| Please could all swimmers use the cubicles to change in and the lockers to store their clothes, so the cubicle is then free for another person to use! THANK YOU!

| SASA (Scottish Swimming) Fees |
| Every swimmer within the club has to registered with SASA. The fee for this that parents/carers pay has always been high and has increased again this year. The club will be subsidising the fee by £10 per swimmer so swimmers will pay £45 this year for SASA. More information on payment details to follow. |
