Get Involved

Our club does so much more than train the next generation of athletes.
We build individual confidence and self-esteem, help to forge new relationships, and 
promote respect, cooperation, motivation and discipline into our members lives.


Membership fees alone are not enough to sustain our club. Pool time, 
equipment and the other expenses are involved in providing our members the 
best possible experience. These expenses contribute to a challenging financial environment.

We are fortunate to have dedicated members and parents and support from the wider community. Our members and parents are our biggest champions, giving time and other resources to help us continue to thrive.  Are you also in a position to help?

Want to Help?

Donate your time

Why not ask one of the coaches if you can help? One of the easiest ways to help is by timekeeping during timings at the training sessions or galas, or even helping organise the swimmers at poolside on gala days.

The Club needs more volunteers so please contact any coach to volunteer some help in any way from fundraising to poolside.

Easyfundraising

Raise money whilst you shop with Easyfundraising. It is a really good habit to get into as it will help us raise funds through retailers’ donations and, it won’t cost you a any extra.

Start your online shopping at Easyfundraising, then shop as normal. Retailers then make a small donation to say, “thankyou”.

There are over 7,000 brands to choose from Amazon, John Lewis, M&S, Argos, Boots and many more covering fashion & beauty, entertainment and travel.

Sponsorship

If you are a local business, why not support your local club. You will benefit from free advertising on this website.  We have already had support from the club sponsors noted below, why not join them and support our club.

Events

Club Championships

Each year the swimming Club organises the Guisborough Championship Gala Day where full members can participate in swimming races. This event is normally held in November of each year, with the heats held during one or more of the weekly training sessions and then the finals on a Saturday. Anyone who is a Full Member is encouraged to participate in the gala and parents and friends are invited along to cheer on the swimmers. There are medals for the finalists, trophies for the winners and also an award for each age group winner.

The Club disco follows the Gala on the evening when trophies and awards are presented to the swimmers. A fun relaxing time is had by all after the excitement of the Gala Day.

Parental Responsibilities

Parents and/or relatives are welcome to watch training sessions at any time. If you have to leave your child at the pool, please return within good time to pick them up. However, the committee would strongly encourage parents and relatives to remain at the poolside for the duration of the session, to show support, not only for the child, but also towards the Club as a whole. The Committee would actively urge parents to become involved in the running of the Club, at whatever level they feel they could.

GASC also strongly encourages parents to support the swimmers at galas and show respect to the other swimmers at all times, especially at the start of races.
