Welcome to Fox Hollies Swimming Club
Fox Hollies Swimming Club is an independent, family oriented, competitive swimming club. Our club is open to anyone over the age of four. Emphasis is on competitive swimming, but we have sessions for swimmers of all abilities including non-swimmers. All are welcome.
We compete in a variety of leagues and galas. Some of our members have represented the City of Birmingham and the County of Warwickshire at a competitive level.
We hold several swimming sessions a week at Fox Hollies Leisure Centre and King Edwards Schools.
There will be no swimming sessions at Fox Hollies Leisure Centre during August. The club will resume swimming at Fox Hollies on Sunday 5th September. The only closure at King Edward’s will be on Bank Holiday Monday.

King Edward’s School has some major building work starting in the summer holidays, and continuing for some months.
The Park Vale entrance (the entrance off Bristol Road) will be for the exclusive use of the building contractors, and will be out of bounds for everyone else.
The parade ground will not be available for parking, as this will be in use by the builders. Parking will only be allowed down the main drive, in front of the main part of the school.
The Diddy League 2010 results have just arrived. In our first year in Division 2 after our promotion last year, Fox Hollies finished solidly in mid-table, 14th out of 24. That’s one place ahead of Orion, so competition at our Friendly Gala on Wednesday is sure to be stiff!
Well done to all the Diddly League swimmers!
A reminder that KES Boys pool will be closed on Wednesday 7th July as the school are holding their house swimming competition. We’ll be back there the following night for the friendly gala against Orion.
The team sheets for final Diddy League Gala at Pingles in Nuneaton, and for the Friendly Gala against Orion are now available.
The Mercian League have published details for round 3. Fox Hollies are swimming against Wombourne, Redditch, Ludlow, Bromsgrove, and Oldbury in gala 4 at Wombourne Leisure Centre. The gala is on Saturday 10th July.
