There are two levels of membership to TSW Dolphins: Competitive Membership, Non-Competitive Membership.

Competitive Membership

This entitles members to compete officially. Membership to TSW Dolphins automatically means they are registered to Wellington Swimming Association and Swimming New Zealand.  Swimmers cannot compete for official times without being a registered swimmer.  Annual fees are due on April 1 and includes a compulsory $20 non-competitive membership fee for a parent/caregiver.  Refer to the Membership Application Form below for the fee schedule.

New members also receive a TSW Dolphins racing cap as part of their membership fee.

Membership Application Form

Non Competitive Membership

This allows anyone to become a financial member, without the option of competing. One parent or caregiver must sign up with their swimmer as a non-competitive member. The annual cost for additional non-competitive members is $20.

Advantages of being a non-competitive member are that parents/caregivers can:

• Participate in club decision making. (Members need to be 16 and over and a financial member to vote at the AGM or hold an official club position.)
• Become technical officials (timekeepers, recorders, starters, referees) under Swimming New Zealand rules.

Coaching Fees

In addition to the annual TSW Dolphins membership fee, swimmers pay coaching fees to TSW Swim School. These are based on a sliding scale, with the cost reducing the more sessions a swimmer attends.
