Grimsby Water Rats are associate members of the GCYC and have full use of the club facilities within the Alexandra dock. Our members range from 12 years old to 70 plus and all abilities from novice and recreational swimmers to serious athletes.

You can enjoy secure parking and the exellent new facilities of the clubhouse - warm changing rooms, shower and toilet facilities. Tea/coffee making faciites and a warm welcoming bar and outside balcony area. We have outdoor dock side seating for those long warm summer evenings after a swim.

Members meet, train and socialise at the club. We have a wonderful mix of people from English Channel swimmers, and top Tri-athletes to beginners, social swimmers and people just wanting to improve fitness.

We swim with permission from ABP and have developed rules, procedures and an up to date risk assessment in order to swim safely.

Swimming can take place from our club pontoons at any time, providing clearance is granted from the Royal Dock duty master.

We welcome new members, and like all new members to the club, we have a policy of nurturing through friendship and respect.
