DUNBAR AMATEUR SWIMMING CLUB

Dun­bar Ama­teur Swim­ming Club has been in exis­tence since the ear­lier part of last Century.

From the cold begin­nings in Dun­bar Out­door Pool, DASC now swim in the warmth of Dun­bar Leisure Pool. We have over 130 mem­bers and have reg­u­lar intakes for new members.

The aims of DASC are to teach, coach and pro­mote swim­ming in a friendly and relaxed atmos­phere. We occa­sion­ally com­pete on a friendly basis with local swim­ming clubs but are not affil­i­ated to the Scot­tish Ama­teur Swim­ming Asso­ci­a­tion (SASA) and do not take part in any major competitions.

We also offer fun swims, life sav­ing and water polo as light relief from training.

The club is run by an elected Com­mit­tee of member’s par­ents who are pre­pared to sup­port the club. They deal with the admin­is­tra­tion of the Club from book­ing the pool to fund-raising and other essen­tial tasks. DASC coach­ing staff and life­guards are trained to recog­nised national stan­dards and are all com­mit­ted to teach­ing swim­ming. The coach­ing staff, life­guards and com­mit­tee are all unpaid volunteers.
