STANDARD MEMBERSHIP (SWIMMERS)

Ye Amphibious Ancients Bathing Association membership is open to adults and all children over the age of 5 years old. Currently we offer 2 membership categories: Adult (£90), Junior (£70) Memberships. These are Full year costs payable in march each year.

An Adult Standard Membership is for a swimmer age 16 years or over and our Junior Standard Memberships are for children aged 15 years and under.

The annual membership charge is due on joining the club and renewed thereafter in March each year and includes SASA membership. The SASA registration fee provides insurance cover for both members and the club and also allows the swimmers to compete and participate in other water sports disciplines.

VOLUNTEER MEMBERSHIP (NON-SWIMMERS)

We also require volunteers to help run the clubs events, acting as Technical Officials, Harbour Duty Person, First Aider, Fundraisers, Stewards/Marshalls at special events (e.g. Annual Dook).

CLUB MEMBERSHIP PORTAL

From 1st Apr, we are using Spond, which is a sports club membership portal, to help with the club administration. Once you have been sucessfully registered with Scottish Swimming, you will be sent a link to use to access the YeAABA Spond site.

Once you have accessed spond you will be able to register for events listed, either as a swimmer or in a volunteer capacity. This will allow us to determine if we have sufficient cover to make the event run.

This year we are starting with the harbour training dates. Next year (25/26) we will add the club only swims to Spond as well, leaving only the “Open” swims bookable via the website in 2025/26 season.
