People at the heart of the club
A shared experience, in and out of the water.
Opportunity
If cost is making participation difficult, talk to us.
We are a charity and we are here to help people take part. If costs are getting in the way, speak privately to the Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary or any other member of the Management Team so we can understand your circumstances and explore what support we can offer.
If you feel more comfortable speaking to a Welfare Officer first, they can help you start the conversation. The participation-support section on the Contact page explains who to speak to.
