Latest News:
Girls Team Captain
Warley would like to congratulate 'Claire Fielding' on becoming this years girls team captain. The team captains have been neglected over the past number of years, but we are now reinstating the position, so they can help in the running of the teams.
Aston Training
We are looking to expand upon the number of swimmers attending Aston University training. If anyone is in need of a lift for the session, please ask one of our committee members and a lift for your child can be arranged. We are always willing to help our members. It is also very important we attend and support the sessions. The pool itself is only situated some 15 minutes away from Smethwick Swimming Centre.
We have updated the club history by adding two photographs from 1951, the Warley mens and ladies team race. If anyone, past and present knows of any of the swimmers or the coach, please let us know.

Saturday evening saw our Junior team swim its first gala of the New Year. The teams we were up against were: Heath Town, Wolverhampton Masters, Oldbury, Wombourne and Broadway. The official individual race results, at the time of writing, have not been recieved, but the final results were as follows:
1st: Wombourne 224
2nd: Broadway 204
3rd=: Warley WASPS 197
3rd=: Oldbury 197
4th: Wolves Masters 117
5th: Heath Town 81
All swimmers performed and behaved admirably. For a number of swimmers this was their first ever gala and again, performed superbly! We also had a number of key swimmers unavailable, so this result shows, yet again, we have improved upon last year and we continue to move in the right direction. Once the race details have been recieved a full report will be posted on the website.
"Keep up the good work, keep training and keep performing to a high standard!!"
We now have a new page on our website. This page shows the structure of our dedicated Teaching and Coaching staff.
Warley WASPS have formed a club/school link with 'Sandwell Academy'. We will be offering our services to 'Sandwell Academy' athletes, who in turn will be promoting our club within their 'Outstanding' school. There are a few formalities to be discussed, but this will be an exciting and exclusive venture! More proof and evidence we are moving in the right direction!
We are attempting to secure a land training session and venue for Tuesday evenings, hopefully from 6.00 pm to 7.30 pm. This will include circuit training and some other cross sport activities. We hope to open the sessions up to parents as well as swimmers, this is also part of our Swim 21 committment for the Development stage, which we wish to achieve. Keep looking for final details.
