MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS
Club membership is annual from 31st January to 1st February ALL members are required to renew CASC membership or resign. This process is initiated by e-mail from the Membership Secretary and must be completed by 31st January every year, to allow Swim England memberships to be renewed by CASC during February. Failure by members to renew membership will mean swimmers will not be permitted to swim from the 1st March due to a lack of Club membership, and therefore Swim England insurance.
To renew membership please complete the steps below before 31st January:
STEP 1 - Renewal Form
Please use the link in the renewal email received from the Membership Secretary. Renewal of membership gives automatic entry into the Club Championships (Email Membership Secretary if you experience any problems)
STEP 2 - Payment
Payment will be taken via your existing Direct Debit Mandate. Current rates are provided on the website Fees page.

Changing the Number of Sessions
Swimmers are encouraged to attend the maximum number of sessions available to their squad, see above. The fee structure is pay-by-squad so the more sessions you attend the more cost effective the fee. Any queries, please email the Treasurer
Club Finances
Chippenham ASC operates as a completely non-profit making club with the aim of matching expenditure with income. The vast majority of funds raised from membership fees and monthly standing orders is used to pay pool hire costs (>95%).
