Have you ever wondered about the origins of the West District of Scottish Swimming.
The Scottish Amateur Swimming Association celebrated its 100th Anniversary in 1988 and to commemorate the Anniversary, the S.A.S.A. commissioned Peter Bilsborough to compile a history of the Association.
With the kind permission of Peter’s widow Ellen, the relevant information relating to the formation and activities of the swimmers, Officials and volunteers of the Western Counties A.S.A. have been extracted from the Associations history and are contained in a set of pages available under “An Insight into the Wests’s Past” in the “About” menu on website main header.

The various extracts cover the period from the early 1800s through to 1988.

Hope you find the content relevant and interesting.
