Club Membership Information

The Casey Seals club caters for adults (over 18 years of age) with varied abilities and training requirements ranging from social swimmers (some do more talking than swimming) through to top competitors, including open-water swimmers and triathletes. We offer the choice of club or full membership, so that you can choose the option which best suits your needs.

While it is not necessary to be a club member to join in our training sessions, you will receive the benefit of reduced training fees if you take out either of the two membership options listed below.

Please note that if you wish to compete at Masters Swimming events (except for Masters Games), you must take out Full Membership.

Club Membership

Club membership for the 2010 calendar year (ie. 1 Jan to 31 Dec 2010) costs just $25 (or $15 for half-year membership from 1 July 2010). This gives you:

• Discounted training fees
• A regular newsletter
• An invitation for you and your family to attend social events
• The joys of belonging to a fun and committed group of people with common interests.

Full Membership

Full membership gives you the Club Membership plus registration with Masters Swimming Victoria ("MSV"). The membership fees (including both Club and MSV fees) are currently:

12-months	1 Jan 2010 to 31 Dec 2010:	$95
4-months	1 Sept 2009 to 31 Dec 2009:	$34
16-months	1 Sept 2009 to 31 Dec 2010:	$111

Masters Swimming Victoria membership entitles you to:

• Compete in sanctioned sprint and long distance competitions, which include interclub, state and national meets
• Insurance cover while engaged in any Masters Swimming or Casey Seals event
• A quarterly Masters Swimming Victoria newsletter

Masters Swimming

Masters Swimming Australia, previously known as AUSSI Masters Swimming (or the Australian Union of Senior Swimmers International), was established in 1976 and has the motto of swimming for "Fitness, Friendship and Fun". There are currently more than 1,000 members in Victoria and over 7,000 around Australia.

You don't have to be a star swimmer to compete, especially in the smaller interclub meets which are fun and often informal events with a supper afterwards.

In all Master Swimming competitions, you will be placed into heats with other swimmers of a similar standard based on the entry time that you put in, regardless of your age and gender. This way you don't have to be embarrassed about not being one of the fastest swimmers.

You don't even have to know how to dive - you can start in the water if you'd prefer.

Remember that the emphasis in Masters Swimming is participation and having fun, rather than winning.

How to Join

To join the club, you need to decide whether you want to be a full member with MSV membership or a club-only member (read about these options earlier on this page).

Joining as a Club-only Member

You will need to get a Membership Application Form (see below), fill in your details, and pass it to one of the Committee members with the appropriate membership fee.

Joining as a Full Member (Club + MSV)

You can join in either of the following 2 ways:

1. Online through Masters Swimming Australia

2. Membership Application Form

More Information

Please contact any of the Committee members for more information.
