About us
The SESC has been around since 1911. We provide a space for London masters swimming to compete. Professional working in London can challenge their swimming abilities by entering 5 different types of competitions held throughout the year.
The competitions are open to all city professionals of London to attend. Training is usaually swum independent of the club. However, we do meet together to train once a month in a London swimming pool. Please look at our calendar page for more details.
The setting we provide is relaxed and offers opportunity for swimmers to compete at different levels and provide a place to socialise with other like minded professionals from across the city.
We do not ask for membership fees, just registration fees for each race.
If you would like to receive details of our races and training, please sign up for our newsletters.
In the Beginning
The Stock Exchange Swimming Club (SESC) was formed in 1911. It had a break for both world wars. In the 1950's swimming pools opened up and so did the club.
It has been a part of the community for over a century with another short break during the pandemic.
