Membership
Swimming South Australia is aligned with the national swimming body's calendar - Swimming Australia. The season commences on the 1st of October each year and concludes on the 30th of September of the following year. Each season runs concurrently. All individuals wishing to compete in any Swimming SA meets or club carnivals must be a registered member with a club. A parent or guardian of the competitive swimmer (under 18) is also required to register. There are a number of different membership options now available which offer incentives for younger swimmers and first time swimmers to join the club.
When you register with the club you will be asked to acknowledge the conditions of being a member of Swimming SA and its member clubs.

These membership categories are listed on the table below. The most common form of membership is as a 'swimmer' - this allows entry to all endorsed and club meets. Competitive swimmers are levied at $133 each. Parents are charged $27 (It is a Swimming SA requirement that one parent from each family needs to be registered). There are no discounts applicable for membership part way through the season or for additional siblings. There will also be a small fee for online payment processing.
