Membership is £5 annually, though there is now a discounted option to join for £3. We have introduced this to encourage swimmers who otherwise might not join the association to do so, especially in times such as these where a strong collective voice for swimmers has never been needed more. Membership without payment is full membership. We do strongly encourage those who can to pay the £5 fee, which helps cover our costs both routine (administration, annual events) and exceptional (campaigning funds, nice-to-haves). There is also an option to add an additional donation; many members do and this is much appreciated. This is also what allows us to provide the discounted option.
