Welcome to Team Jorvik. We are a small and friendly club in York, which aims to produce swimmers competitive at Yorkshire and NER level. We do this by providing the necessary facilities, help and coaching in the pool and on land. The squad has a friendly but focused atmosphere - we take the training seriously but we don't take ourselves seriously!
Please take a look around and don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
