Disadvantaged Swimmer / Inclusion Policy

Barrow Amateur Swimming Club supports the premise that swimming should be an inclusive sport and that young persons with potential should not be disadvantaged. As such the club provides a designated inclusion fund the purpose of this is to support those swimmers who might otherwise have to give up the sport through financial hardship.

The fund is discretionary. Persons receiving Income Support, Income Based Job Seekers Allowance or can demonstrate a similar level of hardship can apply to the Club Committee, through the Treasurer, for a reduction in the cost of membership and/or training fees. The amount of the reduction is at the discretion of the Club Committee although the following guidelines apply to a family seeking to use the fund.

For the First Child The member would pay 80% of normal fees

For the Second Child The member would pay 70% of normal fees

For the Third / subsequent child The member would pay 50% of normal fees
