Black Lion Swimming Club


We are the top club within Medway, and are constantly well ranked in Kent. Our swimmers achieve success both at County and Regional level. We have swimmers of all ages and abilities, with a full Learn-to-Swim Programme, through our squads, and into our Masters section.

We are a progressive, competitive club, who are fortunate to be able to employ a full time Head Coach, Sergio Catania, and an Assistant Coach, Steve Nickalls to oversee our squad swimmers.

Our ultimate aim is for all of our swimmers to achieve their full potential, and with the elite swimmers having access to 16 hours of training time incorporating both pool and land based training per week with a team of dedicated coaches and assistants, every aspect of a swimmer's well-being is catered for.
