Thanks for visiting the SASAC website. We hope we can show you who we are and what we do and your visit is informative.
We are also known as the St Albans Sub-Aqua Club, a branch of the British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC) and as the St Albans Saints, an Under Water Hockey Club and branch of the British Octopush Association (BOA).
We are a community water sports club established over 50 years ago in the heart of St Albans dedicated to promoting water sports and underwater activities. We offer facilities for scuba diving, snorkelling, underwater hockey (octopush) and swimming.
As a branch of the British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC) we organise dive trips and training for SCUBA and snorkel divers, with opportunities for experienced divers to advance their skills.
As a branch of the British Octopush Association (BOA) we provide facilities and coaching to play octopush from novice to experienced, with some of our members competing with Team-GB in international competitions.
Our large outdoor unheated swimming pool provides a tranquil environment to experience open air swimming, whether you are a triathlete needing a venue to practice in your wetsuit or are part of the increasingly large group of people who find cold water exposure beneficial for their health.
We are run on a not-for-profit basis by our members for our members. We have our own clubhouse and lecture room and encourage our members to socialise out of the water too and learn complementary skills like first aid and water rescue.
We are not open to the public. Access to our facilities is through membership or occasionally these are used by other local community groups, for example the local canoe club uses our pool in the summer to play water polo.
