Barry’s Ethos
Barry has two main aims with in the club:

To develop and prepare swimmers to a high standard of swimming, so successful swimmers can be fed into leading University programmes and go on to achieve International performances.
To have a multi disciplined club, which allows swimmers to be part of a social group and participate in exercise for life and compete up to a level they are comfortable with around a balanced lifestyle.

“The clubs atmosphere will always be fun, family orientated and competitive and will provide a route to the top of National Level swimming for those that have the ability and desire to achieve, as well as programmes that allow swimmers to compete up to county and district standard, and compete in the many interclub leagues in various disciplines that Seagulls competes in.”
