If you’re interested in joining, the answers to the following questions may help you:
My child would like to try out for club membership …
Every year many children join the club from our swim school and other local schools. We hold regular trials to assess swimmers for membership of the club. For more information regarding the time and dates of assessments please contact Karen at secretary.ruthinrays@gmail.com
What standard of swimming are the coaches looking for in swimmers?
New swimmers who would like to trial will:
- Be able to swim and demonstrate a good technique in 50m freestyle, 50m backstroke and 50m breaststroke
- Be able to swim 25m butterfly (minimum 15m with good dolphin leg kick)
- Be able to dive from side or block
- Be able to do a basic forward roll at the wall
I am already swimming competitively and would like to join the club
In the first instance you should contact Karen who will direct you through the process. It would be a good idea to have details of your PB’s to hand in order to assist in determining your current level
As a new swimmer, you will be assessed by one of the Swimming Club squad coaches depending upon availability. After a short in-water assessment of your swimming ability, you may be invited to join the squad best suited to your level of ability, as decided upon by the assessing coach. This is of course, being subject to there being space in that squad.
I have been offered a squad place – what do I do now?
You’ll need to complete a number of Club membership forms and a WASA Membership form, and then submit them with your payment to the membership secretary. You can not swim until this process is complete, so that you are covered by the Club’s WASA insurance policy.
Please ensure that you also provide your WASA Forms. These can be obtained from any of the squad coaches or from the membership secretary. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide these WASA forms as downloads.
The membership secretary will also be able to give you details of our current squad fees and WASA fees.
You will be given a start date when all your membership forms and fee are handed in. This will normally be one week after receipt of payment and forms, to ensure that you are covered by the club’s WASA insurance.
