Milngavie and Bearsden Swimming Club is a competitive swimming club founded in 1969. The aim of the club is to provide a quality teaching program for young swimmers with abilities that range
from complete beginner to aspiring internationalist.
Information about joining the club and the available teaching schemes can be found here .
The home pool for the club is at the Allander Sports Centre in Milngavie, though we also use swimming pools at Abercorn School, Cleveden Academy, Douglas Academy, Drumchapel and Knightswood Pool. The range of swimming pools available enables us
to provide good teaching environments for all abilities.

Among our successes is five-time Olympian Alison Sheppard MBE, who trained with the club for 24 years.
2002 proved to be the finest of her career so far, with the highlight a gold for 50m Freestyle at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester.
At the same event, she won a bronze in the 50m butterfly. She also claimed gold at the European Championships in Berlin and silver at the World Championships in Moscow. In January 2003 she broke the Commonwealth and British 50m freestyle short-course record yet again with a time of 24.06 seconds.
