The Course Leader will be Ralph Shortland to whom applications should be sent to as soon as possible, initially by email soc@middlesexswimming.com so that he can reserve a place and send the ASA application form. The cost for the course is £8 per person and all candidates must be ASA registered prior to submitting an application form. (ASA registrations are always busy so if there is a problem getting ASA membership details prior to the actual course start date, as long as it is confirmed that an application for ASA membership has been sent by the club, then that should be ok)

Keep Fit or Competitive Swimming for Adults
Staines Swimming Club Masters section is for adults who want to swim to keep fit or to compete. As long as you are over 18, age doesn't matter, as long as you can swim a few lengths, technique doesn't matter, you don't even have to swim all 4 strokes. It's a great way to keep fit and a great way to make new friends.
