Annual Swimming Fee 2026
£40.00per member, per year
Every swimmer and coach must hold a current annual club membership. It is separate from your monthly group fees. When you pay it, the club registers you with Swim England and covers your registration for the calendar year.
When to pay
Membership runs for the calendar year. Existing members renew each January. New members can join at any time during the year and pay the same annual fee.

Included with your membership
Swim England registration
Everyone who swims, coaches, helps or holds a membership must be registered with Swim England. You don't arrange this yourself. When you pay your annual membership fee, the club registers you and pays your Swim England membership on your behalf. The category you're registered at depends on your age and how you take part.
Your cover depends on a current membership
Your insurance comes from Swim England registration, which the club keeps active while your annual membership is paid. If your membership lapses you are no longer registered or insured, and cannot swim or take part in club activities.
