We offer every new swimmer three free, no-obligation trial sessions to meet our coaches, make new friends, and see what being part of the AST family is all about.

Your simple 3-step guide

Step 1

Get in touch

Complete our free trial form. We usually welcome swimmers who are at late Stage 5 or Stage 6 and above. To help our coaches find the right session, the form asks for your name and the swimmer’s name, age, best contact details, current swimming experience, and how you heard about us.

Step 2

We’ll be in touch

Once we receive your details, our Membership Secretary will normally reply within 24 hours to arrange the best date and time at Burnham Swim and Sports Academy pool.

Step 3

Dive in and have fun

Bring normal swimwear, goggles and a drink; we provide everything else. After the three sessions, our coaches will recommend the right squad and, where appropriate, invite you to complete the Membership & Medical form.
