We’re deeply thankful to the Di Walker Charitable Foundation for her incredible generosity in fully funding the GB Deaflympics team.
What began with one athlete’s story inspired Di Walker to support the entire squad — lifting a huge burden and allowing every athlete to focus fully on training and performance. This act of kindness embodies belief, encouragement, and community spirit, standing proudly behind every GB Deaf Swimming Deaflympics competitor. |

Who we are
GB Deaf Swimming Club meet at least twice a year for training weekends and works with home clubs to support Deaf Swimmers.
The first step in joining GB Deaf Swimming is to join your local competitive swimming club as we don’t offer weekly swimming lessons.
We welcome all competitive swimmers with a hearing loss of all standards from across the United Kingdom.

We annually hold the GB Deaf Swimming Championships and it is open to ALL British hearing impaired swimmers as long they are registered with Swim England / WASA or SASA.
Our coaches identify teams to represent Great Britain at the Deaflympics and we select our own teams to represent GB at International events including the European & World Championships.
In order to take part in the training events organised by Great Britain Deaf Swimming Club (GBDSC) or to set GBDSC records you are required to be a fully paid member of the club.
GBDSC is run by volunteers who are keen to help to create opportunities for deaf swimmers. If you think you can offer help or support please contact us.
