Moseley Shoals

Moseley Shoals Birmingham's Social Gay Swimming & Water Polo Group Some years we attend swimming competitions, for which extra coaching sessions are provided.

The Moseley Shoals was founded in April 2000 and has grown into a thriving and diverse sporting and leisure swimming club. We are a mixed ability group - everything from 'splash & chat' to competition standard swimming, and now our popular water polo. There is a social dimension to the group, including undoing all the good work by going to the pub after each swimming session ! We also have cinema

/ theatre trips, balti nights, picnics in the summer, and visits to Moseley Farmers Markets. Most years we have a short break away on the continent for regular members, with friends welcome to join us. There is no need to pay a joining fee, or sign-up for an ongoing commitment - just come along and join in each week, or whenever you can. We have an informal approach to membership, and regular members get involved in our range of social activities. We welcome male and female swimmers of all abilities, but currently cannot take non-swimmers.
