*Illustrative monthly-fee equivalent at full use. Annual registration is extra. Actual cost per attended hour depends on attendance and session availability.
Weekly hours × 52 ÷ 12 gives illustrative average monthly hours. The monthly fee is divided by that figure. This annualises a normal timetable; it does not promise 52 weeks of sessions. Holidays, closures and programme changes can reduce availability.
Development uses three core hours; invitation-only weekend sessions are excluded. Including one £54.95 annual charge gives £3.81 per available Development hour and £1.65 per available Performance hour. Registration is payable on joining and each September.
At two one-hour Development sessions a week, the monthly-fee equivalent is £5.19 per attended hour. At four 90-minute Performance sessions, it is £2.31. These examples exclude registration and use the same 52/12 illustration.
The £27.00 monthly price for a weekly 30-minute lesson is an example supplied by the club, not a current quotation from a named provider. Other providers’ prices and charges vary.
Included in swimming membership
Development and Performance membership brings together regular coaching and these additional opportunities. The team confirms suitable access and participation.

Development athletes are encouraged to attend two to three sessions each week; Performance athletes are expected to attend four or more. Discuss school, work and other commitments with the coaches to find a sustainable routine.
