How We Support Your Child

At Kingfishers, our approach focuses on:

• Safety First: Our fully qualified coaches are trained to prioritize water safety, ensuring your child learns in a secure and supportive environment.

• Personalized Training: We cater to all skill levels, from beginners learning the basics to advanced swimmers striving for excellence.

Maureen Hardy is usually on hand on Saturday and Wednesday training sessions for payment of open meet fee entries

Each Swimmer will be given a unique reference number to be used on the Standing Order.  

Please email Michele at armthorpeswimclub@gmail.com if you have any payment related enquiries. 

It is important that fees are paid on time to ensure that swimmers are covered by insurance.  

Non payment could result in swimmers not being allowed in the pool.

DARTES 

'After discussion with DARTES it has been decided that ASA Fees are best paid through Armthorpe. 

The amount is £36.10 and if you would prefer to do a bank transfer please email me for our bank details.'

What happens on race day?

The first gala can be a daunting or nervous time for some swimmers, so it's always important to try and make the experience fun! We try to introduce our younger swimmers to galas at our club championships or Blue V's Yellow gala so they get the feel for the general protocol. 

Every gala will have a designated warm up time, it is very important that your child is changed and on poolside at least 15 minutes before this warm-up time. Warm-ups are usually split into 2 groups by either age or gender. Once warm-up is over there is a short break before the racing starts. Each team will have one or more Team Managers who have the lists of which child is swimming what. As long as your child stays on poolside the team managers will make sure they are ready for their race.
