London Borough of Hounslow Swimming Club
New Member Secretary
including poolside liaison
Potential new members may email enquiries@lbhsc.co.uk or contact Paul or a
committee member.
Enquiries about trialling and membership would be forwarded to New Member
Secretary via enquiries@lbhsc.co.uk and potential new members are invited
for a trial on Wednesdays.
Potential new members may fill out an ‘enquiry form’ available from Paul
poolside.
These would then get passed to New Member Secretary who makes contact
and arrange a trial. Trials for pre squads are held at 5.30pm on Wednesdays.
New membership secretary goes through the joiner pack information with
parents and explains the club structure, payment etc.
Membership forms are on the website.
The joiner form requires the parent to email swimmer info and contact details
to the membership secretary. The joiner forms also explain the bank standing
order, bank details and list charges for ASA membership. Category 1 and 2
membership and what a licensed competition is explained by the New
membership secretary.
When New Member Secretary does the “chat” with parents of potential new
members the following is covered
 the benefits of swimming,
 how the club is run by volunteers, etc.
 suitable swimwear hydration drinks.
Apart from being a friendly face poolside that is where my “new member
liaison” role ends - except that once someone joins and has paid I give them
the club hat which is included in the £40,00 joining fee. I also, when asked,
supply the password for members to access password protected stuff on the
website.

The trialler parents email membership secretary , all the joiner info and also
set up the payment of joiner fee £40.00, ASA fee (annual) and monthly squad
fees.
The membership secretary liaises with the treasurer and once the fees are
paid the membership secretary informs the swimmer that they can start
training with the club. The membership secretary also registers the swimmer
with ASA and ensures that the new joiners contact details are added to the
club member database for emails and text messages.
