Squads and Fees

Fees

All fees are collected by Direct Debit through GoCardless. Training fees are taken on the 1st of each month, and other charges, such as gala entry fees, are collected as they arise.

Membership Fees

In addition to monthly training fees, all members are required to pay two annual membership fees. 

CCSC Membership: £25.00 per annum 

Club membership is renewed each October. Members joining part-way through the membership year are charged on a pro rata basis, as follows: 

• Joining in October, November or December: £25.00

• Joining in January, February or March: £18.75

• Joining in April, May or June: £12.50

• Joining in July, August or September: £6.25

Swim England Registration

All swimmers must be registered with Swim England, the national governing body for the sport. Registration is renewed each January and is payable in full regardless of the date of joining.

• Tetras, Barracudas and Dolphins (non-competitive squads): £20.35

• All other squads: £46.85

Training Fees 

Monthly training fees are calculated on a 48-week basis to account for the club’s two-week break in August and for Bank Holidays, on which no training takes place. Fees are therefore payable every month throughout the year, including holiday periods.

Details of the monthly training fee for each squad can be found in the squad descriptions below.
