We are pleased to confirm that we are starting the 2025-26 season on Sunday, 26 October 2025.
The first session of Friday Personal Bests will be on Friday, 31 October at 18:00-19:00.
Dickson Swim Club is a recreational club and will continue to run non-competitive group training activities. The time table and swim skill levels for each group are available under Events.
MEMBER REGISTRATION
Online registrations for 2025-26 are now open on Swim Central.
Registration instructions are available under Join Now.
The swimmer membership covers Friday night and Sunday morning training sessions at Dickson Pool. This membership does not cover participation in regional, state and national competitive meets, as Dickson Swim Club is not a competitive club. Please note that pool entry fees still apply.
Unfortunately, Swimming Australia/NSW/ACT affiliation and insurance fees have increased by about 20% this season. As a result membership fees for swimmers are now set to $145.91 per swimmer. Discounts are available for families with three or more children, or those experiencing financial hardship.
Anyone who is already a member of another Swimming NSW affiliated club should use the Second Claim Member option, set to $46.80 this season, to avoid paying for insurance twice.
If you are new to the club, you are welcome to a four week free trial before you commit to registration.
DUTY OF CARE
Duty of care is a responsibility of guardians. Families should be mindful of the aquatic supervision guidelines. Dickson Pool mandates that children under 15 years MUST be accompanied by responsible adult aged 18+.
Keep Watch Policy
In accordance with national aquatic safety standards, Dickson Pool requests that:
- A parent or guardian remains on-site for the duration of each Club session.
- Children are appropriately supervised before and after their scheduled swim times.
This policy is designed to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all swimmers and to support staff in maintaining a secure environment.
- 0-5 Year olds & non-swimmers: stay within arm’s reach
- 6-12 year olds & weak swimmers: Be close, be prepared & maintain constant visual contact
- 13-14 Year olds: Maintain visual contact.
VOLUNTEERING
Dickson Swim Club is run entirely by volunteers. Your participation is greatly appreciated and welcomed. Either email Dickson Swim Club or let a committee member know if you are willing to help pre, post, during or outside of the pool events.
All families will be asked to sign up on the pancake roster. Pancake responsibilities include shopping for supplies, preparing the batter and cooking pancakes. All utensils and instructions are provided.
Please help with timing on Friday nights – no skills required.
If you are interested in becoming a coach, the club is happy to fund and assist with your training.
We look forward to seeing you at the pool!
