ready to join our training squads. Stroke correction is our specialty. We pride ourselves on welcoming children with a wide range of swimming ability and aspirations and offer three different levels of coaching. Once a child, regardless of age is able to swim 25metres of any stroke they are ready to join our Junior squad. As they improve, we offer Intermediate and Senior Squads.

We also cater for long distance events for those swimmers who are interested. All Coaching Costs are included in the Club Membership Fees. Swimmers are encouraged to participate in outside swimming events and supported by coaches in their preparation and at the events.

We hold a Club Night every Friday from 6.00pm, this is where the children race in their age group. The emphasis is on Club Night is improvement on Personal Best Times
