About Us
The club started at its first sponsor Juliette's Lodge in Vieux-Fort where it had the swimming lessons in the pool provided.
After a few years later, Coconut Bay Resort and Spa generously offered to sponsor
the club and make their facilities available and since then the club has had their swimming lessons there.
However, swimming in its most natural form, at the beach, has not been forgotten and the club still has open water lessons there once a week.
The Southern Flying Fish Swim Club is divided into five (5) levels ranging from beginner to "amateur
professional". Levels 1 and 2 are beginner classes in which young children learn to swim. Levels 3 and 4 are more
serious and intermediate. Occasionally, swimmers from level 4 compete at swim meets.
Level 5 is the most experienced land competitive level in the club. They practise more than any other level in the
club ( 4 times a week) and often compete against other clubs at swim meet.
SFF is the only swim club in the south of St. Lucia. The sport was not considered a major sport in the south, but
thanks to SFF it has gained more relevance and popularity.
