New pupils are now entitled to a free assessment which take place at Bracknell Leisure Centre on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month (except August) . To find out more and to book an assessment, contact Michelle Douglas at academy@bwsc.org.uk or our Chief Coach Nigel Willis at coach@bwsc.org.uk (Tel: 01252 870838). Following your assessment, you will be assigned to one of our academy stages (or a squad if appropriate).

After your trial period, if you want to continue you can join by completing a Academy Application Form. Post the form together with your cheque, to Michelle Douglas, 41 Batcombe Mead, Forest Park, Bracknell RG12 0GN or give it to Michelle or Laura MacGregor on a Tuesday evening at the pool.

All swimmers are encouraged to wear swim hats and goggles (hats are compulsory at Harmanswater). Fins are also recommended for stage 5 upwards.

Any swimmer missing four lessons without notification will be considered to have given up his or her place on the course, which may be offered to someone else if there is a waiting list.

BWSA water test assessments occur on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday in the month
