The Walton Swifts Walking Football Club was created back in 2014 by two men from Walton on the Naze, John Kilby and Chris Knighton.
Their aim was to provide local people over the age of 50 with a means of getting regular, fun, healthy exercise along with the opportunity to socialise as a group.
From small beginnings the club has flourished and has a current active membership of around 50 players between the ages of 50 and 84. We are delighted that we now also have some women members with us. The success has been dramatic and the enjoyment that the members get from playing the football they still love followed by a few beers has to be experienced to fully understand just how good it all is.
The success of the club meant moving from Walton on the Naze to much better (and safer) facilities at Frinton on Sea Lawn Tennis Club with football members from Walton, Frinton and more widely in Tendring.
The club now plays football twice each week for an hour on Mondays and Wednesdays with between 16 and 24 attendees each time. The Swifts also regularly visit other Walking Football clubs for friendly or tournament play for the occasional something that bit more competitive.
