County Champions for 20 consecutive years!

Guildford City Swimming Club celebrated an historic landmark Sunday 5 February 2023 by being crowned Surrey County Champions for the 20^th consecutive year! For an unbelievable two straight decades the Club have successfully remained the number 1 competitive swimming club in the County. 

The final results for 2023 are: 

1	Guildford City	2707
2	Woking	686
3	Leatherhead	573
4	Elmbridge Phoenix	444
5	Epsom	434
6	Dulwich Dolphins	339
7	Sutton & Cheam	337
8	Kingston Royals	282
9	University of Surrey	274
10	Haslemere	266

Chief Coach Lee Spindlow was delighted with this year’s results, “We are extremely proud of all of our swimmers and their Coaches. The hard work throughout the year has once again paid off with these incredible results. Our Coaches continue to prove they are world class. Their athletic support and attention to detail in developing our swimmers is exceptional.  

Director of Swimming Richard Garfield continued, “Steve Wadey and I took over the running of Guildford City in May 1998. At that point we were ranked 10^th in Surrey with only 160 members. Most in the sport considered our ambition to be the #1 Surrey club to be slightly deluded!  

As the Surrey County Championship results for 1998 show there was a big mountain to climb. 

1	Leatherhead	840
2	Haslemere	278
3	Kingston	243
4	Leander	227
5	Woking	196
6	Elmbridge Phoenix	172
7	Epsom	128
8	Cranleigh	123
9	Croydon	121
10	Guildford City	111

By 2004 we had settled in, risen to the top, and since then have never looked back. Twenty consecutive years! We look forward to the next twenty. This incredible run would not be possible without a major team effort. Thanks must go to all of our Coaches and teachers (present and past), administrative staff, Board of Trustees and Management Team. Truly an exceptional swimming family.”
