1830 --- 2000 Sunday

'B' Squad

1730 --- 1830 Sunday

'C' Squad

Membership is always in demand and consequently there is often a waiting list. New members will be assessed by the Club Coach who will then advise which and how many sessions would be suitable for them.

For those members of suitable age and adequate ability the Club competes throughout the year in two leagues: the Teesside League and the Moors League. These along with our own annual club championships, usually held in November, are open to members of all abilities. Open galas at various venues are available to individually registered ASA members. Our Coach will keep anyone interested, informed of these.

Swim 21
=======

Swim 21 is the Amateur Swimming Association’s development programme for the 21st Century. Northallerton ASC is currently in the process of gaining Swim 21 accreditation. In order to achieve accreditation the Club is required to produce an action plan and once that is approved, gather evidence to meet the accreditation criteria. The four main areas of accreditation are:
· Swimmer development
· Teacher/Coach Education
· Club Administration
· Partnerships

By participating in this process it is hoped that the Club can improve all of the above aspects to the benefit of all our members. Swim 21 accreditation will also make it easier for other people and organisations, such as the Local Authority, to understand the aims of the Club and identify areas where assistance may be needed. If you would like to know more about Swim 21 please speak to any of the Committee members.


Children should always wear our Club swimming hat and Club T shirt in Club colours which are available free of charge to swimmers who represent the Club in swimming competitions. In addition a red Club swimming hat is available for training sessions.

If your son/daughter has been selected to swim as part of the Moors Swimming Squad in other competitions they should wear a Moors Swimming Squad hat, there is also a T-shirt available with the Moors logo
