We understand that swimmers move between Swimming Clubs for a variety of reasons, we highly recommend you speak with the destination club to ensure they can accommodate the swimmer and that all parties are aware of all-club fees and costs to transfer.
The origin club can put a freeze on the transfer if there are unpaid fees in addition the Destination Club has the right to reject the new membership.
Club Transfers need to be completed in Swim Central, we suggest you read through this step-by-step guide How do I Transfer Clubs or call the Swimming WA office for assistance.
