After an application have been received, a trial will be arranged by our Membership Secretary, who will liaise with the Coaching team. During this trial session the coaches will assess the swimmers ability and squad placement.
Which squad suits you best ?
Dorking Swimming Club is structured into a number of swimming squads according to a swimmer's age and ability. We start with a learn to swim programme and run through to our Masters Swimmers.
Competitive Squads for the under 18s
New members seeking to join one of these competitive squads are initially invited to register for a swimming trial with the Membership Secretary. The Membership Secretary will liaise with the coaches of the appropriate competitive squads to arrange a trial. Parents must complete the DSC Membership and Medical Form before any trial may take place.
After the trial, the coach will discuss with parents the most appropriate squad for their child and notify the Membership Secretary. Parents will then receive an invitation to join the Club from the Membership Secretary.
