Demanding it from ourselves; Expecting it from each others; Pursuing it as a team.
Glenrothes Amateur Swimming Club is more than fifty years old and provides an inclusive, friendly and welcoming environment for all swimmers. From the age of five, we have squads across all ages, up to and including Masters (over 25s), in both competitive and fitness only swimming. In addition, the club has enjoyed great success over many years in developing disability swimming.
Our team of highly experienced, professional coaches and teachers train, encourage and nurture our swimmers, resulting in achievement at regional, district and national levels. Our land and water training takes place at the excellent facilities at the Michael Woods Centre in Glenrothes, as well as at Cardenden Swimming Pool.
In addition, we provide other opportunities such as social events and Young Leader Awards.
Our club is run by dedicated volunteers who support our swimmers to be the best they can.

Following the success of our interview with Masters swimmer Scott Mitchell before Christmas, we are delighted that our next instalment of Swimming for Glenrothes will be available shortly. The subject this time is Paul Noble. Paul, whose only club was Glenrothes ASC, competed in five successive Paralympic Games between Los Angeles in 1984 and Sydney in 2000, winning a total of 15 Paralympic medals, including four golds.
We’re delighted to be able to tell our members that Glenrothes ASC has been short-listed for the Club of the Year Award in the Kirkcaldy & Central Fife Sports Council awards for 2023.
What a remarkable two months it has been for Glenrothes swimmers and for the club as a whole, read more about our list of achievements in the first couple of months of 2024.
For new swimmers we have made a list of our coach so swimmers aren’t anxious going on to new squads.
I consider myself as a bit of a dinosaur now but I still get a lot of enjoyment from Coaching. Helping swimmers to achieve their potential, sharing in their journey and having lots of laughs along the way is hugely rewarding.
I’m old(ish), I’m a professional photographer with my own studio and love my job. I enjoy swimming and do a lot of scuba diving and snorkelling when on holiday, I love a wee swim with sharks when I get the chance 😉.
I have coached every level at Glenrothes, from the absolute beginners to having a spell as Head Coach of the club.
