A competitive swimming
club
|
|
|
Anaconda is a highly successful
competitive swimming club. It is a requirement of the Club that all
swimmers in the squads in the big pool at Cally Pool must be committed
to representing the Club in galas. All swimmers in the big pool at IRB
are encouraged to make themselves available to swim in galas if invited
to do so. |
|
|
Annual membership fees |
|
|
Membership of Anaconda Swimming Club includes an annual fee payable to
the Amateur Swimming Association and contributes to the Club’s
insurance. All swimmers are obliged to pay the Annual Membership Fee.
Fees are payable on 1 January. Swimmers whose fees remain unpaid by the
end of February will be removed from the membership list and will not be
permitted to participate in training sessions. |
|
|
Subscriptions |
|
|
Subscriptions are payable monthly and
are due on the first Sunday/Monday/Tuesday of each month or the first
applicable session. All swimmers are encouraged to pay their fees to the
Club by Bank Standing Order (forms are available from the Administrator.
Subscriptions can also be paid by cash/cheque, preferably quarterly in
advance.
Absences
must be paid for, including absence for illness or holiday. Any swimmer
who plans to be absent for a prolonged period (4 weeks or more) should
inform the Administrator in advance in order to retain the swimmer’s
place in the Club. Any request for non-payment of subscriptions must be
put in writing in advance. Normal summer holidays will not be
considered. Teaching sessions at Highbury Grove are provided on a
10-week basis, payable in advance. |
|
|
Refunds |
|
|
The session rates have been calculated
to even out the monthly payments and take into account pool closures.
Refunds will only be made if the Club is unable to provide the stated
minimum weekly sessions (48 or 44 as shown on the membership form)
during the full calendar year. Any transfer to a different session will
take place with effect from the first session of the month. |
|
|
Late payments |
|
|
Any swimmer whose fees remain unpaid
for 2 months will be removed from the membership list to allow another
swimmer to take the vacant place. Any swimmer removed from the
membership list will not be permitted to re-apply until all arrears are
paid and may only be re-instated at the discretion of the management
committee. |
|
|
Resignation |
|
|
Anyone wishing to leave the Club can
do so at any time without penalty by notifying the Administrator one
month in advance. Failure to notify will incur a maximum of two months
additional fees as the Club will hold the swimmer’s place for up to two
months. The Club cannot afford to keep vacant places that are not paid
for. It is therefore helpful to everyone to give of intention to leave
the Club. |
|
|
Galas |
|
|
The Club’s notice board gives details
of galas. Parents/guardians should check whether their child has been
invited to swim and indicate their availability on the notice sheet.
Late cancellations let down the team and the other swimmers.
Parents/guardians should ascertain whether a bus is provided for the
team and in particular check the return time of the bus in order to
collect the swimmers from Cally Pool on their return. |
|
|
Club kit |
|
|
Anaconda swimmers are asked to wear
Club hats (if they normally wear a hat) and T-shirts when representing
Anaconda at a gala. |
