Interested in joining WSC ?

Anybody wanting to join Woking Swimming Club should contact newmembers@wokingsc.co.uk

If you are interested in your child joining our club then we will ask him or her to attend a trial in order to assess their ability and establish whether or not we have a space for them within their age group and ability.

We hold trials each term, usually about 2 to 3 weeks before the end of term, so we can offer places for the beginning of the next term. These trials are aimed at children wishing to join in the younger age groups (aged 5 to 7).

The child should be able to swim approx 15-25 metres, with a reasonable stroke. At the trial we will ask them to swim a length (in the training pool) of front crawl, then a length of backstroke and depending on their ability maybe another couple of lengths.

We usually notify all the local schools 2 weeks beforehand and ask them to give notes to the children to take home. We also post notices at the Woking Leisure Centre and at Woking library.

We will allocate your child a time to come along and show us his/her swimming in the training pool at Woking. The trial is free of charge.

For older children, we like to have an idea of your ability before booking you for a trial, as the older you are the harder it is to step into a competitive club and swim with children in your own age group.

If you are already at another swim club and are looking to transfer, perhaps you are moving into the Woking area, then email us and we'll take it from there.

Remember, we are a competitive swimming club and are looking for children who want to swim competitively and whose family are prepared to accept the commitment. We also appreciate parents and guardians who are happy to help out at galas and participate, on a voluntary basis, in the running of the club.
