Please note:<\/em> We currently have a waiting list for new members, which we are working through. If you would like to be added to the waiting list, please email waggaswimclub@gmail.com with your name, and your child’s name and age.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Are you or your child\/ren interested in joining Wagga Wagga Swim Club? We have multiple squads to cater for just about anyone, including our Masters\/Recreation squad, which caters for anyone looking to stay fit and get some stroke correction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to join Wagga Wagga Swim Club<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Contact the club<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Email our Secretary Nic Maher at waggaswimclub@gmail.com<\/strong><\/a>, expressing your interest in you\/your children joining, and requesting an assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested in joining our Masters\/Rec squad, an assessment is not required; simply contact us to let us know you are interested. We will confirm availability of spots with you, and you can then proceed to step 3, below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Complete an assessment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have booked your child in for the assessment, bring them down to the Oasis at the given date\/time. Head to the deep end of the indoor 25 m pool, and introduce yourself to one of our coaches (they will be wearing the blue and yellow Swim Club tshirt, so should be easy to spot!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coaches will let you know as soon as the assessment is over whether your child is right to join the club and which squad they will be in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Register with Swimming NSW<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once your child has been approved by one of our coaches to join a squad, you will need to register them with Swimming NSW, through Swim Central. All swimmers aged 16 <\/em>years or under require a parent or carer to also register with Swimming NSW. Parents can register as a non-swimmer if preferred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow the steps in our handy ‘how to’ guide to register with Swimming NSW: click here to download<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that Swimming NSW registration is for an annual membership, which runs from October each year. Unfortunately they do not offer any discount for swimmers joining partway through the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Register with WWSC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve completed your registration with Swim Central, email Nicole to let her know (waggaswimclub@gmail.com<\/strong><\/a>). Nicole will then send you the links to register with our club, and nominate your preferred training times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full list of training sessions is available here<\/strong><\/a>. Note that some training sessions book out, so your selections will not be guaranteed until you receive an email from the club confirming your training sessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Pay your training fees<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have registered, we will invoice you for the Swim Club training fees. The fees per week for each squad are summarised below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
