Any person wishing to join the Club must complete an application form, pay the agreed subscription for the class of membership desired and confirm that they are proficient swimmers. They may be asked to undertake a swimming test. The General Committee will consider all applications at its meeting following the display of the application forms on the Club notice board for at least 48 hours following the application being made. The General Committee may refuse membership for good cause such as conduct or character likely to bring the Club or sport into disrepute. Appeal against such refusal may be made to the members in accordance with Rule 7.b.viii. 

Membership may be also be refused if the Club’s existing membership is of such a size that there are insufficient facilities to cater for any further members. If it is necessary to refuse membership for this reason applicants will be offered the opportunity to be placed on a waiting list. Vacancies, as they occur, will be offered to those persons on the waiting list in the order that they joined it.

Prospective members will be allowed 2 free training sessions whether water sessions or land sessions or one of each. 

Thereafter they will be required to pay a Session Training Fee (as determined by the Annual General Meeting each year), currently £3, for each session undertaken whether on land or water for no longer than a further month.

 At the end of this time they must have completed an Application Form and Standing Order Instruction or paid the appropriate Subscription. Failure to do so will result in the withdrawal of access to the Cub’s equipment. Payment of the Session Training fee does not entitle prospective members to any of the rights and privileges of membership save the use of the necessary equipment.

Only members aged 16 and above not in arrears by more than 1 month may vote at General Meetings and be elected to an official position in the Club.

The Club will ensure that the talents and resources of all members are utilised to the full and that no member receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of sex, handicap, marital status, creed, social class, colour, ethnic group, race, age or sexual orientation or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be relevant to performance.
