How to join
The club welcomes new members all the time.
Trials are held by appointment at Cygnet Leisure Center. If your child/ren to come along for a trial, please make your way to the poolside. One of our learn to swim coaches will find you. It is recommended that you email GNSC Membership email and confirm the booking of your trial ahead of your arrival.
Once you have had the trial, the coach will decide on the best lane/squad for your children to join. You can find information about the club's swim groups and fees here.
Before swimmers can join the club we require a one off payment of £50.00 per swimmer, this covers the swimmers ASA registration and club joining fee, along with all the relevant joining forms. Joining forms can be downloaded from our website or collected from the membership desk.
Swimmers will not be allowed to join in the lessons until the relevant joining forms are returned and joining fees are paid. Payment can be made by cash or cheque made payable to 'Gravesend and Northfleet swimming club' at the membership desk.
The membership desk will be open in the viewing area from 7pm on Fridays in the Cygnets viewing gallery if you would like to discuss anything before your trial.
