Joining Policy
As a Club, CWSC has an ethos of competition. We look to offer membership to swimmers that show the greatest aptitude to competitive swimming.
CWSC has more demand for membership places than the Club is able to satisfy. However, spaces do become available as members gain promotion through the squads, or as members leave the Club.
Swimmers interested in joining the Club are invited to an assessment, where coaches will determine whether swimmers meet the criteria for our competitive pathway.
The Club is not obliged to extend membership to any potential swimmer yet we maintain a strict equality policy which conforms to the ASA policy. If, at an assessment, the coaches judge that swimmers do not meet the minimum criteria, then CWSC is not obliged to fill any available places. If a swimmer is not offered membership, our coaches will attempt to provide feedback.
Parents and new swimmers should be aware that for their child to be successful in being offered membership, it is likely that they already will be swimming on a regular basis.
Questions regarding the membership process and schedule are invited to email [email protected]. Swimmers who already are competing should provide their ASA number and current official times.
