What Happens Next ?

 

 

Please return your completed application form to one of the committee (usually found in the corridor at training sessions) or hand to any of the club coaches.

 

If your child hasn’t already had a trial, these are held on the last Sunday of each month at 5.45 pm.

 

The Club Committee meets on the second Friday on each month. Your application for membership will be considered by the committee. If your application is approved you will receive a letter from the secretary confirming your child’s acceptance. This letter will also inform you which squad your child has been allocated to. This is decided by the Swimming Sub Committee.

 

If the club membership is full, your child’s name will be placed on a waiting list.

 

The current squad fees are displayed on the club notice board in the corridor at the Park Leisure Centre. These are payable monthly. All fees must be paid by standing order.  A yearly membership fee must also be paid upon joining the club and is also due in September each year. This fee includes the registration fee that the club must pay to the ASA.

 

A squad progression document is available to view on the club website. This gives the standards that a swimmer must achieve before they will be considered for a move to a higher squad. This document has been drawn up in line with the ASA National Plan for Teaching Swimming.

 

Barrow ASC is a competitive swimming club. As such your child, dependent on ability, will be expected to take part in Club Championship galas as well as galas / swim meets outside the club environment. Details of galas & swim meets are displayed on the club notice board and the club website. The club urges all parents to look on the notice board and the website on a regular basis. The club also produces a newsletter on a quarterly basis.

 

The club coaches encourage parents to discuss the progress of their child with them. They do, however, ask that this takes place after the coaching session has finished.

 

The club expects the highest standards of behaviour from your child. The club’s codes of conduct cover participants, parents and coaches. If your child misbehaves they may be asked to leave their session.

 

The swimming club has its own website.  This contains lots of useful information. The address is:

 

www.barrowasc.co.uk

 

Finally, the club hopes that your child will have an enjoyable time at Barrow ASC. If you are in any doubt as to what is happening or you don’t understand any aspect of the club activities, don’t hesitate to ask any member of the coaching staff or committee members. There are lots of us who have been in your position in the past.
