Corby Amateur Swimming Club

Corby Amateur Swimming Club was formed in 1965 following an inaugural meeting at the old Uppingham Corby Boys Club, a Group of interested people attended and agreed to the formation of a committee to organise and run the Club.

With no pool facility in the Town the Club was forced to seek swim time in the neighbouring Towns of Kettering and Market Harborough. Market Harborough were very accommodating and welcomed the new Club allowing it two sessions a week, unfortunately there was no time available at the Kettering pool. The swimmers travelled to Market Harborough via cars and hired buses.
 
In 1967 Corby, at long last, got the pool it desired and needed, the Club were accommodated within the scheduling of the pool sessions and were assured some training time at a home venue. The pool has undergone a number of facelifts, the largest was in 1980. The pool was altered from the then Olympic standard length of 33 and a third yards to the short course 25m standard, and provided a teaching pool and a splash pool with a water chute.

In 2009, the Club moved homes again to the new state-of-the-art Corby East Midlands International Pool facility with the ability to train at both 25m and 50m. With full electronic timing equipment, the Club is able to host both long and short course competitions.
 
The Club currently has over 100 swimming members and is always looking for recruits. It trains four weekday evenings at Corby and a two hour Sunday morning session at Oundle.
 
We have County champions, Midland and National qualifiers and a great friendly atmosphere.
