Armagh Swimming Club was originally formed in 1936 to cater for swimming, water polo, life saving and diving. Over the intervening years, three of these items fell by the wayside.

Presently club membership stands at 110. The Club has recently become the first sports club with the Armagh district to receive the Goldmark standard within the N. Ireland Sports Council Clubmark award system.

The overall aim of the Club is to maintain it’s position as a competitive swimming club, meeting the individual needs of all its swimmers regardless of standard, of all coaches and of all other officials and volunteers, enabling all members to reach their full potential. Furthermore, the Club plays a leading role in the community in terms of sporting and social activity.
