Join Bury and Elton ASC

Joining any new club can be pretty daunting for anyone, let alone a child! This section contains lots of information about joining Bury and Elton Swimming Club and describes a little about our friendly, welcoming approach to new members. Topics covered include how to come and try, what equipment you might need, who to contact, which session  would I start in, do I have to be a good swimmer, etc.


 Bury and Elton Swimming Club welcomes new members of all ages, abilities and backgrounds - from learner swimmers to team swimmers. It offers a comprehensive training programme which given personal commitment and effort, will enable each member to reach his or her own maximum potential in a fun and safe environment.

Whilst all of our training sessions are structured and disciplined, there is also an opportunity to make new friends, learn new skills and get some really great low impact exercise.

 

DO I HAVE TO BE A GOOD SWIMMER?

The short answer to this question is NO. Ability, in general, does not matter because  Bury and Elton has such a wide range of programmes and facilities to accommodate any type of swimmer. In most cases we will have training schedule  to match your needs, from teaching a young child to learn to swim, right through to providing expert coaching to fully fledged swimmers of all abilities.

 

GETTING STARTED

Getting swimming with Bury and Elton is simple, and we always welcome new members. We never think that questions are daft or silly, because we probably asked them ourselves when we joined... and we appreciate that you will have lots of questions too. We also know that you will probably want to come and have a look at what we do and how we do it, and so welcome people along to have a look (and try of course).

Step 1: Get in Touch With Us

Come to one of our training sessions and see the coach / teacher  

Step 2: Coming Along and Try

Your swimmer will be assessed by one of our coaches and given an allotted session for them to attend. The assessment will take place on Club Night which is on a Wednesday and you must arrive by 7.00pm for assessment at 7.15pm. After the assessment you can then join our club at the desk and start to swim the next week or if your session is full placed on our waiting list. Please make yourself known at the desk so they can arrange your swimmers assessment. Please be aware that rarely our assessment team are not available so you may have to return for your swimmer to be assessed.

Step 3: Selecting the swimmers ability 

Once you have had a look at us and we have had a look at you, you will be placed in session which matches your ability. .

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Once you've decided to join, there are 2 parts to the fees we ask you to pay:

Annual Club Membership + Monthly Fees or pay at the session each time

All competitive swimmers must also pay an annual registration fee to the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) to enable swimming in league gala’s, open meets etc. This fee also covers the costs of Insurance Premiums payable.

WHAT EQUIPMENT WILL I NEED?


During the trial period you will only need a swimming costume, swimming hat, goggles and a drink in a plastic drinks bottle – NON FIZZY – preferably squash.

If you decide to join us, a float, pull buoy, flippers and a drink will be essential. If you already have some items, then we won't ask you to buy them again, but anything you don't have can be purchased from our swim shop. All of the items stocked in our swim shop have been carefully selected as suitable for club use click Here to go to our swim shop. 

IS IT ALL SWIMMING?

In the main yes! - The core function of the club is to provide a wide range of swimming activities and facilities to develop all our young swimmers from “Tidlers” to “Teens”. However, we do believe in developing fully all leisure aspects of club life and therefore have a active and healthy social side to the club. Some are swim orientated like the club Galas, other activities have included, family Christmas discos.
