Albany Swim Club welcomes enquiries from all swimmers in the local area! Please read the information below.
If you have questions at any time, please email our Registrar.
Before joining
Swimmers must be at Stage 7 or above to join Albany Swim Club. Our coaches will also assess the swimmer to ensure readiness for the rigours of training.
Then, if a place is available in the right squad, the swimmer will be offered a place. If the squad is currently at capacity, then the swimmer will be placed on a waiting list.
You can register your interest by completing the form below.
Club fees for 2019/20 season
The committee has been working hard to ensure best value for money for all swimmers this season:
-
We have redirected all profits from the 2019 Albany Short Course into coaching fees – which means no increase to coach or club fees this year.
-
This season, we are trialling extending the Dolphins and Sharks programs to be 50 weeks (previously 45 weeks for Dolphins; 48 weeks for Sharks) at no extra cost.
These fees include:
-
Club fees: rent of the swim club rooms, utilities, insurance of equipment and assets, maintenance and cleaning fees, stationery, awards/functions, club and championship nights, target meet relay entries, contribution to away meets such as Country Pennants.
-
Coaching fees: coaching salaries and superannuation, coaching employment insurances, coaching professional development costs, coaching travel costs, venue hire for dry land programs.
-
Swimming WA membership: this is mandatory for all swimmers, and covers swimmer liability insurance and the ability to compete at sanctioned swim meets.
Albany Swim Club is proudly a KidSport club. We also offer payment plans for families experiencing genuine financial hardship. Please email our Treasurer to discuss either of these.
Pool entry
Swimmers will also need to pay entry into the Albany Leisure & Aquatic Centre (ALAC) each training session. ALAC offers a range of memberships, or you can pay for pool entry as you go. Please see ALAC staff for details and prices.
