Witham Dolphins Swimming Club

How To Join

New members are always welcome. If you, or your child, enjoy swimming and would like to join a competitive swimming club but are not sure about the entry requirements then please come along to one of the training sessions and talk to one of the coaches or committee members and they will be happy to answer your questions.

Sunday night is "club night" for all swimmers in all squads, although not at all the same time! For all new attendees and potentials to our club, you should be at Bramston Swimming Pool on a Sunday Night for a 5pm swim.

Be advised that our regular development schedule may have you being assessed on all four strokes or just the one in the time available on any one particular Sunday.

Assessment Information - Need To Know;

- Please be on time

- The pool assessment is typically conducted over a six week consecutive period

- There is a fixed fee for the assessment (refer to fees section below)

- Any ongoing medication, ailments or disabilities should be declared at the point of registration

- Complete ASA & club registration forms

- Bring a swimming costume, towel and a plastic drinks bottle with a non-fizzy drink

Upon successful completion of the trial, squad allocation is determined by Head Coach, Paul Robbins. This typically takes into account ability, training commitment and the pool space / time available.

Lane allocation will depend on numbers attending and will be decided by the coach at the time of the session
