Introduction

Orion Swimming Club is based in South Birmingham. We offer swimming lessons from beginners upwards and competitive swimming in several swimming leagues. Our popular annual Club Championships take place each November. Most of our sessions are held at the Kings Edward's Boys School swimming pool, on the Bristol Road although we also have sessions at the King Edward's Girls School and Tiverton Road swimming baths.

Welcome to our website. Hopefully you will find all the information you need. If you want to try out swimming with Orion, and would like to know more about our free trial, please email us at freetrial@orionswimmingclub.co.uk

Pool closures
Remember to check out the pool closures page to see what's on and what's not. (updated 14/6/2009)

Look after your valuables
To reduce the risk of theft from your own vehicle please remember not to leave anything valuable, or which might be tempting, in view while you’re at the pool.

Keep off the field
Orion SC hires the swimming pool. That's all we hire. You have no right to use the playing fields or any other King Edwards School facility. If you go on the field, you are trespassing, you are causing us problems, you are a nuisance, you are causing damage. You may well be asked to leave the grounds.
