Our History
Discover the roots of the Academy Swim Team and our journey in Burnham-On-Sea.
A Legacy of Swimming Excellence
Academy Swim Team was founded with a single mission: to provide a fast, fun, and friendly environment for swimmers of all ages and ambitions. From our humble beginnings in Burnham-On-Sea, we have grown into a competitive and community-focused club that prides itself on teaching excellence and sportsmanship.
The Early Days
Since our doors first opened, we have been dedicated to fostering local talent. Our original committee members set the foundation for a club that would not only compete at country-level but also support grassroots development.
Looking to the Future
As we head into the 2026-27 season, our commitment remains stronger than ever. The history of AST is still being written by our dedicated swimmers, volunteers, and coaches.
