Our Club
Plymouth Swallows Gymnastic Club was founded by Mrs Daphney Leeworthy in 1970. Originally set up to run in a local school in Plymouth called Bishop Vaughan. Daphney’s daughter, Robin Leeworthy who is now Head Coach of Plymouth Swallows grew up knowing that her mother was striving to provide a much needed facility in Plymouth which would, over the years take many hours and determination to lead the club forward and make it what it is today.
Presently Swallows is a thriving club who run classes for children of all ages and abilities. We hold 5 sessions per week for under 3’s which is an unstructured informal session where the children are accompanied by their parent/guardian. There are a further 8 classes for children aged 3-5 years which has a more structured approach which leads towards the BG badge scheme. We accommodate a large number of recreational and competitive gymnasts. The club gives over 11 one hour sessions for this purpose and classes are made up of mixed sex groups of similar age with a coaching ratio aim of 1:7. Some of these children will progress to one and a half or two hour advanced recreational classes of which we have 6-7 groups. We also have 2 groups of slightly more advanced/able gymnasts aged 6-8 years who we class as our developmental children. These boys and girls attend training for 2 sessions of up to two hours a week. Novice level train 2 times a week, intermediate 3 times a week, regional 3 times a week and our very able gymnasts are currently training 5 to 6 times a week.
