Welcome to Swansea Bay Orienteering Club!
About Us:
Founded in 1972, Swansea Bay Orienteering Club serves as a hub for orienteering across much of South West Wales.
We currently have approximately a hundred members, aged between 5 and 85.
There is a wide range of ability and experience within the club, from beginners to elite orienteers, who represent Great Britain internationally.
Club Activities:
Throughout the year, we host a variety of events and activities. Much of the focus in the Summer is on the series of Wednesday evening events – the Summer League. Throughout the rest of the year there are other local events and coaching sessions. In addition, we normally host at least two major events each year which attract orienteers from all over the U.K
We are very fortunate to have so many interesting and varied maps to orienteer on nearby, from the sand dunes of Merthyr Mawr (Bridgend) to the rugged Preseli Hills in the West and stretching North into the wild Brecon Beacons.
Engaging the Community: We're passionate about involving everyone, from beginners to elites. Our programme of events caters for all. We also prioritise junior development in the sport and have recently set up a junior squad with training opportunities on a regular basis.
Join Us: Whether you're a seasoned orienteer, a curious newcomer, or a family looking for an exciting new activity, Swansea Bay Orienteering Club has a place for you.

Some of our newer members have said:
“The great thing about orienteering is that as a family we can all compete at our own level and work on our own goals.”
“I love exploring parts of the countryside that I would never go to if it wasn't for orienteering”
“The children really like the whole club thing - the BBQs, the socials, the club champs, the great club kit and the atmosphere at the big events.”
