Welcome to the website of Midlothian Swimming Club. Founded over 20 years ago we have approximately 90 swimmers aged between 7-21 years old. We have 4 competitive squads split dependent upon age and ability. We also have 2 non-competitive squads for swimmers aged 11 onwards, interested in keeping fit (or cross-training with other sports such as athletics) and having the fun of a club social life but not interested in competing.
The competitive squads enter a number of competitions throughout the year, we hold our AGM and Annual Presentation Dance in January, and we have a number of other social events throughout the year. In addition, we have had an annual exchange with a German Swimming club for 23 years.
If you're interested in any aspect of the club please contact our phone message service or e-mail address. We'll get back to you ASAP. Although our usual intake for competive squads is between the ages of 7-11 we'd love to hear from anyone with an interest and we can discuss the squad options! And don't forget we have non competitive options too.
Phone 0131 208 3450 and leave a message, or e-mail info@midlothianswimmingclub.co.uk.

Lindsay caught her fingers
Who shut the dooooorrrr????
Robbie got tied up
And rolled on the floor
John experienced
Life in a cupboard
An incident with toothpaste
Meant Jack woke up covered
Thirty-three ice creams
Soon disappeared
And Jack, John and Euan
Had suspicious white beards
Pass the parcel
Was really fun
Neil and Chris fought
But Christopher won
Rosie became
Vicky’s cutest new chum
Helen found her Nintendo
Under her bum
Neil had some calpol
‘Cause he was caught out of bed
And told Kaye and Lesley
He had a sore head
Kaye’s car broke down
It wasn’t the best
But its OK ‘cause Allie’s
Phoned the RAF
Lesley fell down
There were four steps not two
Ailis and Ailsa
Fell asleep by the pool
We put on sing-star
We all sang along
Robbie sang high
And guessed the words to the song
Vicky and Lindsay
Wrote on my bum!
And the big costco cake
Was amazingly yum
Here is my poem
It doesn’t really rhyme
But it suffices to say
We had a good time!
