2008 – 2013: The Beginnings
The beginnings of the Academy Swim Team can be traced back to 2008. A major campaign to keep the local Burnham pool open culminated in new owners taking over and re-opening it as the Burnham-On-Sea Swim & Sports Academy.
In 2013, the Academy Swim Team Burnham-On-Sea was officially started up. We competed in our first ever event in November that year in Exeter, finishing 3rd out of 15 teams and collecting 36 medals!
