About Whitby Seals ASC
Whitby Seals Amateur Swimming Club was founded in 1960 as an open Water swimming club, based at Whitby's outdoor pool. Club events at the time included swims in Lake Windermere, Lake Bala, the River Tay and a Sandsend to Whitby Coastal swim. The club became a member of the Amateur Swimming Association within the first year and in 1975 moved to the warmer climate of the new indoor pool.At the time of writing this (Feb 2010) we are extremely proud to say that one of the original founder members of the club is still one of our teachers! The club owes such a great debt of gratitude to such a wonderful lady, Nora Swales. Thank you Nora!
