Membership runs from January to December; the renewals fee for existing members is £36:20 and £41.20 for new members (new members will receive a swim hat on joining). The membership fee includes Swim England Category 1, i.e. non-competitive swimmers. The club currently doesn't take part in any events that require Category 2 membership. However swimmers may compete individually in Open events (e.g. County Championships) that do require Cat 2 membership. Please say when applying if this is likely to be the case.
The Swan Pool charges each swimmer an entry fee of £3.25 (Subject to increase) for each club session. Currently this has to be paid on entry at reception. Membership of MORE THAN does not include this fee.
In future, sessions may be able to be booked online

Masters Swimming
We welcome new Masters swimmers into the Club though due to large demand and a limit on spaces we have to ask that they commit to supporting committee roles or events for the Club. We receive many enquiries from Masters swimmers in the area, whilst the club will do its best it is not always possible to accommodate demand for all new Master’s enquiries. As well as being asked to help support the club, the criteria we apply are provided below:
1. Masters swimming is available to people in our local community
2. We will always give first priority to parents of BSSC swimmers who wish to return to swimming
3. A good first stroke is required with confidence in at least one other.
4. The sessions are generally around 2000 metres (80 lengths) and will be a mix of technique and interval training.
If you are interested in joining then please contact our Chair using the email address provided.
