Our mission is to enable all of our swimmers to achieve their best, to realise their full potential and enjoy every step of the way.

Our Coaching Team

We have a passionate and caring coaching team who deliver our sessions through the week as well as leading our poolside presence at galas and meets. Our team is led by Barry and Grahame.


  • Head Coach

    I have been head coach of MSC since 2008. I qualified as an ASA Level 3 club coach in 2007 and upgraded this to a UKCC Level 3 coach in 2011.

    Barry has extensive experience in developing swimmers of all abilities having been involved with our club since 2000.


  • Head of Development

    I came to the club in 2001 when my son started swimming and as a swimming parent I was quickly roped in to helping out the very limited coaching staff. Both my sons finished swimming in 2011 but I enjoyed the role of developing young talent so much that I carried on coaching.

    I am Mansfield SC through and through and have never had the desire to go elsewhere.

    I passed my Level 1 in 2003 and my level 2 in 2006 . Alongside my timekeeping, J2 and lifeguard qualifications I took part in the Notts Talented Coaches programme in 2012.

    I have been selecting teams for galas for as long as I can remember!

Dive into our history...

The club was formed in 1904 at Mansfield Central Baths on Bath Street. This is where training took place until 1991.

The first gala Mansfield Swimming club took part in was in 1907.

Mansfield Central Baths was home to Mansfield Swimming club until 1991 when Mansfield District Council built a modern leisure pool complex now known as Water Meadows, with its leisure pool, wave machine, flumes and its 25 metre competition pool and teaching pool.

In 2024 we celebrated our 120 year anniversary with a host of events and celebrations for our swimmers and their families!

Hands up if you’re interested in joining us!
