CLUB HISTORY
Newburn Swimming Club can trace back its origins back to the Arthur’s Hill Club at the end of the 19th Century. Since the building of Denton Park Pool (now known as Outer West Pool) in 1970, Newburn has enjoyed many successes in both local and national competitions and has now grown into a highly competitive club with links to Ponteland, Morpeth and Tynedale Swimming Clubs.
General Information
Newburn Amateur Swimming Club (NASC) is based at Outer West Swimming Pool in Newcastle upon Tyne. Within our squads we have had National Age/Youth winners and finalists, and we currently compete at County, District and National levels, including various open and graded meets through-out the year.
The club is primarily a competitive swimming club and currently has 150 members of all ages and abilities. The club also recognises swimming as part of a heathly lifestyle and can offer opportunities for non competitive swimmers to have coached sessions.
Newburn ASC employs part time coaches to provide structured teaching and coaching facilities for a variety of abilities and ages. The club is administered by a committee of volunteer parents, and is supported by a number of volunteers who help to provide invaluable support in organising galas, trips, fundraising and social events.
The club operates on a framework of a recognised constitution, the requirements of which state that an elected committee manages the finances and club activites. The club also obtained Swim 21 status in February 2009 which is the ASA's "quality mark" for clubs.
You can get more information on the activities of the committee including a list of our current Management Committee on the contact us page.
