Our Fees

Affiliation Fees

Swim England members are covered by a Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurance policy arranged with Hiscox Insurance Company Ltd. This protects affiliated members, teachers and coaches, officials and clubs if they are held to be negligent for causing injury to someone else or damage to someone's property whilst undertaking swimming, diving and other aquatic activities recognised by Swim England. Swim England members also benefit from a basic Personal Accident insurance - This 'no fault' benefit provides cover to Swim England members for specified injuries whilst taking part in swimming, diving and aquatic activities recognised by Swim England.

Anyone who steps onto the pool deck to train, teach, coach or volunteer must have Swim England membership in place, as well as the relevant DBS and Safeguarding certificate (age restrictions may apply).

There are three main categories of annual club membership. These are Club Train, Club Compete and Club Support. There is an overview of each below:

Club Train Membership − This is for individuals who are part of a club and are learning to swim or are swimming at any level within the club network. It is not for people who compete in open competition in any sport, unless the event has an exemption under Swim England Law or is designated as Low-Level Competition.

Club Compete Membership − Club Compete is our biggest category as it is for people who want to compete and be part of a structured competitive pathway. It is for your club members who want to compete in competitions not exempted under Swim England law or designated as Low-Level Competition.

Club Support Membership − Club Support is for anyone involved in a club who isn’t covered by Club Train or Club Compete, such as volunteers, coaches, and teachers. A proportion of your fee goes to the county, part to the region and the remainder to Swim England.
