Becoming a member

What does membership include?

Free to attend all training sessions, with all sessions lead by a committee member as well as coached swim and track sessions each week. Also allows for the use of club equipment such as turbos and wetsuits (subject to availability), access to club kit orders, and subsidised transport to races. 

You are welcome to come to any of our sessions to try it out before becoming a member. For more information sign up to our mailing list here.

Membership options for 2023-24

Instead of the pool top-up, OUTriC members no longer need a swim top-up/Active Fusion membership to gain access to the pool for club sessions. Instead, there will be a centralised Sports Fed fee of £10 for annual memberships and £3.50 for termly memberships. Members will be charged that amount on-top of the club membership in upon purchasing the membership.
