rmsc Romiley Marina Swimming Club. Romiley Marina Pool, HoleHouse Fold, Romiley SK6 4BB - Directions click here.

The club is based at Romiley Marina Pool, which is situated on Holehouse Fold, just off the main road, which connects Bredbury and Romiley. Click on the address above to see a map of where we are.
The mission of the committee and staff of Romiley Marina Swimming Club is to promote the teaching and practice of swimming and related arts to the highest possible level, while providing a secure caring environment where the uniqueness of each member (adult or child) is valued and updated. Within
this environment we endeavour to create a relaxed, yet orderly climate, which enables the members to take pleasure from their swimming and pride in their performances, in the full knowledge that talents of all kinds will be recognised and nurtured.
Romiley Marina Swimming Club is an integral part of the community and as such, strong links exist between schools, home and other swimming clubs. Parents are encouraged to take an active part in the development and growth of their child during his/her stay with Romiley. We regard parental
cooperation and involvement as essential at all stages of the child’s development.  

The club consists of two sections:
