Overall Review:
The Calcutta Swimming Club is the oldest swimming club of Calcutta. This club has contributed a lot to the history of swimming in Kolkata being founded in the British era. Being some what significant from the historical background, a section below is dedicated mentioning the brief history of this swimming pool located on stand road, Kolkata. Banking upon the reviews of the people who have some idea about the swimming culture of Kolkata, the Calcutta swimming club can be said as the best swimming pool in Kolkata.
Though primarily this swimming facility was aimed to fulfill the need of a sophisticated swimming pool in Kolkata, gradually this swimming club has grown and nowadays provides a lot more other facilities to its members other that just swimming. These facilities include the multi gym facility, ball room, card room and even guest house. By the way, there are two swimming pools in the club one is outdoor standard 50 meter swimming pool with the attached bar facility at one side. The other swimming pool is the inner swimming pool mainly used to provide swimming classes to the children. The swimming classes that are being imparted here for the children are reckoned as one of the best swimming classes in Kolkata for the beginners. There is also some swimming facility available for the amateurs.
But again the main concern with the calcutta swimming club is the membership, being a elite club, the membership of this club is not dependent on solely the subscription amount and beside that the referral of at least two existing members is mandatory for applying for the membership. The water quality of the water of the swimming pools is much fair as both the outdoor as well as the indoor, are well maintained.
The Calcutta swimming club basically provides the swimming facility for the amateurs and the beginners and professional swimming coaching is absent here. For that reason this swimming club is found to be not represented by any swimmers in most of the district and state level swimming competitions and championships oriented to swimming in Kolkata. This swimming club of central Kolkata, neither provides any other swimming activities like diving or water polo.
But the club arranges an annual aquatic competition in intra club level comprising of the members of the swimming club in a festive mood. This club also involves and keeps provision for its members to take part in some tea party or get together in some occasions of Christmas, Halloweens etc.
