Joining
- what does that word mean? Does it mean signing your whole life away right now ~ NO.For children there are two possible ways into the club depending on your swimming ability:
- Children who can not yet swim 25m on their front and back should aim to enter our Learn To Swim programme. This programme offers a structured progression for children to progress from beginner to advanced levels at their own pace. To find out information on our Learn To Swim programme contact our Learn To Swim Co-Ordinator, Tom Watson, on (0131) 442 1297. Lessons run in a variety of pools on a block booking basis.
- Children who can swim more than 25m on their front and back are ready for entry into the main body of the club. To progress to this a trial is required. To arrange a trial and for further information please contact the Club Secretary, Kathy Pitcher, on (0131) 554 0914. Following this trial a one month FREE settling in period is granted following which (provided all is well) the swimmer will be asked if they wish to join.
For adults the club currently caters for swimmers who are proficient and looking primarily to maintain their physical fitness or competition. For further information please contact the Club Secretary, Kathy Pitcher, on (0131) 554 0914.
