About Us

History

The club was established over 15 years ago. In 2009 we entered Division 4 of the Swim Ulster Provincial Towns League (PTL). In 2012 we came runner up in our Division and were promoted to Division 3. Then Omagh pool complex was closed for 2 years. We kept the club going, albeit with reduced membership, travelling to training in Strabane and Cookstown for 2 years while the Omagh pool was rebuilt. We returned to the amazing new Omagh Pool Complex in September 2014 and have been rebuilding the club ever since.
