However to spread the burden the club have always accepted payment on a monthly basis. The reason the fees are annual and payable in advance, is that, as a Club we have to pay each swimmer, diver and volunteer ASA subscription fees annually in advance. In addition we need to budget for many other costs including Club Champs, league galas, training of volunteers, replacing old equipment and so on. Although some of our coaches are paid, the rates we pay are well below the market level. All club officials are volunteers and this is how we keep our costs low.
