Wadebridge ASC Club information
Currently we have around 120 members of all ages.
This is the largest recorded membership, a true reflection of the clubs growth
and success. The club is funded by subscriptions, augmented by some fund-raising activity,
and is run entirely by volunteers. A proportion of these fees goes directly to
the Western Counties Amateur Swimming Association (WCASA). The Club is divided
into Squads, with new members usually joining the Development Squad, progressing
on from the organised swimming lessons at the leisure centre. As swimmers
progress they move up through the Squad system, hopefully right up to Senior
Squad. Throughout the year there are various additional activities aimed at
certain squads.
Club Aims
The aim of Wadebridge Amateur Swimming Club is to
improve the swimming of all our members and encourage them to set and work
towards 'personal best' (PB) goals. Although most swimmers participate in
competitive swimming at appropriate levels, some swimmers choose to follow a
recreational training programme, taking part only in club events. We hope all
our members will develop a positive sporting attitude, a life-long interest in
swimming, personal fitness and health, and that being a member of the club will
also help them develop some general life skills, such as social interaction,
personal discipline, commitment etc.
