What is artistic swimming?

Swimming, dance & gymnastics — beautifully combined

Artistic swimming develops strength, coordination, breath control, musicality and teamwork. Swimmers train on land as well as in the water, with land sessions building the core muscles, stretching and fitness that maximise performance in the pool.

It’s a fun and exciting way to learn new skills, develop teamwork, keep fit and make friends. The club also enters regional and national competitions for those who want to compete — and all abilities are welcome to come along for a free trial.

Why KASC

Hello and welcome!

Thank you for considering KASC. No previous experience is necessary — we just ask that you can swim one length of the main pool, as an indicator that you’re a strong enough swimmer to start.

We’d love to welcome you to a couple of taster sessions. In time a nose clip and swimming hat will be useful, but don’t worry about those for trying out — feel free to wear goggles if you prefer.

Fees (Sept 2025 – Aug 2026): £55 Swim England & club membership, plus £40 per month training fee. Membership covers Swim England registration, insurance and pool hire.

The club has become so important to me, I have progressed from swimmer to coach. I love attending the competitions and the feeling of being part of a great club and of course winning medals!

Land training really helps, they get lots of individua attention

There is a real feeling of family. Everyone is warm and welcoming and it is a very inclusive club. My swimmer loves it, it has increased their confidence in all waters. She no longer has any fear of being upside down in the water

My kids love it. They look forward to it every week and it has allowed them to make friends outside of school
