Grants for Swimmers
Individal swimmers and representative teams can apply for grants from the following sources. The West Coast Swimming Club just asks that you communicate with one of our executive committee members if you have decided to pursue one of these opportunities as it may involve aligning your application with the strategic aims of the club. In the past we have successfully generated funds to offset the costs of travel, entry fees and uniforms which can be very expensive particularly when swimming at state or national level and when selected into development squads. The grants listed are in order of your swimming potential. For example if you are competing at Country Championship Level, State Championship Level or National Level. All of the grants are open to multiclass swimmers.
