General:

The aim of this club is to promote the art of swimming and to encourage youngsters (and the not so young!) to participate competitively in domestic, inter-club, league open and County & Midland District competitions.

There are age restrictions on the youngest swimmers for certain categories of competition especially inter-club, league and open competitions, but the club does hold three domestic competitions every year! These are:

• The Annual Club Championships
   

• The Improvers Gala
   

• The Long Distance Championships

Useful Points:

• Club notice board is available at the Dolphin Centre and Bromsgrove School Pool. They are used to communicate information on many aspects of the club, especially important news.
   

• Competitive swimming in League Galas starts at age 9 and this is knows as the 'Junior League'.
   

• Most galas are 'age as at 31st December, in year of competition'. This is always more beneficial to the swimmer whose birthday falls in the first half of the year.
   

• Swimming club attire is readily available at the Swim Shop at discounted prices for members.

Important Notes:

• Regarding video cameras on the poolside, permission needs to be granted by the Promoter of the gala. For further information, see the Swimming Club notice board.
   

• Bromsgrove Swimming Club has personal accident insurance for all club members with Perkins Slade & Co, as recommended by the ASA.
