About Us

Seagulls Swimming Club were formed in 1978 & New Milton Torpedoes in 1977. Both successfully operated as separate clubs until their merger on Sept 12th 2006, when the clubs came together to form "Christchurch & New Milton Seagulls" (Seagulls). Seagulls introduced Water Polo into the club in 2005 and in May 2010 incorporated synchronised swimming following the merger with Wessex Flamingoes Synchronised Swimming Club. Today, Seagulls are the largest multi-disciplined water based sports club in Dorset and offer youth swimming, masters swimming, synchronised swimming and water polo.

Seagulls Swimming Club has a strong and growing membership drawn from all age groups - 7 years & upwards, Seniors (18+) & Masters (25+) and as a result of it's twin bases attracts swimmers, water polo players and synchronised swimmers from Christchurch, New Milton & the surrounding areas of Dorset & Hants (Barton-on-sea, Bournemouth, Bransgore, Burton, Highcliffe, Milford-on-sea, New Milton, Lymington, Verwood and the New Forest).

Seagulls is a competitive club, in that its members are trained for competitive water based events. As such, all members (except Masters - see our Masters page) are expected to take an active part in the various swimming, water polo and synchro competitions that are run throughout the year.

The club is currently seeking sponsor(s) to contribute to ensuring that a solid financial foundation is in place which will in turn enable Seagulls SC to build positive medium & long-term plans for the future success of the club.

Sometimes people might be put off coming because they fear they "....might not be good enough", or "....might not know what to do".......but we recognise that everyone has to start somewhere and that you are only a beginner once. Basically the aim of our club is to make sure that everbody who joins us reaches their full potential. But don't take our word for it......why not come along for a free trial in any of the disciplines we offer & see what a great club we are for yourself.

Aspire.. Achieve.. Evolve..
The sky’s the limit.
