2021 Academy Fees:

We are pleased to announce that we will again be freezing membership rates at 2020 levels and will continue to offer a 20% discount for families with more than one swimming member. The price cap for family membership will also remain unchanged at £50 per year.

New members will be expected to complete Swim England membership and Aquaforce membership forms within two weeks from starting with the Academy.

Training fees for Aqua Force 1, 2 & 3 should be paid on a monthly basis.

Any swimmer moving into advanced squads or higher will need to set up a direct debit or standing order to pay their monthly fees. Cash or cheque payments will not be accepted, as we attempt to reduce the amount of coaches time taken up by administrative duties.

To pay by direct debit or standing order see Carol Boagey Treasurer.

 

Advanced/Club Night:

Aqua Force Advanced and Club Night membership fees and Swim England fees will be collected together and MUST be paid by 31st January 2021, or the member will be suspended from swimming.

Training fees will be collected on a monthly basis. Fees are as follows

1 session per week – (Club Night) monthly payment of £10

2 sessions per week – monthly payment of £20

3 sessions per week – monthly payment of £30

4 sessions per week – monthly payment of £40

For current members, cash or cheque payments can be made. We do ask however, that payment by direct debit or standing order is considered as a first choice. It may become a condition of membership to move to a direct debit or standing order in the future.

Sessional payments are no longer accepted

 

Swim England Membership Fee

Annual Swim England Membership fee renewals must also be paid by 31st January each year and is collected with the annual membership by membership secretary Sarah Linton, and also when joining the club. These fees are compulsory, set by Swim England, and the year runs from 1st January to 31st December. The fees are insurance costs to cover your child whilst they are part of the Academy and Swim England. Once registered with Swim England you will be emailed your childs membership number – so please keep it safe. You will require this number for all entries into Academy competitions, open meets, county, regional and national championships.

Please note, due to changes in the Online membership System, a swimmer who fails to pay Swim England fees on time will be lapsed and will have to re-apply for membership to Swim England.
