The Sheerness Swimming Club was founded in 1884. The Sheerness Lifeguard Corps was formed on 17 April 1959. The two Clubs merged on 2 February 1969 to become The Sheerness Swimming Club & Lifeguard Corps. The Club celebrated its 125-year anniversary in 2009 and is still serving the residents of the Isle of Sheppey by providing instruction to total non-swimmers, improvers and competitive standard swimmers. The Club also provides life-saving instruction and personal survival training. During the period from June to September members provide lifeguard cover on Sundays at the bathing beach on Sheerness seafront. The Club can be contacted by post: 16 Galway Road, Sheerness, Kent ME12 2QL
