Our Story
Saddleworth Amateur Swimming Club (SASC) is based at Uppermill
Swimming Pool is at the heart of our community. The club was
established more than 30 years ago with the aim of developing local
swimmers, getting more swimmers in the water, building and engendering
a life-long love of the sport.
The club is part of the elite athlete pathway where talented swimmers
are identified and encouraged to develop their swimming as far as
possible including; regional, national & international competition
standards. Over the years we have had a number of Olympic and
Commonwealth games athletes as members of the club; Jess Lloyd, who
swam in the 2012 London Olympics and Ben Procter who swam in the 2012
London Paralympics being just two recent examples.
The club competes in local gala leagues and runs a number of internal
competitions. Additionally we encourage our members to take part in
open galas, triathlons & other swimming events.
The club was recently awarded the Swim21 national standard by Swim
Mark demonstrating our commitment to being an effective, ethical &
sustainable club.
Our People

SASC is run by an able team of dedicated volunteers, whilst training

Safeguarding
To help clubs with child welfare Swim England produce 'Wavepower'
child safeguarding policies and procedures.
Wavepower must be adopted by all Swim England affiliated clubs and
organisations. The latest version and can be viewed below.
The aim of Wavepower is to safeguard all children in line with current
legislation, regulations and guidance and is for use within any Swim
England affiliated organisation where children are present.
Wavepower consistently emphasises that the responsibility for child
safeguarding in our sport belongs with all those involved in our
sports and is not the sole responsibility of any one person at local,
county or national level.
When updates or changes take place either in Swim England or through
statute or governmental guidance these will be published on the
website.
You can download the fully interactive Wavepower. It is in PDF format. Alternatively, you can
read it online. If it doesn’t load after a few seconds please refresh the page.
