Monthly Swimming Fees, 1 September 2023 - 31 August 2024

FNSC is a not-for-profit registered charity. Please help by us by completing a Gift Aid form if the card holder paying the fees is a UK tax payer. Please return to the club secretary or treasurer.

Fees

Fees are calculated annually then divided into 12 equal payments. They take into account holidays, sessions cancelled due to planned competitions and the Summer shutdown / tickover period. Fees are therefore payable for 12 months of the year. Learn to Swim fees are based on a 40-week year and are also divided equally so payable for 12 months of the year. The monthly fee comprises of two elements - the first covers all aspects of Club Membership and the second is a Training Fee, which varies depending on squad. This Training Fee reflects the pool and any gym time offered to each squad, as well as the level of teaching / coaching offered.

Payment

By joining the club, you agree to pay the monthly fees for the relevant squad. Fees are payable in advance on the first day of the month, from a credit or debit card added to your Team Unify account. In addition, on joining, new members will be charged one month’s membership fee in advance (£30) to cover registration fees and associated administration. Members starting within the first week of a month will be charged in full for this initial month. Members starting thereafter in the initial month will be charged membership and pro-rata training fees. 

Resignation and notice period

Any member wishing to cancel their membership of the Club must provide the Membership Secretary (email: [email protected]) of his/her intention. One full calendar month's notice must be received via email. The Club has a cut-off date for this to be received by the 8^th of the month for fees to be cancelled in the same month. If notice is received after this date, then the following month’s fees will be due. For example, if notice is received after 8 April, fees will be due on 1 May and membership will cease on 31 May. If one month’s membership fee has been paid in advance on joining then only the training fee will be due for this final month.

Non-payment of monies owed to the club may result in the swimmer NOT being allowed to swim until debts are cleared. If payments are not made for three months, the member will be deemed to have left the Club. Account holders can access invoice details in their TU account and are responsible for maintaining a valid payment card and checking failed payments (TU will notify these automatically).

Cancelled Sessions

Occasionally, due to unforeseen circumstances, there may be a number of unplanned cancelled sessions during the year. Whenever possible, the club will minimise the number of cancelled sessions by providing alternative sessions on different days or at different times or locations. Individual cancelled sessions due unforeseen issues (such as a pool being closed due to contamination) will not be refunded. Should the sessions for any squad need to be cancelled for a prolonged period then the committee will review fees and determine a refund policy. Please check TU emails and online timetables regularly.
