G.A.S.C. is a swimming club whose primary object is to provide training and development up and including competitive swimming. For those seeking competitions there are several levels from local friendly galas right up to District level.

Membership of the club is available for anyone 5 or over or to candidates who are 4 and over and who have got a certificate to prove they have completed National Plan for Swimming Level 1 and 2 (see Potters section for details).

Anyone interested in joining the club must contact the Membership Secretary - Liz Kearslake - email: hattyhonda@aol.com .  Liz will then advise you of which session(s) to attend first so that an assessment can be carried out by one of the club coaches.

The function of the Committee is to provide the administration back-up to ensure that training, development and competitions takes place in a safe structured and enjoyable environment. The Committee is also responsible for providing transport to away galas if necessary, and to organise overseas visits to clubs on an exchange basis to give our swimmers the opportunity to compete against swimmers in other countries.

There is a Club Notice board at Glossop and New Mills pool which you should check regularly for gala details and other information.

Hopefully, this has made matters a little clearer to you with regard to the swimming set up in GASC. Whilst we tried to cover most of the things you will want to know, it is impossible to cover absolutely everything, so do not be afraid to ask.
