#we rule the pool!

Become an Emperor!

The Jamestown Emperors Amateur Swimming Club is a competitive swimming club that supports team work, inclusion, self improvement, participation & fun in all aspects of our club programs.

We provide extensive development trainings covering technique and fitness. We encourage all athletes to attend at least 2 training nights per week (please see below for days and times). This will ensure qualification into our Friday Night Upper North Carnival teams and to get the best out of the entire swim season.

There is an expectation that all swimmers will be able to make themselves available to compete Friday nights, if not all, but some. It is however not a compulsory requirement and our coaches will be happy to accommodate those who would like to simply train and learn without competing, as we encourage all forms of participation.

Open Carnival participation is recommended at some point throughout the season to gain long course (50m) pool times as well as the short course (25m) times outside of our interclub nights, and it is a great way to gain self confidence and individual improvement in the sport.

We have a very hard working dedicated team of committee members within our club who strive hard to create club success every year. Your involvement in the club at some level will be greatly appreciated whether it is becoming a committee member or stepping up for a Friday Night Carnival job or at an Open Carnival when we need time keepers and pool officials.

We encourage our athletes to develop confidence, accept challenges, enjoy themselves and show respect to their coaches and other team members. Our club adheres to the Play by the Rules codes of conduct for athletes, spectators and coaches.
