Joining Bristol Henleaze is fairly straightforward.
First off; make contact with any of the club coaches and arrange a trial. You will find contact numbers on this website. The trial takes place at one of our training nights, usually before the main session starts.
The applicant will be asked to demonstrate their ability by swimming one width or length of the pool in three out of four strokes; front crawl, back crawl, breast stroke and butterfly.
Bristol Henleaze do not currently offer learn to swim sessions; many such courses are offered at the Councils swimming baths. Bristol Henleaze work closely with learn to swim schools to offer further skill development and a route into the sport of competitive swimming.
After your trial the coach will inform you whether your swimming has reached the desired standard for entry into the club or whether any further practice is necessary before entry is offered.
Occasionally there may also be a waiting list.
if you are offered a place you will be provided with a joiners pack which you should complete and return with your fees at your first session. Details of the charges the club makes are given separately on this website.
But dont be overawed by the prospect of a trial, we are a friendly club and will make the process as easy and enjoyable as possible. Swimming is a fantastic sport which offers many benefits.
If you would like to observe any of our training sessions before joining please do not hesitate to come along to any one of the swim school or junior sessions on our diary, make yourself known to the coaches, see what goes on and discuss your needs.
