Welcome to Redlands Swim Club — here’s everything you need to get started. This guide walks you through your first steps, what happens next, and how to stay organised for the season ahead.
📋 Onboarding checklist
- Confirm squad allocation
- Add training times to your calendar
- Purchase uniform essentials (your first RSC swim cap is complimentary), see uniform expectations
- Join our Facebook group
- Add club email info@redlandsswiming.com.au to contacts (so nothing goes to Junk)
- Keep membership current through Swim Central (membership expires 30 June every year)
- Nominate for your first meet through Swim Central: we will give advance notice of upcoming meets, or you can refer to them in the Swimming Brisbane Club Meet Allocations document
- Arrive at training at least 5 minutes early to ensure a strict start time
🔄 What Happens Next
Once your swimmer is settled into their squad, you’ll start receiving meet information, season updates, and any important notices via email and Facebook. As the season progresses, you’ll nominate for meets through Swim Central, support your swimmer at club events, and stay connected with coaches and committee updates.
💳 Fees
Memberships must remain current throughout the season to train and compete. Race entry fees are paid per meet through Swim Central. For a full breakdown of all fees, please see our Fees Overview page.
🥽What to bring to training?
- Swimwear (not boardshorts/leisurewear)
- Goggles — a spare pair in the bag is never a bad idea
- A drink bottle
- A towel
- RSC Swim Cap (all new members receive one complimentary cap)
Your coach will let you know if your child’s squad needs any equipment beyond this — common extras include fins, a kickboard, a pull buoy, a snorkel. No need to buy any of this before your first session.
