About Staines Swimming Club
Introduction
Staines Swimming Club strives to promote swimming in the boroughs
of Spelthorne, Runnymede and the surrounding area. Its aim is to
provide its members with a structured programme, ensuring that they
fulfil their potential whatever their ability.
The Management Committee
The Management committee, governing Staines Swimming Club, consists
of an Executive Committee comprising a Chairman, Secretary and
Treasurer and other members. The Management committee meets on a
monthly basis
Fees and Membership
The membership fee and pool time fees are combined and divided into
12 monthly payments, which should be made by standing order before
the 1st of each month. In addition, all members must pay an
annual
A.S.A. registration fee to the Club who, in turn, pass
it on to the A.S.A. This is collected annually in January of each
year. Members are expected to meet all open, championship and other
competition fees. The club contributes to team entries for the
appropriate galas.
Costume and Equipment
Club colours are black, red and white with the Staines logo of a
swan. Hats, track suits, t-bags, polo shirts, sweat shirts and
T-shirts are available to buy from the
club shop. Swimmers should have fins, zoomers, kick
board, pull buoy, bands and paddles according to which group they
train with and these are available as new or second hand.
Fixtures
Annual club championships, Level 1, 2 and 3 galas, novice events,
