Club records represent the pinnacle of achievement within Garstang Gators — the fastest swims ever recorded by our athletes across each stroke and distance. They’re not just numbers on a spreadsheet; they’re milestones earned through grit, training, and exceptional performance. Breaking a club record is a rare and celebrated moment, often requiring swimmers to push beyond personal bests and deliver under pressure.

These records are set in official competitions, where conditions are tough and the competition fierce. Many have stood for years, held by swimmers who went on to county, regional, or even national success. To beat one, a swimmer must combine perfect technique, race strategy, and mental focus — often shaving off mere tenths of a second.

But chasing records is part of the journey. It inspires swimmers to train harder, dream bigger, and believe in their potential. Every time a swimmer gets close, it lifts the whole squad — proving that progress is possible and greatness is within reach.

When a record does fall, it’s a moment of pride for the swimmer and the club. It shows that the Gator spirit is alive — always striving, always improving, and always ready to make history in the pool.
