Invoices are raised on the 25th of each month. You need to set up a direct debit for payment of fees - see direct debit set up guide. Direct debits will be claimed by the club around the 1st of each month and include a 1% processing fee. The direct debit should leave your account within 3-4 working days.

Please note that squad fees are paid 12 months per year for squads P3, P2, P1, C4, C3, C2 and C1. For all other groups billing is over 11 months.

The annual club membership fee is £33.00 for swimmers. This is collected on an annual basis in September. This is a non-refundable payment if a swimmer leaves partway through the year.

Join TASC as a Non-Swimming Member

Any swimmer that joins Tynemouth Amateur Swimming club will be registered with Swim England as an affiliated member of the club. This membership only applies to the swimmer and does not automatically extend to parents and guardians.

TASC welcomes member applications from any non-swimmers who wish to volunteer for the Club and become affiliated members.

TASC also welcomes member applications from parents and guardians of swimmers who wish to become affiliated members but can not commit to volunteering for the club.

What does being a member mean:

Being a member gives you the right to vote at any TASC Annual General Meeting (AGM) or Special General Meeting (SGM). This means that you will be able to vote to select committee members and have a say on how the club operates in terms of the Constitution. Committee members are the custodians of the club, who work hard to keep the club running and, most importantly, make the decisions that directly impact the quality of the swimmer’s development, opportunities, and experience.

As a TASC member (apart from parent/guardian members, although this can be arranged if requested), you also become a member of Swim England, the national governing body for swimming, diving, water polo and synchronised swimming.

Swim England membership benefits include:

  • Being part of the Swim England family (over 198,000 members)
  • Insurance cover: civil liability, legal expenses and personal accident cover
  • 25 per cent discount on TYR kit and free delivery
  • Discounts on a range of swimming challenges and open water events
  • Exclusive Swim England and British Swimming ticket offers
