About Reading Royals

Founded in 1969, Reading Royals Artistic Swimming Club has grown from a small local team into one of the UK’s leading artistic swimming clubs. For more than five decades, we’ve inspired swimmers of all ages to discover the perfect balance of strength, grace, and teamwork — building confidence, discipline, and lifelong friendships both in and out of the pool.

​

At Reading Royals, we believe every swimmer has the potential to shine. Our club is built on four simple values that shape everything we do: teamwork, excellence, creativity, and confidence. Together they define the Royals spirit — where young athletes support one another, push their limits, and express themselves through music and movement.

​

Our experienced coaching team combines fun, focus, and technical expertise to help swimmers progress from their first figures to national competition. Whether you’re just starting out or training at elite level, you’ll find a welcoming, ambitious community that celebrates every step forward.

​

Over the years, Reading Royals has produced national champions and Great Britain representatives, earning a proud reputation for quality and dedication. In 2023, our Technical Team secured their fourth consecutive national title at the Swim England Artistic Swimming Championships — a reflection of the talent, passion, and hard work that define our club.

​

But beyond medals and routines, the true success of Reading Royals lies in its people — swimmers, parents, coaches, and volunteers — who come together as One Team. We share a love for the sport, a commitment to each other, and a belief that artistic swimming is more than competition: it’s about confidence, creativity, and joy.

Whether you’re looking for fun, fitness, or the thrill of performance, Reading Royals welcomes you to join our story — and dive into something extraordinary.
