All swimmers need to be able to swim to a specified standard and will need a "trial" session prior to joining.
Fees as of February 2024: £35 / month / swimmer. (Excluding Swim Wales Membership).
This will give swimmers the opportunity to swim on Tuesday AND Thursday.
There is no obligation to swim on both days so this will give more flexibility if swimmers or family have other committments.
Your Swim Wales membership is now being changed to 12 months from your date of purchase. (Much better than the previous once per year (April)!
Yes!
There are 2 Swim Wales memberships: Also a yearly Swim Wales fee of £37 for training or £39 for competing is payable once a year.

Most of your membership fee is used to pay for the pool facility.
Our coaches, Committee members and pool helpers are all volunteers, but occasionally they have necessary expenses (training, travelling to events, etc.) which are paid by the Club.
The Club also has a supply of equipment for general use - this needs updating from tine to time.
