Swimming

The club supports a number of swimming activities, however the competitive
age group swimmers far out way any of the other activities.

Competitive Swimming

The Dover Lifeguard Club has a strong competitive team of swimmers, ranging form the Junior 10 years and under, through to our few 16 year olds and above. The squads train very hard every day of the week except Sundays and have sessions in the early morning for over an hour and most evenings.  The sessions are run by our Coaches, Teachers and some Parent, all lead by the DLGC Head Coach.

Our squad training sessions run each morning and afternoon at the Dover Sports Complex and have enabled many of our swimmers to achieve new PB's at competitions attended.  Some of these swimmers have gone on to gain Kent,  South East Region and National qualifying times.  The commitment of our coaches, teachers and helpers to the swimmers and club is much appreciated by all those involved.

Work with the younger up and coming swimmers to develop their strokes for competition, is also an area which the coaches and teacher concentrate time.  A number of these swimmers go on to achieve entry times for the East Invicta competition each year.

The club does have a small band of committed people that help with the coaching.  These people range from Parents of the swimmers to others that have themselves been swimmers in the past.  Although there are too many people to name individually here, the club and swimmers do appreciate everyone's commitment to the sport.
