*If a parent/coach/official or volunteer wishes to change Swim England membership to Club Train or Club Compete (due to wishing to swim) then they will be responsible for paying the additional relevant SE fee plus the relevant club fee.

The principal should be that only those paying club membership fees can vote at the AGM/SGMs and stand for election.  That does preclude the coaches and volunteers from having these ‘rights’ if they are not paying a club membership fee.

For categories C and D it is for the club committee to decide on an annual basis whether the Coach/Volunteer/Officials are still active at the club, the minimum requirement is outlined below:

  • Coaches will need to be up to date with all courses and be currently coaching with the club.
  • Volunteers will have volunteered in various capacities during the previous year or will have their memberships activated when volunteering at any given event.
  • Officials will have represented the club at least three times during the calendar year at separate Galas for multiple sessions, this excludes County, Regional, or National events.

The above table is subject to change and will be reviewed annually by the Committee and notified to all members.
