Dear Members,
We are happy to announce that Bayside Swimming Club continues to be a registered Swimming Victoria Club for the 2024/2025 season.
Our membership is made up of two components: the compulsory SV/SAL fee and the Bayside Club fee.
The SV/SAL fee goes to Swimming Victoria – the governing state body.
- Swimming Victoria provides us with the mandatory insurance for all our members.
- Allows you to compete at any swim meet.
- Covers you for insurance at any swim meet endorsed by Swimming Victoria.
The Bayside Club fee is used to cover internal costs. These include regular club administration, accounting and auditing, subscriptions, communications and club social expenses. It also provides the opportunity to:
- Participate as a member of our State and National Teams (pre-qualification required).
- Participate in Club-related trips and camps.
- Participate in our Club social events and activities.
It also covers the cost of nominated coaches attending selected Swimming Victoria meets. It should be noted that the Bayside Swimming Club fee does not cover the cost of any Squad coaching, outside of this meet attendance. It covers the cost of coaches attending selected swim meets throughout the SC and LC seasons.
The above information hopefully provides families with an insight to our operating costs and structure, as we want to ensure transparency for all our members.
As a not for profit organisation, any membership surplus will be used for the benefit of all our members in ways appropriate to the age and stage of all our members. Club membership for 2024/2025 runs for twelve months from July 1st 2024.
