Membership
Costs And Registration
Regardless of how many sessions you attend monthly fees, paid in advance by standing order to Duns ASC, currently £42 per person to be paid on 1st of the month. As we are a small club we need fees paid on time so we can pay our fees and insurance. Fees are on pro rata basis if join part way through a month.
Older members who join other clubs, e.g. students swimming with a University club, may be eligible for a part-time membership with Duns ASC. Please enquire with the membership secretary.
Swimmers under age of 10 years wanting to swim once a week can take on a half membership but if swimming more than once a week have to pay in full.
A reduction for swimmers over 10 years old who only swim once a week will be considered by the committee on a case by case basis. The following criteria will be used:
1. Financial circumstances
2. Other club commitments
3. Family commitments
4. Health / additional needs.
To support our required Affiliation with Scottish Amateur Swimming Association all swimmers must be registered with SASA, currently £48 per swimmer and £12 per adult if you wish to go poolside/join the committee, renewed annually in
March. This is an insurance policy for all swimming members and committee.
All swimmers are required to complete the following:
● Code of Conducts (provided by Club Wellbeing and Protection Officer)
● Photo Permission Form
● Medical and Emergency Contact form
Communication
We require parents to download the app called Stack Team App as this is where you sign up for the weekly sessions. This can easily be found in your mobile phone/tablet app store. Lots of information e.g. news, competition calendar, information on swimming galas etc. can be found on this app and it is the preferred method of communication with parents and/or swimmers. Urgent messages are also posted on this app.
Competitive Swimming
Many of our members compete at various levels, but we are aware that competition is not for everyone, so swimmers just wanting to improve technique and fitness are warmly welcomed. There is an expectation that as a minimum level swimmers will represent the club at Border League and our own club competitions (ie Duns 500) to ensure we are able to field relay teams. Parents and senior swimmers not competing are expected to support and volunteer their time to support the club in various capacities.
