| Farleigh and District Swimming Club.
Half a mile downstream from Stowford Farm, Farleigh boasts the only
river swimming club left in the country. Founded in 1933, it now has
over 2000 members. The water is fresh, with a deep area above the
weir for lovely swimming. There are toilets and changing rooms available.
There is also a large car park with easy access to swimming. The Club
is run by a Committee, who take it in turns to collect subs. Sometimes
in the height of the summer we have to employ somebody to help out.
The Club is chaired by stalwart enthusiast, Mr. Rob Fryer. Membership
is compulsory for insurance reasons but subscriptions are kept low
at £16 for a family membership, £10 for an adult membership, and £5
for a junior one. These can be paid in instalments.
