Teach to Swim                     £24/month</p> <p>Two or three swims per week                                    £36/month</p> <p>Non-active members                                                     £3.50/month to cover ASA fees then £7.00 per swim payable on the door.  Please have the exact money as change is not always available</p> <p> </p> <p>Open Meets – for our competitive swimmers we are starting to look at entering open meets again so please keep an eye on your emails as we will be sending out details as soon as we find one that we would like to promote to the club.</p> <p>Changing Rooms – we are now able to use these again so if you didn’t come back before as going home in your swimming kit wasn’t for you, you can now change after swimming as you did before keeping as socially distanced as possible.</p> <p> </p> <p>Enjoy the rest of the summer and we look forward to seeing you all at the pool soon</p> <p> </p> <p>MASC Committee &amp;
