Fee structure for next season
The committee has been distributing the new season squad letters and there have been some queries regarding the increase in fees for the coming season.
The club, although a charity, simply cannot afford to run at a loss, and despite the success of obtaining a number of sponsors for the coming year this is not enough to cover the running costs for this club.
The Trustees agreed that the fees for the coming season would need to be increased in all areas; from Waterpolo, Lessons and Competitive Swimming through to Masters and Sharks. The fee increase has been kept as low as we are able with the largest increase for the competitive squads being £1.80 per hour of swimming. This figure remains competitive with the cost that a swimmer could expect to pay to enter the Aquadrome for public swimming, with the added benefit that a Bluefins swimmer has the use of dedicated pool and coach time.
Sharks fees have increased by a further amount to cover the cost of the more intense coaching they require.
