Karori Pirates Club membership

The annual Karori Pirates Swimming Club Inc membership fee is payable on enrolment with the Club.  The Karori Pirates registration year runs from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011 and costs $75.00.

As a swimming club we are obliged to register all our members with Swimming Wellington (SW).  There is an annual registration fee of $70.00.  The SW registration year runs from 1 July to 30 June the following year.  It is possible to join SW at any time of the year, however, the full fee of $70.00 is payable irrespective of the registration date.  Membership to SW allows swimmers to attend the many swimming meets which are held during the year.
