Rochford & District Swimming Club (RADS)

Rochford and District Swimming Club (RADS) was founded in 1978 at the request of Rochford District Council with the purpose of developing sport in the district.

Its inception was largely brought about by the completion of the Clements Hall swimming pool, which at the time boasted the only eight-lane 25 metre pool in Essex. This eventually grew into the magnificent leisure centre we know today.: The club has a large membership and runs a constructive teaching programme for all ages from five to adults.

RADS is primarily a competitive club and has enjoyed success in various leagues and in open events.

The club meets on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Clements Hall throughout the whole year, the only exception being over the Christmas period.

Interested in Joining RADS? Assessment sessions are held on the second Tuesday of every month at 6:00pm and take place at Clements Hall pool. Ask for head coach Doug Drake. Trials are free and so are the first two weeks of training following selection. Click Join RADS for more information.
