Established in 1930, Galway Swimming Club, has been teaching swimming to the people of Galway for 90 years. The GSC is a swimming club that provides a safe, fun and enjoyable environment for swimmers to develop their skills and fitness, with training delivered by fully vetted coaches qualified to the highest standards. Our aim is to promote our sport of swimming, align it with a healthy lifestyle, while delivering a high-quality experience for all members. 

The club’s unique structure allows swimmers to follow either a participation or performance pathway in the sport, helping them all perform to their best. In addition to pool time, the GSC has Strength and Conditioning classes, stretching sessions, warm-up/cool down classes and nutrition workshops.

Each term brings team building fun activities for all squads – bowling, paint-balling, water obstacle courses, rock-climbing or a trip to the movies – chosen to enhance the social interaction and well-being of all swimmers while also teaching them the value of team spirit and harmony.

Galway Swimming Club are delighted to host regular OPEN ASSESSMENTS for prospective new swimmers. The Club plans to hold one Open Assessment each Term during the season.

These trials are free for everyone to attend, though a minimum swimming standard of 25M x 2 strokes is required to participate and you must register to attend.  To joining the Club waiting list, simply email
