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

Our mission
The aim of Orion swimming club is to provide the young people of South and West Birmingham with an ASA registered competitive swimming club, and promote the sport of swimming in a first-class environment. Team members are given the opportunity to pursue their goals in the sport of swimming to a level to which they aspire, and are capable of achieving. Swimmers are supported and valued from novice to National level, in realizing their potential.

Our vision
Beyond mastering stroke and race skills and achieving physical fitness, our swimmers will gain confidence, sportsmanship, discipline and understanding of link between hard work and success. They will also learn the value of teamwork, and how to cope with success and failure. Our aim is to make swimming an enjoyable and important part of life for both swimmers and their families.
