Perry
Beeches Sutton Swim Squad is
a teaching and competitive
swimming club based in
Birmingham. It came about as
the result of a merger between Perry
Beeches Club and Triple S Swimming
Club in 2003. This resulted in
a large squad of swimmers enabling
us to compete and be very successful
in a variety of leagues, open meets
and friendly galas.
More recently, due to the
tragic death of Eddie Blight in May
2008, we have been joined by the
swimmers from Westminster Swimming
Club.
We
compete across the Midlands at
various pools mainly
on a Saturday evening, we swim as
a team to gain league points or to
compete for trophies at friendly
galas. We also encourage our
swimmers to take part in Open
Meets to achieve Personal Best
times for
themselves and to win medals.
As a
Club our aims are:
To
develop swimmers to their
full potential
To
provide
a
pathway
for
the
swimmers
to be part of
National, District, County
and City Squad
Exposure
to
Top
level
competitions
And
fundamentally
the
enjoyment,
fun
and
social
aspect of being part of a
swimming club

Currently we teach children
from three years of
age to swim, in a fun and friendly
environment. We are also a
competitive club. This means that if
you are chosen to swim for the
club in galas we expect you to make
every effort to attend. Obviously
we do not expect you to swim if you
are ill, away or have a broken limb
– well, not usually!!! - but
we do expect you to
attend if you are available. This
does not mean that you will always
do
individual events, it might only be
in a relay team, but this is just
as important. All swims gain us
points so without a relay team we
lose
out. Every swimmer is important
to the team.
The
club targets four leagues each year
- Worcester
Winter League, Diddys, Mercian
League and the Nationals (formerly
known
as Speedo). The club also competes
in a number of other galas
throughout the year - see the
fixture list for more information.
Swimmers
are also encouraged to compete
in Open Meets.

Want
to join us? Come along to one
of our sessions and
ask the coach for advice. Take
a free trial!
Our
Motto is:
Train
together, Win
together, Have
Fun together
The club
holds a valid ASA
insurance certificate, a
copy of which can be
seen at each of the
pools
we use - Beeches,
Handsworth and Erdington
Pools.
The
club is
run by volunteers who all give
their time to help and
organise how the
club is run. We have a
committee who meets monthly to
decide on
different issues. We are
always looking for new
recruits to join
us and help with events etc.
As you can imagine it
takes a lot of
effort and energy to keep the
club running. We produce
newsletters regularly and also
have the desk open at Beeches
every
Sunday (and in the week if
possible) so that Parents can
buy equipment
of ask for advice.
T-shirts and other kit can be
ordered on an
order form.

the committee.
If
you
feel
you
can
help us in any way please
let us know.
