Welcome, bienvenue, wilkommen, witamy, bienvenido, fáilte to Dublin Swimming Club.
We always welcome new members!
If you:
- Have recently moved to Dublin,
- Swam competitively when you were younger,
- Have done, or do triathlons,
- Would like to do the Liffey Swim, or other sea swims, or
- If you simply have that competitive urge to swim again…
… then Dublin Swimming Club is an ideal choice for you.
How do I join?
New members can join throughout the year; existing members will be asked to renew both their club and Swim Ireland membership on or before the 1st of November each year.
Membership of Swim Ireland is mandatory for members of Dublin Swimming Club - both competing and non-competing - and is included in the club membership fee. Swim Ireland membership ensures you can participate as an insured swimmer in all Open Water Committee races and Masters pool races linked to Swim Ireland.
New members and renewing members please use this form. The Swim Ireland membership form is available here.
New members must read and accept the Club Constitution and rules and must also complete the Swim Ireland registration form.
Forms will also be accepted and available at any of our training sessions; please feel free to join us.
How much does it cost?
To encourage as many as possible, we have reduced the annual membership to €64 for competing and just €48.50 for non-competing members (the fee for both covers Swim Ireland affiliation). See our full fee schedule for more details, including family membership rates.
New members are given the Club Constitution and rules and must also complete the Swim Ireland registration form.
