The club was started in 1992 by Ivor Pope, a local swimming teacher, who had a lifetime’s involvement in swimming at all levels. He felt that there was a need for a grass roots club in Hemel Hempstead that was small enough to be friendly and inclusive. Ivor and his family ran the club for nine years until his well earned retirement in January 2001.

The club name derives from the phrase Fit For Life Through Swimming.

The club logo of a family of penguins reflects our inclusivity. We aim not only to help people enjoy their swimming and achieve or maintain a level of fitness, but also, through teaching lifesaving, to give members the ability to save lives and prevent aquatic accidents.

At present we have around 50 members who train up to four times a week. 

Our coaches are Bob, Anna, Geoff, Becky and Stephen who have many years of experience of  teaching swimming and coaching as well as involvement in competitive swimming.

Why not come along and see if we are the club for you,  we offer your first 4 sessions swimming with us free of charge after that we are sure you will want to join us and obtain full club membership.
