Membership and Email Subscriptions

This is the final week for completing your Membership Renewals for 2023 – ORCA will soon be submitting the membership list to Swim England and any 2022 members that have not reviewed their membership will be “LAPSED” as members of ORCA in this process.

This means that swimmers who have not renewed membership will not be allowed to train or compete at ORCA and will be asked to leave poolside for insurance purposes until their membership has been processed.

During the membership application process, we have added any email addresses that you have provided to the email subscription list. In accordance with GDPR, if you wish no not recieve these emails there is an “unsubscribe” link at the foot of each news post. Selecting this will then remove you from the email list and you will no longer recieve email posts from ORCA.
