The club is run on an entirely voluntary basis, by a small committee, which is elected at the annual general meeting (AGM).
The club adheres to swimming and diving rules approved by the Swim England formerly known as ASA and has its own formal constitution by which it is administered. A copy of this is available from the secretary.
The club has Professional Coaches some are paid and some are voluntary. Our head coach is Tom Lowther, his role is to lead the coaching team to ensure all club swimmers and coaches are given the opportunity to achieve their potential with her guidance knowledge and experience.
Funding of the club is entirely from membership fees, session fees, charges for individual events and fundraising/sponsorship. We aim to keep the costs down to a minimum but obviously, we need to cover all the expenses incurred such as pool hire, coach's fees and expenses, affiliation fees, league fees, trophies and medals etc.
We hope that this website explains many of the questions, which might be asked when you join the swimming club, but please ask a committee member if you have any queries.
City of Ely Amateur Swimming Club is run by a network of Volunteers, without whom our Club would not be viable. If you are thinking of helping out in any way, we would love to hear from you.
It might be just occasional support, perhaps lending us your skills for a specific task, or helping more routinely poolside, perhaps training to be an official, or even joining the Committee. Whatever you can do for us, it is our goal to provide you with the support and training that you may require, and welcome you as a valued member of our to Club.
Please do speak to any member of the Committee, to see how you might be able to help.
