The Bream Bay Swimming Club was formed in 1976 and is the only affiliated club promoting swimming within the wider Bream Bay District.  The BBSC is affiliated to the Northland Swimming Association, Swimming Northland.

 

During the winter months the club training is conducted at Tiana’s Swim School and in the warmer months the club moves operations to Bream Bay College Pool.
