Hart Swimming Club
Hart Swimming Club provides dynamic coaching to progress swimmers through the formative squads to performance swimming. Our formative squads have swimmers as young as seven and here the emphasis is on instilling proper technique for all strokes and starts and turns. Progression through the four formative squads to the four performance squads is at the coaches' discretion when swimmers are deemed ready. All training sessions are tailored in number and content to the ability of the relative squad. In the years up to 1965, the only indoor facilities for swimming were at the Command Baths, the military pool in Aldershot. In the summer, children from schools in the Fleet area went to the open-air pool at Fleet Country Club for lessons. This, however, was only for the hardy souls and, of these, most were capable of only a few strokes by the end of the summer term – not sufficient to ensure their safety in water. Leslie and Hilary Wigg realised that there was a need for a local indoor pool for serious swimming and that its running costs could be met by charging for lessons.
