Membership Information
New Swimmer Entry Procedure: Stirling Swimming is a competitive age group swimming club and welcomes new swimmers to the club. To ensure swimmers are placed in the correct squads and that squad sizes are not increased beyond capacity the club has set out the following procedures for entry. New swimmers are considered from two categories:
Category A: swimmers joining a swimming club for the first time:
- Swimmers are considered from the Stirling Swimming pre-club swim programme.
- Other local learn to swim programmes are also encouraged to recommend swimmers for entry to the club.
- All swimmers will take part in trials to determine their skills and suitability to join the club.
- New swimmers will be entered into the lowest squad suited to their abilities.
Category B: swimmers who wish to move to Stirling Swimming from another club are prioritised as follows:
- Accept swimmers moving from other clubs outside the Central Scotland area, since we feel it is our responsibility, as a club, to ensure current swimmers can continue pursuing their sport after a family move. Swimmers will be invited to a trial and (if successful) entered into the squad appropriate to their experience and ability.
- Accept swimmers from another club in the Central Scotland area who wish to move to Stirling Swimming. Such swimmers will only be invited to a trial if there is capacity to accept the swimmer into the club. If successful at a trial the swimmer will be entered into the squad appropriate to their experience and ability.
Upon being offered a place in Stirling Swimming Club, applicants must complete either a Scottish Amateur Swimming Association (SASA) club membership form (for new swimmers) or a SASA change of club membership form (for swimmers transferring from another club).
If you have any questions, contact the Membership Secretary.
