Exmouth Swimming and Lifesaving Society was founded in 1893. Lessons and Water polo were regularly taught in Exmouth Docks Seasonally before the Club moved to the salt water pool on Exmouth sea front. The Club moved to its current base at Exmouth Sports and Leisure Centre’s pool, when it was publicly funded in 1985. The Club currently use the pool to teach children to swim, and to train the competitive, masters, and open water squads several nights a week.

The Master’s squad is a relatively new section of the Club. It has been running for just over three and a half years and has developed with Masters Swimming’s popularity to become one of the strongest Masters Clubs in the Country; our male team are currently 10th in the ASA’s Decathlon competition out of a total of 328 teams from around the UK.

The Club also has a very strong Open water squad. The Club organises two annual Open Water swims a year. The Fairway Buoy swim is a 4.75 mile swim open to competitors around the country. The Starcross swim is open only to club members. This year we had four  swimmers in the top 10 finishers of the Fairway Buoy swim.
